Vi 5G in Brigade Road, Bengaluru

Got to do more tests on Vi MEGAnet 5G today on their only 5G tower in Karnataka. (Yes, only one tower in entire circle, at the time of writing.)

Last week, I went back to Dairy Circle in Bangalore, where Vi 5G speed test was done (Nov 2024).
Now at the same spot there is no 5G signal at all.
Have they removed the 5G Equipment from there and installed it on tower in Brigade Road?

When is the official rollout of VI 5g in Bangalore?

Yes, they might be; they install 5G equipment from one tower to another every hour. As per the ad, every hour, install 100 new towers. It's a pure gimmick to attract investors

Conclusion
In conclusion, Vi's campaign likely started on November 22, 2024, with a focus on adding 100 towers every hour, and approximately 3,753 hours have passed by April 26, 2025, at 08:47 AM IST. Theoretically, at the stated rate, Vi should have installed about 375,278 towers, accounting for the continuous rate over the elapsed time. This analysis addresses the user's query comprehensively, acknowledging the potential for misunderstanding in the tower addition rate while relying on verified campaign details.

This was Ai’s calculation on Vi’s ad campaign

Your sim isn't provisioned for 5G so you won't get it. I have Idea TN and Vodafone Mumbai sim and 5G only works on VF Mumbai sim where 5G is already live
