In india we r getting 3g speed on 4g network. 😂 in some area scenario is more worst thn this. In some area im getting not more thn 100obps downloading speed on 4G network😂

    Anonymous, 03 Aug 2022Why would they offer mmwave when most people buy redmi note... moreBecause they bough rights for 20 years? In 2 or 3 years even midrange and lowend will have it.

      Anonymous, 03 Aug 2022Our defention of fast is “barely faster than 4G”, let'... moreFor me 5G advantage is Ping, if you get single digit ms then i can see lot of competitive gamers adopt it even if speed is lower than LTE.

          How about they ensure proper 4G connectivity everywhere before jumping on to 5G.

              The Tech Man, 03 Aug 2022Am from Trivandrum (Kerala) and am working in Coimbatore (T... moreWell, it's pretty obvious. Airtel is an almost empty network in both areas whereas Jio is packed with users. The added spectrum in n78 will be great for Jio as all the heavy 4G data users will be offloaded on to 5G. Next year's auctions, there'll be added spectrum in n78, possibly say another 300MHz available for the telcos, that Jio could get another 100MHz chunk taking the total to 200MHz, thus giving around 2Gbps across the country. Airtel will definitely be unable to compete and Jio's 5G speed won't be slow any more.

                Anonymous, 03 Aug 2022Only 700mhz and some sub 3.5ghz network, zero mm wave......... moreWhy would they offer mmwave when most people buy redmi note (99% of them lack mmwave)?

In both place, Airtel is fast and stable than jio. Jio is very slow in evening. As a Airtel and Jio User,i can tell Airtel is far better than Jio.

                    Lol I thought Jio would be the first to come on GSMArena regarding their 5G services, but instead we have some crap from ARPUtel! Not surprising. Guess advertising their networks requires all those high ARPUs from the customers!

                    Please bois, give your manies to ARPUtel! They need 1k ARPU by 2025!

                        Never heard of Airtel and since India is the most populated country in the world good luck with 5G networking there.
                        They should ask Huawei for having 5G networks done.
                        But lets try and see.

                              I don't believe 5G works in inside building.
