The biggest push Jio had was it's non ending funding and overflowing cash in their parent company.

No operator is great in each area across the country. Vi is good in many areas across the country and people are using it where network is good. You need to have CA device to use Vi at full throttle. Vi CA supported handsets are A52 4G/A52s 5G/S20 FE 5G/Mi10i/Realme X7 Max/Realme X2 Pro/Realme X50 Pro /Realme GT Master Edition/Realme GT/Moto G40 Fusion/Moto Edge 20/Moto Edge 20 Pro

Because every phone supports 40C. Thats what Jio and Airtel is giving currently. So you are getting CA on those devices. Vi has band 41 as TDD spectrum which is 20Mhz only. So CA is not possible on those bands. Whereever Jio and Airtel just had 20Mhz in band 40 before March, not a single phone supported CA in those phones. That time nobody complained. People complain about Vi only. I don't know why. For full interband CA, you need to purchase OnePlus and Samsung A52s/S20 FE 5G.
@TheAndroidFreak because those networks didnt require CA in the first place?

At my place, Vi gives 30-70Mbps throughout the day, on non-CA device like Poco M2 Pro and Realme X2(But band locked). Sometimes speeds goes upto 100Mbps late night. Airtel crawls at 10Mbps with 4G+ on. Jio works well but at peak times,it hardly works. It works only after 12AM,the way I want to. No VoLTE issues. No VoWifi issues. Somebody was getting poor connections on Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1(which don't have band 41 support) in Kolkata. Recently upgraded to Realme X7 Max and he was getting far better network as compared to his previous device and he immediately upgraded his postpaid plan to 699 unlimited. He sometimes roams in WB circle as well. No issues whatsoever on VoLTE/VoWifi/Speeds. Consistent 50Mbps speeds on just band 3. Forget about CA. Even in rural areas.
Yep even I was frustrated with Vi when they shut 3G in my area as their 4G used to give max 1 Mbps but then I got a datacard which supported band 41 and its giving 40Mbps now. So, yes they are good on certain bands but people don't have devices which support them or band locking is absent.
Vi really can't work well with budget phones since most of them don't support band 41. Also like many have mentioned, each area has a good and a bad operator. In my parents' place, nothing except Jio and BSNL work. Jio gives around 6-8 Mbps there.
In my house, barely 12kms from there, Jio sucks. Vi works upto 50Mbps, since my device doesn't support their band 41 and Airtel gives me 60-100Mbps with CA.
