I am on 699 Postpaid plan for last 1 year. In Airtel App, plan name is updated to Priority Postpaid, but network name is still showing as Airtel (on Samsung mobile)
Which handset displays network name as Airtel Priority?

speed is more or less the same as earlier like 300-500 mbps down and 50-100 mbps upload.
