Technology slum india.
If you don’t like India then why live here? Your type of people can just criticise things for not being good and do nothing for the country. Have you seen the ground reality? do you know how much we are blessed with the lowest-cost data rates per GB? Still grabbers like you want much more for what you really pay.Shame.
Prove that you got true 3G speed when the data was sold upto Rs.300 per GB before jio.
I Can’t Prove It Because It Was Not.But when things are Improving day by day in Indian Internet Culture,Then you still have problems!I don’t says this type of things to anyone,but surely,you are a Pessimist.
