The video mentioned "does not degrade the general internet quality." However, what is the baseline for this to be considered deteriorated? Like, minimum BW, or minimum latency?

Overall, the thing that Airtel is doing... I'd say it is genius.
 
as per the video, TRAI guidelines dont allow telecos to give special priority than prepaid customers so what airtel is supposedly doing would be a violation.

but then i dont understand ,even with all of this why is Airtel 5G so poor in Mumbai.
 
Because what they effectively do is give priority without providing priority. It's kind of an undefined grey area.
The service is poor due to shit coverage and density.
 
give priority without providing priority
Lmao XD ,and Airtel had the courage to say this about 5G since 2022

Airtel SA 5g is turning into disaster atleast in Hyderabad. Speeds are fluctuating alot and average speed is 10-15 mbps. Upload is also 5-10 mbps.

Though ping remains constant of 10-15 ms idle.

When SA is not available then speeds on NSA is 500mbps and upload of 90mbps with idle ping of 40-50 ms
 
Airtel 5G SA experience update:
Went from Andheri West to Vashi today

And throughout the day my Phone was on 5G SA instead of 5G SA+NSA

I did notice some improvement in battery drain but its too early to judge it as it could be just a placebo

Speeds were great (felt better than usual) sometimes around 50mbps in heavy traffic ares to reaching 400mbps even while indoor and away from windows (the place didnt have small cell)

Now even at home it constantly stays at 5G SA

yeah now i can finally toggle SA in mumbai seems like i wasnt chosen for the pilot. btw did they renegotiate the Apple music terms before they only gave 6 months of free usage seems like now they dont mention the limit? in my airtel app it still shows exhausted
