Getting around 550 mbps down and 50-100 mbps up on my Airtel E-Sim. Getting a very good coverage of 5G signal across my house.
Device: iPhone 12 running on latest iOS 16.2 stable

@SVK Vi (and BSNL of course) has not started 5G services yet. Only Airtel and Jio. Vi will take time they don't have the finances to push into the 5G space just yet.

@Chip I know VI has not started, and might not start 5G until their financial situation resolves.
But I was thinking I should see 5G option in phone setting irrespective of SIM card inserted.

@SVK Not sure about that maybe you can ask Apple support because unless Apple pushes an update which carrier specific as it did with Jio and Airtel it may not show up. And there will likely be no update till such time Vi indicates to Apple it is ready to go live with 5G

What you can do is try a confirmed 5G Jio or Airtel sim in your phone and check if you see the toggle switch.

I am planning to port that VI Number to Jio soon. Will check after that.
