Airtel 4G LTE in Karnataka

[IndianMascot]

In its primer to the media, Airtel says that download speeds on its 4G networks can reach up to 40 mbps and uploads up to 20 mbps, on the move. However, the technical peak speed requirements for 4G service is 100 megabits per seconds (Mbps) for high mobility communication (that is while on the move in vehicles) and 1 gigabit per second (Gbits) for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users). These standards were prescribed by the the International Telecommunications Union-Radio communications sector (ITU-R) to bring some clarity to what exactly can be classified as 4G.



The Hindu : Cities / Bangalore : Will 4G help deliver the promise of the internet?


I just can't believe this. We are getting only 5 mbps on a 1Gbps TD-LTE Network :suicide:

They are just taking customers for a ride, when it is launched speeds are so low, imagine what will happen once user base increases. We will get 3G speed on 4G.
