I'm interested in seeing how much stake each of the promoters have given up to the government and what the final shareholding pattern looks like after the transfer of stake to the government.

The TOP TWO die hard VoId fans are leaving the network. Then what will happen to Void?

Bhai they have started capping the speeds to 30Mbps which was 180Mbps(1+3+8). It happened in the past as well. But they did revert it back to 100Mbps in 2021 from 40Mbps immediately. But that time I stayed on Jio as I was primarily going to shift to 5G. But 5G never came at my spot in a year and I kept using 4G at reduced speeds before I moved to primary to Vi by testing another sim and speeds were not capped. I don't know what it is, but hopefully within a month, it should be sorted out before my monthly expiry. Planning to shift to Airtel which is not that great, but at my location it gives 150Mbps max on 45Mhz (15+15+15) bandwidth(3+40C). Jio 4G has been horrible and Airtel 5G has been horrible. So will avoid using both.

It's just not me, here there are 550 families staying and there are four towers with Vi 4G(no 5G yet). Everyone is pissed off and has been long lasting postpaid customer of Vodafone even before merger. Even after Airtel stregthen their network after addition of 10Mhz of band 40, people stayed with Vi. Now they are not getting enough value, even though customer service is top notch. Better than Airtel. Airtel even came with Airtel FTTH, these people have thrown them out of society and running local FTTH who is offering 500Mbps at 999 if taken at 6 months advanced payments. Who will get that FTTH sh#t. Nobody.

After all this why can't Vi and BSNL use each other's resources and fix all their shortcomings. Thus it'll benefit both of them as well as for consumers. Tired of current duopoly. Vi and BSNL should step up their game. Vi should continue targeting premium user and services while BSNL with affordable categories. It is even more good if they merge, so they can combined give solid competition to current duopoly.

Pune(NSA-DSS band 41 20Mhz block)

BS as usual no proof

but this body is expanding at speed of 5G day by day, will reach your door soon in delhi

Delhi deployment already started.

With a 48.99% stake in Vi, the government should consider offloading its PSU burden by merging MTNL with Vi, effectively privatizing it first. This approach could help circumvent the challenges faced in the MTNL-BSNL merger.

If Vi remains sustainable, it would resolve the MTNL issue.

Otherwise, a gradual absorption of Vi into BSNL should be the next strategic move.

It's B41+N78. NSA requires LTE as anchor

Ok sir. Whatever screenshot you shared, what's the anchor band? Band 1 or band 3?

Mumbai is well covered everywhere. Atleast railway lines. Max speeds 283Mbps at Sion Bus depot(Speeds ranging from 150-350 Mbps, this sion speedtest gone to 350 and getting back to 283, not sure Ghatkopar or sion). Residential areas are not covered(My sources say that will be covered by the end of May, not sure whether they are successful or not).

Hoping to see 5G coverage in four circles till May.

Have Vi disabled 4G CA on band 41 everywhere in India? 1-3-41/1-3-8-41 is disabled everywhere in Powai and Airoli. Atleast G85 wasn't showing. Does Moto Edge 50 Fusion and Moto Edge 50 Pro support this combo?
