ETTelecom Interviews: BSNL 4G launch on track, 5G by August next year: Ashwini Vaishnaw - ET Telecom

"We are on track to rollout BSNL's 4G with a target to launch services in the first week of January. By August next year, 5G services will be deployed in BSNL's network. However, in some scenarios, it will be a simultaneous deployment so that the public sector telco can catch up with the private...

Hmm. 4G in January, 5G in August.
They will beat Jio's speed of rollout if this ever becomes true.
I'm not getting BSNL '4G' despite getting a 4G SIM in Kerala, and then they plan '5G' rollout.

I m currently using bsnl and getting 4G outside jammu (village akhnoor and my native village manwal). Speed is remarkably good

BSNL really works in these remote area where no other network is available. They focused on those areas primary my friend from Assam enjoy BSNL 4G.

BSNL to be allotted Rs 62,000 crore spectrum for 5G rollout

Officials said a committee of DoT has approved a proposal to give a 10 MHz block in the premium 700 MHz spectrum band worth about ₹40,000 crore along with 70 MHz in the mid-band (3600 MHz to 3670 MHz) worth about ₹22,000 crore to BSNL for 5G.

See this, waste of resources and waste of money.

BSNL would have benefitted if they launched it before Jio/Airtel, as per my understanding very few would prefer BSNL 5G (if launched) over Jio/Airtel.

I use BSNL Fiber at my village because it is the only service provider available there, in Hyderabad I use Airtel Fiber because I have multiple options here and I chose Airtel as it's service is far better compared to BSNL here. Same may apply for BSNL 5G

Villages don't have any private operator yet in broadband segment. Yet they don't want to provide fiber when many people wanted it since WFh started. Many IT people shifted to local operators which are far better than BSNL in all departments. That's the reason BSNL loosing in FTTH segment as well. Airtel and Jiofiber came from behind and having more connections than BSNL fiber. Don't expect anything from BSNL except far flung areas where only BSNL is available.

RIP Airtel only 5 block of 700 mhz spectrum left after bsnl allocation. After country wide release of 5g from bsnl and jio next year airtel will lose customers because of no indoor coverage

In MP recently BSNL has started providing their FTTH to almost all the village users since JIO Fiber is available in almost all the district towns BSNL is heavily losing its market there so the village subscription is only survival for them.

Yes, still many villages do not have any private broadband availability, during covid WFH I had to rely on Jio 4G.

BSNL Fiber is available at my village from past 9 months through franchise provided to private party.They are charging installation and activation charges as per their wish. When Jio and Airtel offer free installation, who will opt for BSNL fiber with huge charges and unreliable connection.

BSNL fiber is being opted only if it is the only operator available, now I feel Jio 4G was far better (no downtime at all though costly) than BSNL Fiber and I will move right away from BSNL when Jio/Airtel Fiber is available at my village.

Airtel fiber won't come mostly. Jiofiber will come by 2024.
