Discussion Excitel CEO says AirFiber from Jio and Airtel are no match for actual wired broadband

[TheAndroidFreak]

What do you think is the future of that 700 MHz band?

It's good, but Jio has stopped the expansion of 5G totally. They have not able to deploy VoNR as well(The way they have deployed VoLTE on the go in 2016 itself, they have some kind of app as well for non support devices). Airtel deployed Nokia IMS better than Jio I feel and in really short span of time. I don't think Airtel will buy 600Mhz, but if it does for the SA network and VoNR, then everyone should be worried. But n105 ecosystem isn't ready. So Airtel should be thinking 1000 times before buying 60000-65000 crore spectrum.

I dont think that would happen at all

Because 7 star dominates andheri west for the last 2 decades

There is Vortex netsol which offers plans similar to excitel ,vortex netsol in versova offers 400mbps under 1000rs

I have seen excitel operating in khar west tho

Best case would be ,when i shift from where i stay currently and get excitel in whatever new place i go

From previously what I have known, one advice as well wisher, do relocate judging where there is competitive FTTH criteria and no p#mps like your current housing, now that India is almost covered with fiber unlike old days!

7 star doesn't provide anything above 300Mbps right?

Anything above 1000 for 500Mbps is ridiculous stuff in my opinion in urban areas.

Vortex Netsol isn't good from what I have heard.

the guy whom i got the connection installed from says there are 1gbps plan too (which are not available on the website)

I didnt ask for the pricing but I’m assuming 2500₹ a month

Vortex netsol is not bad imo

My college in andheri takes internet from them

Due to 100mbps ports on college pc it maxes out at 94mbps

Same applies for tp link routers used by college ,since those have 100mbps port and cap out at 94mbps
