2G speedtest with Vi sim. Share yours if you're using Airtel or any other with 2G network. Few years ago this speed was fine.

Look at those loaded latencies 🤔
Even the initial latency & jitter.

What... At my area there's even Reliance 4G radio. Wow. Share yours 😁

Great to see you still have 2G in your area... Most sites at my place have converted to 4G, barring MTNL.

@havoc , even I see Reliance 4G in my area since 2016 not able to connect to it with Jio SIM also so not sure who is able to use it.

There's a reliance mini tower around 800 metres away from our home. Maybe that is giving up this radio. It's quite old. Maybe Jio was too lazy to refarm it to it's own. Who knows 😂

Network goes off if I select Prefer 3G.

Dolphin is mtnl.

Not like airtel's 4g service is any better so whatever.

 

[havoc]

Wow really "Dolphin" 😂🤣
Such a cute name for MTNL 😁

The 4G speeds are at peak hours right?
I think at normal time they are Better.

Airtel's seems to have gone crappy in Mumbai.

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

Airtel is crap here everywhere I go regardless of time or peak hours.
The speed test is at 11.40 pm, one won't consider that a peak time.
Peak hour ie. 7-9 pm speeds are like 2-4Mbps.

What about Vi? I've read they're doing well in terms of subscriber growth and service in Mumbai & Delhi region. Have any of you guys tested it?

Both at off peak hours, with 2CA.

Wow 😲

Even in Kolkata Vi rocks 🤗

 

[Tejas01]

On home network, Airtel's been crap for me. But at my work place, it is good. I get some good speeds, clearly showing how network congestion can beat whatever "G" you are on.

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

Surely 1 AM isn't a peak time right...right?

Feels like they are just messing with me at this point.
