YT already uses a comparable codec called VP9.
The reason h.265 isn't everywhere is because it is not free to use and requires royalty to be paid to MPEG LA compared to VP9 which is free. Also, there is a successor to VP9 coming soon called AV1 codec and it is again going to bring large improvements over VP9/ h265.

I checked some sources about this AV1 codec it's having heavy usage of processing power during encoding and decoding, much higher than h.265. With almost 30% better compression.
Even h. 264 has royalties as far as I have read (maybe I'm wrong).
I really wish h265 is open codec.
Cuz Google had to go through lot of work around to make it get around h 265 codec without having INFRINGEMENT With the same . I guess the codec is developed (not sure) but might be waiting for people to have much more better chip for encoding and decoding purpose.

The use case scenario is tremendous to be honest..

I can stream a 720p (not 720p60) video without buffering if I don't skip forward with a 2mbps conn. Imagine if I could do the same with 1080p, or 2k(might be an exaggeration😜, but who knows) . All those space saved in storage. 🤯🤯 And bandwidth.

A video describing the same.

So, if 199 is an add on plan then instead of taking Gold plan which costs 1533 and gives 750gb I can take Silver plan which gives 400 gb. Use 400gb for 2 weeks. Next 2 weeks do 199 recharge twice which gives 2000gb. Cost for this will come at - 1003+235+235 = 1473. So still cheaper than Gold plan and I can use 2400gb rather than 750 gb. What do you guys think about this ?

From your perspective makes sense but under 1K payers won't find that feasible. Airtel's 799 plan + 299 unlimited addon should about 1296 which seems more practical compared to present jio plans.

I guess the reason why three of us are still continuing with the preview plans because we kept on recharging and queuing up plans a week or even before the expiry of the current plan. I have 3 upcoming plans in the que and the current one would expire on 5th Jan. The backend team needs to remove those plans in the que and force us to continue till the expiry of the current plan for the server to be able to migrate us to paid plans. I don't have a specific timeline but as a general thumb rule, all existing customers having no plans in que and within 10-15 days of the expiration of the current plan are being migrated to paid plans.

May be. I too have 3 100 GB plans queued up.

In this scenario, you will get 400Gb for 2 weeks and 2000Gb for the other 2 weeks. Unless you have some specific large download needs that can be performed in specific 2 weeks each month, this kind of arrangement is not great. You will have to be cautious for 2 weeks and then splurge the other 2 weeks.
 
Airtel FTTH has 100 Mbps as minimum and 1Gbps as highest.

Airtel does provide 8 Mbps to 100 Mbps on V-Fiber. (But they have stopped providing 100 Mbps on V-Fiber because of complaints so maximum speed they now provide is 40 Mbps only)

Airtel FTTH is 1:1

Airtel V-Fiber has only 8 Mbps as the upload speed (regardless of what you have as download where minimum download is 8Mbps).
