Hopefully they(Airtel) don't have selective deployment strategy like vi.

Ya but their backhaul will be bottle neck for this much spectrum, I hope they bought additional backhaul spectrum also

@Heyman or anyone.. Airtel has gone for B40 spectrum in Maharashtra. Does it mean Mumbai is a part of Maharashtra as a circle or both are independent meaning Mumbai gets no spectrum allocation whatsoever.

Postpaid customers are always priority for Airtel so at least they'll enjoy better downloads.

Well there's no information about Delhi circle, Mumbai circle from Airtel also on the other hand Jio has probably mentioned Delhi circle, Mumbai circle and Maharashtra circle separately.

anyone has any idea about the spectrum allocation for vi ,circle wise , i want to know have they boosted up here in kerala circle

 

[Heyman]

No information released yet from vi about the spectrum purchase.

@Heyman yeah but I'm really disappointed with Jio! The upload speeds on 20MHz FDD bands are phenomenal. You get a full 45-50Mbps upload on 20MHz of FDD spectrum. Let's see how the 10MHz b5 and 10MHz b3 works out for Jio.

Yes very true nothing can beat the uploads of fdd bands, i also to got 60 mbps uploads with vi on b3 20mhz,

A quote from the article
" They, though, said Airtel’s decision not renew 1800 Mhz spectrum in Mumbai, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Haryana – is “purely need-based” as it has adequate back-up airwaves in other bands in these circles."
