My experience with BSNL 4G after porting from Jio

[saketk11]

this week,

most places including railway route where LTE was working smoothly was showing 3G network.

3G network is almost non usable even for UPI paymnet

It seems some optimization is going on in Maharashtra and gujrat for lauch of 4G service.
Its good that I choose Rs750 plan (rs735 from bsnl app after discount) and dont much rely on BSNL network.

I hope this week BSNL will provide something for ESIM

I'm counting down days to port out from BSNL to VI or Jio..

Everything is just on paper. Nothing on reality, especially in Karnataka.

1. Network coverage issue
2. Call drops
3. Calls connecting to wrong people
4. Not reliable on Google maps due to network issue
5. Emergency mode and missing important calls
6. 2 bar signal doesn't connect to internet and gets frequent timeout issue
7. Speed never goes beyond 17Mbps with full strength signal whether it's 2100 or 700Mhz.
8. Draining battery too much due to poor network
9. Ping time is too much
10. Network is not available in many villages. Its a waste sim who frequently travels to their relatives home in rural.

Moreover worst customer support team. If i had rights being tax payer, i would have fired them and replaced with talented people.
They just close the issue without addressing anything. No use of raising complaint in pgportal too..

Till complete official rollout and full optimization using BSNL as primary sim isn't a good decision. Till year end one must wait to get proper working of BSNL 4G

VoWIFI is still not available
ESIM option not available

Choosing BSNL after 15 years is worst decision in my life. System is still stuck at same situation, no competition.

Secondly this month bsnl running campain to get user feed back

register your feedback with /without bsnl number for ESIM and VOWIFI

Have raised it.. But no hopes.. Since they are doing govt. job without competency.

They might close the issue without addressing it by transferring the issue to other department.

Due to poor network and frequent switching between 2g vs 3g vs 4g 700Mhz vs 4g 2100Mhz of BSNL, its draining battery a lot.
I need to make sure to keep phone in a good connectivity place, else in the morning, phone will be dead.

Worst service by BSNL, and days are counting to port out

Not to be "victim blaming" here but when you ported in to BSNL , did you really expect it to be a functional data network? I use BSNL but it's forever kept on a 2G only mode and then too it loses coverage in many many parts of Hyderabad so I can imagine what the data situation will be like.

Yes, checked the signal coverage i would get at my place before opting for bsnl.

The problem is signals are not optimized and keeps switching. Within just a half feet distance, signal strength fluctuates with ~ -10dB, hence the issue.

1. 3G should be shut and must be used for 4g/5g service.
2. Currently it has only 10MHZ in 700Mhz & 5MHZ in 2100Mhz. This needs to be increased more and ping time should be addresses definitely even in good network.
3. OTP never comes on time
