Vodafone Idea offers speed as a key differentiator to lift ARPU via RedX plan

most mobile consumers survive on <5 Mbps on 4g enough for youtube, whatsapp, tiktok stuff they won't notice.

And TRAI is a silent spectator in all this

Wait for Jio to complain though I don't see anything wrong with it.

This is a norm in the countries like UK.
TSPs even disable hotpsot feature for certain plans.

No it is helping jio by acting neutral and bringing consultation paper when needed.
Soon we'll see minimum plans recommended by TRAI like in DTH/cable which Jio would be forced to offer.
All this after Jio gains top spot in mkt share.

there should be a rule for minimum guaranteed speed on 4g of 10 mbps

A lot of practices abroad are not allowed here. For example in some countries in the 90's a call to a number of a different operator would cost more but was not allowed here though both operators then wanted it.

They lost lots of postpaid customers due to network integration issues. To get them back this kind of strategy is used. Looks like they will throttle speeds in prepaid connections such a stupid move.

Airtel is throttling speeds of Post paid connection in Chennai. I did a speed test in prepaid sim and got 90Mbps and with post paid sim I just got 18 Mbps.

Did you do the test on two different phones? I might be wrong, but even if Airtel starts throttling speeds, they’d throttle on prepaid. Most definitely they wouldn’t do that for Postpaid users.

If both are in different phones then check the LTE band
