@cooltexas60s changing APN din't helped me so I finally ported out to Airtel 😂

Basically Vodafone shutdown some cell sites antennas in my place to save running cost, I confirmed this with one tower installation guy who lives near me.

And in some villages they were less customer they shamelessly shutdown hole towers
 
@devangpatel but did you switch sim card to vodafone one as you told last time???

Was the tower installation guy from the competitor ???? Yes voda is taking steps like switching off towers to save cost but Lot of concentrated effort is going on to tarnish image of vodafone while it struggle with its operations. While some news is true about its health but some is also added by competition.

I would rather stay with one connection Jio rather than buy overpriced Airtel 499 Thakela useless plan as additional connection. Airtel is one trickster, Tickets remain open without resolution. Sweet talk is only till you are buying the connection after that they turn devils.. With Jio you pay less and expectations are also less in terms of fancy customer service. so i am happy. I get good signal from all except BSNL. but i feel Jio is best overall for me. Jio is also available in remotest villages or hill station when travelling in south. Airtel and vil cut corners here, vil even more.

ya I got my sim changed last week but still nothing helped. I was on peak anger when Vodafone was down on Wednesday and Thursday. I was not even able to make proper call. And people even texted that my number was not reachable. if by luck call get connected then it will drop in middle or the person on the call will get shattered noise.

And WhatsApp text message used to take time to get send so you can image what was the state.

Also I was not able to call customer care to register complaint since call used to get drop suddenly.

Now also the network is very un stable and suddenly no service or gets to 2G.


the tower guy works for tower maintenance company which have taken contract from Vodafone idea for my region, so he was not from competitor.
He told that Vodafone has directed them to close some cell tower antennas in the direction from tower where the user load was less. So by my luck I was getting 100+ mbps in mornings and 50+ in peak hours (before closing sites) since my direction from tower had less users so they shutdown that site.

Also before this was getting -80 dBm signal but now I get -110 dBm since I get signal from other side antenna.

Also I can confirm about village station since I used to get signal till march when I visited but last week when I went now I get no service, only BSNL is only which get signal there.

the only issue Airtel got is that I get -100 dBm which is weak as compared to Vodafone which I get ealier but its enough to make proper calls and also they got WiFi calling which works good.
