My city is Rohtak. How do I know if they will come through LCO or directly give connection. In some cities in Haryana they're giving through LCO (Sonipat, Yamunanagar), in others they give directly (Panipat, Karnal, Ambala). Is there a way to find out how it will be in Rohtak?

Also, Jio fiber is available in my area directly without LCO, will airtel still come in this area (if they provide directly) or they generally target areas with no competition or only LCOs (most of which are pathetic)?

lol! but it will be really good if they give connections directly instead of partnering with some LCO.

I'm from Ranchi, Airtel BB status changed from launching soon to Invite us now and yet it has been an eternity 😓

Jio Fiber is available on other side of road but hasn't made it to my side since January this year, 8 months and counting.

Modi ji is announcing of laying OFC in 6000 villages, China just started laying it in area of conflict at LAC Leh & here I'm, amidst civilization, a capital city, waiting since last few years to have any half decent connection (BSNL doesn't counts)

I can feel you brother! I am in the same situation as you are , Jio fibre is available on the other side of the road but not to my side.
Waiting from last year.
No any other fibre connection in my area.
Location:Namkum,ranchi
Since i lost hope of fibre and switched to vodafone postpaid red max(though the ping is shit and routing too),the unlimited data is worth it.

Yup,though vodafone doesn't have VoLTE in jharkhand circle(supernet4g is also unavailable) but the 2TB 4g data/month is much better than any prepaid offerings at ₹699.
Although i recommend you to first check the signal strength at your area and then opt for it.
PS: Don't give a single rupee for your postpaid sim as its free(they were asking like beggers for ₹298 activation charge,though i slapped the website at the face 😂 and said add it to my monthly bill😂)

Woaaaah.... What's that red max plan ?!?
Available in Ranchi ? (U are from a very nearby area so I guess yes it is)

I've an idea prepaid lying with me and I've a good coverage at my place, guess it can be migrated ? Can you post some speedtest result & any approx idea of it usage in a month to understand the safe limit ?

Yes , Red max ₹699 plan.
Available in ranchi.
Don't port out your idea prepaid sim as idea gives VoLTE in jharkhand but vodafone doesn't,instead buy a new postpaid sim.
I get average 20/30 download/upload anytime although at morning it even much faster.
Data limit is like 2TB per month.

I'm not using that idea sim hence thought will migrate that.
I hope the speed that I get on idea should be a fair indicator of what I'll get on a Vodafone connection since they both latch on to same network, right ? I'm anyway on an airtel postpaid 499 on hotspot which I've to supplement with 30 to 50 GB data on Jio mobile connection 😓

They latch onto the same network but i can most certainly say that you won't get the same speed as idea.
Vodafone throttles the 4g speed for their so called redX users and doesn't have VoLTE whereas idea gives consistent speed without throttling and provides VOLTE (as jharkhand had idea 4g before merger), you can't buy idea postpaid hence the dilemma.

What's amazing is that upload speed is much better and consistent than my anticipation coz i never got any good upload speeds at my area on neither airtel nor jio.
Though VIL surely has some huge problems with something, can't open apkmirror website links and certains more links.
