[MadAxe]

What are the max speeds you guys are getting on Airtel?
None of you are getting CA?

In kerala they have disabled ca everywhere atleast in my current home location I can see 2 ca very rarely.but most of the time it's just b3 only. The speeds are getting worser than jio even within tower site maximum I get is 20 to 30 mbps mostly it will be 10mbps range . Only thing airtel Is stable is with their promotion like pushing sms calling and all sorts of things to make us recharge.

I get minimum 10-20 mbit on TP-Link MR600 in 3+40 configuration. Maximum I have seen was 102mbit on the same set of bands. Airtel CA is the only one that's working for me. No CA here on Jio or Vi. :/ Although I will get the Vi sim replaced soon so maybe that'll fix the problem with CA on Vi. I tried asking Vi's Customer support execs but none of them have any clue about CA.

@ishanjain28 Are you getting CA on any band on your handset?

 

[ishanjain28]

@MadAxe Yes, I have Poco F1. On airtel, It latches on to 3+40 automatically and easily. With Network signal guru, I can also have it latch on to 1+3 or 5+40 configurations.

On Jio, I have seen 3+40 but that's quite rare. On Vi, I have not seen any CA happening on the phone.

In tamil nadu, CA is available everywhere, VI also has CA but their spectrum is only 20 mhz on all bands so it is of no use, the max speed i get on airtel's 40+40 CA is around 120 mbps down 10 up. VI has capped speeds in TN to 25 mbps it seems

@ishanjain28 On poco F1 you cannot get CA on Vi network as Vi uses band 41 and there is no CA configuration in poco f1 for that.
You will also get band 41 signal only on the roof or very near the tower as its penetration is horrible.

@Nithishsaba Don't underestimate 20Mhz BW. 3+1 CA in Chennai. This is Idea sim

 

[RKhan21]

Also Yes Vodafone sim is capped and throttled badly. U can see this Vodafone Prepaid vs Idea Prepaid

@Nithishsaba Don't underestimate 20Mhz BW. 3+1 CA in Chennai. This is Idea sim

Whoa!!!!, Great speeds in idea, But sadly Vodafone is capped at 25 mbps, but they have 4*4 MIMO and 256QAM enabled... but it is of no use..
anyone know where i could buy an idea simcard??

 

[RKhan21]

@Nithishsaba They don't have 4x4 Mimo anywhere in Chennai but 10+10Mhz with 256Qam

 

[RKhan21]

@Nithishsaba Idea sim is not available anywhere but somehow I got it from a known shop. Only they had a new Idea sim.

 

[Lucifer96]

Has the network intergation between vodafone and idea has fully completed? @RKhan21

 

[RKhan21]

@Luifer No not everywhere in some places it's still not integrated

 

[RKhan21]

AMBR of New Idea sim.
