Discussion Airtel Unlimited 5G is Over for Prepaid Subscribers?

[thisisjagan]

Bro i use almost more than 100 gb data daily while downloading pirated pc games and even after 100-120 gb data i can surf unlimited internet at full speed. So yes jio is truly unlimited i almost use 800-900 gb data monthly

Never tried reaching more than 1 tb but will try

From 1 april to today

Last month

Jio has a strategy where when you stream or download much, they simply switch you 4G from 5G and exhaust your data. How's this working well for you. Or even when you get a call, it'll simply stay in 4G there after.

No such instances so far in jio. It is airtel even for speed test you data would exhaust and cc guys will say you are connected to 4G tower. Airtel is a converted 5G where as jio is standalone True 5G. Vo5G only works on jio so far in my phone.

See the screenshots of Airtel VS JIO
Airtel is NR over LTE
Jio is standalone NR

In terms of fair service Jio is on top, they are not cheating with customer atleast in data usage. They were among first to show data usage history with exact time.

I just wish Vi survive so condition doesn't worsen more than this where telecom companies are playing bad and TRAI is sleeping

Jio unlimited is nice,but their servers due to this unlimited gift are so overloaded when your mobile in low signal area is catching 4G signal the speeds are almost down in 4 G,that is disadvantages of unlimited 5 G use by others

Even after unlimited 4G in some of the states(mentioned by @Koji ) people aren't opting for Vi. How Vi will survive in that case? Vi 5G is cheaper to be honest. 299 1GB/day and 300GB. People still using Airtel which doesn't work at many places.

Bcoz VI doesn't work at lot of places while airtel maynot work at few places

Things are changing where AiVi is already available, Ai is downgrading and Vi is improving.

Can't speak for other places, but here people used Idea mainly because they had great coverage even in villages. Now, Jio and Airtel are also having great coverage in villages, Jio is even having coverage in remote areas and call quality in Airtel and Jio is also way better. It is seriously annoying to talk with anyone having Vi SIM, due to how horrible they sound. It is not great even Vi to Vi here, so people tend to not like them. And another major reason is people are afraid that Vi will shut down and then they will need to shift to a different operator again.
