Prepaid vs Postpaid speed. Which is faster? - Airtel

Thinking about Airtel prepaid vs postpaid speed and how to get more of it? Read this blog to get more clarity on mobile data internet speeds.

Saw this Airtel blog published on March 16 2023 where Airtel openly admits they prioritize postpaid users while network is busy. Is this actually true or another scam from Airtel to move prepaid users to postpaid?

But this is what they say:

Postpaid plans also have a built-in throttling limit. But for postpaid, the limit is much higher than prepaid connection. Therefore, it is not the speed which is slower in prepaid connection, but the lower throttling limit which leads to slower connection.

So the threshold for prepaid is lower than postpaid. In other words pay more to get better service. Can't see anything wrong with that. I opted for Airtel Black in that belief.
