      It's too expensive right now. Once Jio comes up with something similar at a lower price, Airtel will have to lower its prices.

          5G CPE is the great way to solve the "last mile"

            K , 19 Jul 2023I clicked on your screen name and saw your comment history.... moreI am more Indian than you fake deshbhakts lots. I am just woke, I am a realist. My eyes are wide open. And the more I see more I am ashamed to be an Indian. Wake up when theres still time. Let go of that delusion. But wait, it has not happened in 75 years, and people like you will never let it happen anyway. Just remember, people like you is why Indian is a third world and going to remain so for the foreseeable future.

              And as I suspect you may not be aware of what a Citrix server is, let me explain to you in layman terms - my house has 3 4k TVs and 4 phones . You can run streaming on all of these without any lag or buffering. So much so that we barely even use DTH (satellite TV) anymore.

              Hope that answers you.

Looks like you say negative stuff about india just for the sake of saying it. It seems you are not indian. So how can you say indian fixed broad band is beyond garbage.

                    Whatever propaganda you have been fed about india, come out of it. Read independent verified neutral sources of india and your country too. Not news sources from your country or from india either. (Don't come to an opinion just by reading or listening to one side of the story aboutany countrynot just india). Read news stories from these sources too and you will have wn accurate picture about your country and india.

                                  Point #5 could be a rogue device on the home network. Maybe a PC or phone with malware.

                                        Anonymous, 18 Jul 2023Sure, I would be interested to hear. Do elaborate, for ever... more1) Not all but for some people (I believe it's near to one third) airtel resets the data plan at 11:30 pm, not at 12 midnight. So any data used in that half hour (11:30 to 0:00) is counted in the next day. If you don't believe me you can google this issue, you will get countless number of people complaining about this.

                                        2) This happened with me frequently. After using only 1/4 to 1/3 data of daily quota, you get message as 50 percent data is used. This is the sole reason I ported to jio.

                                        3) If you recharge with add-on pack (for example like 2gb), when you have used only 30-40 percent, you get a message that 90 percent data is used.

                                        4) Airtel make people fool on upcoming pack also. Consider if you recharge your airtel sim before earlier plan expiry (like 2 or 3 days before), the new plan start from the time of recharge instead of after earlier plan expiry. And airtel show that they have upcoming plan scheme, which is actually fooling customers.

                                        5) My brother had airtel WiFi machine for some office work, but after 3 months it started using data at unprecedented rate. We changed it with BSNL fibre line.

                                        If you don't believe what I have written here, you can do your own research and find the truth.
