Does Airtel 5G perform better than Jio due to 300GB cap?

[Rhishav]

Mostly 979, tried 399 in between for Unlimited 4G/5G. 5G coverage is good so didn't really need Unlimited 4G as such.

It’s kinda feel it’s not worth paying for Airtel postpaid in mumbai

@Kyle Crane Airtel doesn't use Low band here yet. It's mostly B3+n78 and B3+B40+n78. n78 coverage itself is better in many places.

@Rhishav i guess it’s more about optimisation

I still wonder why Airtel performs so much worse for me

 

[Rhishav]

@Kyle Crane Paying for Postpaid doesn't have any additional benefit as such irrespective of operator. Prepaid is better. If you want to keep Airtel as backup then keep Prepaid and recharge as per need.

@Kyle Crane some areas can be weak for any network bhai. Your area might have more users than existing capacity, might need a few more towers which may or may not be under planning. It can be just bad. But if your experience across Mumbai is bad then that's something to think about although that is also quite possible.

@Rhishav me and my other IBF friend were talking about “prioritisation” in postpaid

Ik network priority isn’t a thing ever since TRAI stopped Vodafone giving priority to REDX customers

But still as a theory to see if Airtel postpaid performs better than Airtel prepaid

Since I had used Airtel prepaid as my main sim exactly a year back and the experience was horrible

@Rhishav that is there ,as where I live there is severe network congestion as it’s a very busy area

Airtel has very weak network coverage in my home too

Now yesterday when I went out in Mumbai ,I felt the network was way worse than Vi

Atleast in my experience
