Vi Stops Offering 100 SMS /Day In Combo Prepaid Plans

Yeah like literally every single thing since 2016. I still don't get why having preferential priority and speeds for differential pricing is not accepted in this country. What's the point of this sort of communal pricing if speeds suck for everyone and no operator can or will invest more capital to improve infrastructure.

Spectrum is purchased/leased by the telecoms. They have the right to use it in ways to make money and profits. LTE is not supposed to be contention based access like communal wifi. It's feature rich enough to support different modulation, priorities, QoS, for every single device accessing it.
Jio has invested a lot into their feature phones, which can't really be called premium revenue, so they don't want anyone else being known as a premium network and implementing a concept widely accepted in most other countries. TRAI, just like most other central agencies, has bent over backwards to be dictated by a few.

Exactly! Other operators want to offer more speed to customers who pay more, and Jio got its knickers in a bunch. But, they themselves offer Fiber plans with more speeds for customers with more to pay per month.

Airtel and Vi were only trying to guarantee an experience, and we all know Jio can not guarantee an experience because Ambanis are traditionally volume players in the country when it comes to these things. 1 Rupee to everyone even if everyone remains hungry, instead of 15 Rupees to some and satiate their hunger.
