Now Majority of the Port Outs will not be based on the pricing but the quality and coverage of the network and the quality of service
Jio has most coverage for VOLTE and 4G with indoor connectivity(band 5), but poor net speeds in high population areas.
And also in remote places where there is no 4G tower present, Jio is as good as dead as Jio can't fallback to 2G/3G like AirTel or Vodafone can...
In Agency areas of Andhra Pradesh, BSNL only works well, all private telcos were dead. so, never expect 4G network in remote areas.
AirTel works for me in every corner of the country & I have visited many remote places like high hill stations & jungles etc...I am not talking about using 4G data in remote places...I am talking about basic call connectivity that's why I said that, AirTel & Vodafone can still give connectivity by doing an automatic fallback to 2G/3G but Jio can't do that & we can't even receive incoming calls on Jio where there is no 4G tower...
Yes Right BSNL doing much better than other operators specially in remote area where jio speed is literally 2G during peak hours
Even I agree if we leave the 4G VoLTE services aside, Airtel has the best network coverage & that is why they are keeping 2G services alive for calling purposes while shutting down 3G.
But Airtel fails for indoor 2G/Voice coverage in villages, bcoz they uses 1800 mhz and BSNL reaches every corner in indoors with 900 mhz in AP.
People say that BSNL should be shut down as it is a den of corruption and inefficiency. It is true that BSNL is often plagued by corruption and other high to low level malpractices but does it mean we need to shut down the state telecom company which at times played vital role in price control and a support for poor people.
Agreed..thats an advantage with BSNL , but Airtel overall has good coverage with good 4G speeds and wide 2G coverage while currently BSNL lags on 4G front.
