Airtel 5G Plus

Airtel 5G has started working here in Mohali, PB since a week or so. Not sure if airtel has made it official. The coverage is there in the main commercial areas, and residential coverage is patchy.

I blew through 3GB data in a single speed test, and got about 700mbps indoors. It was kind of mind-blowing to see. Then my mind collected itself and imploded again when I realised that I have no real life use for those kind of speeds. I barely saturate even my 200mbps fibre connection.
 
The aim of 5G at present is to be able to support the larger population densities in cities around the world - something which has increased exponentially. Even though 5G was marketed to give gigabit connectivity to everyone, I feel the best case scenario would be that large population densities would be able to enjoy the level of service that they're used to with 4G, but which 4G itself won't be able to support.
 
I still hope 5G speeds are acceptable after 2-3 years once more users jump onto this bandwagon. Offcourse, without draining the mobile battery.
Given the battery use, I think 5000msh will become a standard to ensure your phone lasts for a full day on 5G.

“We're seeing the fastest rollout ever in the history of the world. Airtel is already covering 400 towns and we're adding about 30 to 40 cities or towns every single day. By June, which is just three months away, we will be in 4000 cities,”

Hilarious that they say chandigarh city but in reality its just two towers which are 5g enabled lol.

jio 5g on other hand is working in whole chandigarh
 
I tried at 5 different locations in Kolkata. Could not detect any 5G signals. May be they have just erected one tower somewhere and started claiming that Kolkata is now covered.
 
With airtel's fake 5g I get around 5 to 10 mbps max. I don't understand why they call it as 5g even though my phone says it is connected to lte 15 mhz of b1 .
