Jio's Slow Speed - Reason ?

Just yesterday I found out that Jio is using 10MHz of Band 40 to offer LTE data. (on JioFi2 device)

From the very begining Jio was offering 20MHz spectrum on this band (2.3GHz) along with 1800MHz and 850MHz band.

The reduction of 10MHz from band 2300MHz may cause slow speed on Jio LTE network.

However in Kolkata, where I took the screenshot, Jio has 30MHz of 2300MHz band. Is Jio using remaining 20MHz for LTE-Advanced or trials on 5G is on?

If I was in Mumbai I could have guess on 5G more specifically, but in Kolkata I am skeptical about it. Rather we can be on safe side - Jio is trialling for LTE-A in Kolkata.

JIO Effect - M&A Will Leave Just 5 Mobile Operators in India

If you see it correctly, Reliance Industries backed Jio had made a turbulence in the Indian telecom market. On the consumers' table Jio is playing by offering free data voice and digital services - which is actually disrupting the market by price game and service front. Jio continues to offer free services and extends it upto March 31, 2017 inspite of the complaints by the incumbents.

When we came to know about the existence of Jio, that's back in 2010 while Reliance Industries acquired pan India broadband spectrum winner Infotel Broadband (owned by Nahatas) just after the auction ended. RIL owned Infotel Broadband has gone through the makeover and it's now Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd, a platform to offer digital services including 4G/LTE voice, LTE data, mobile TV, online music and movies, news, fiber broadband and many more. The plethora of RJIL services are being now offered under simple branding of 'JIO'.

We all know these, but in 2010 Indian telecom market was exploding with 12-13 operators in each circles. However in 2012 February Supreme Court cancelled the licenses issued in 2008; as a result many operators shut their stores across the country or partially - STel, Cheers Mobile left the business. MTS India, Videocon, Tata Docomo stopped services in few circles, Loop did not renew licenses and was sold to Airtel. After 2012, India's telecom sector had handful of operators - Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, BSNL, MTNL, Reliance Communications, Reliance Jio, Tata Docomo, Aircel, Telenor, MTS India and Videocon. (last 4 operators did not have pan India spectrum)

From 2010 to 2015 - every year I had a talk with Tarun, the founder of Telecomtalk that 'yeh saal sayed Mukesh Jio 4G launch karega' but it did not happen. In February 2015 Jio brought Jionet WiFi at Kolkata and therefore Jionet WiFi was extending to other cities too. However after the Q1 of 2016 we were getting hints that Jio is now on its way to launch LTE to aam admi very soon.

Personal Experience to Handle Post-intoxication Hangover

If you started drinking alcohols in your teen days and if you are near 30 you can see the difference when you are much drunk. You can't take the over-drinking much these days and oh fuck! that's hangover.

I am 27 right now, and I had started my social drinking at around 19. These days I hate the hangover more.

One of the reason we are facing hangover more because of liver's making two specific enzymes in a lower rate.

Prevention is better than cure:

1. Drink on such a day, you can take rest on the next day.
2. Judicious drinking - I prefer 3 pegs and not more at a go.
3. Drink water in the gaps.
4. Slow the drinking process, take your time. Relax and drink.
5. Don't fucking mix up. One glass of cocktail or one type of cocktail is okay but don't have many types of alcohols. If you mix up beer, whiskey and rum you will be doomed.
6. Slow down alcohol absorption rate in your body by taking water as told already. Remember protein chunks like chicken, beef or pork portions also help by slowing down it. So little bit oily starters do actually help to 'digest' alcohol.


Once you are fucked to have hangover:

1. Rest and take sleep if possible. It's often not possible as you have jobs to do.

2. Water, water and water: Drink water, hydrate your body

3. Fruits or juices: Go for a coconut water at the beginning. Among fruits - orange, mushambi, apple, bananas are great. If you want something refreshing mocktail - get coconut water, a dash of honey and fresh lemon juice - it hits with electrolytes, vitamin C and sugar instantly. 

4. Breakfast - skip or not, it's your choice - I in generally skip it but go for bunch at 11 am around with more fruits, chickens and others.

5. Proteins - Eggs - boiled/omelette or chicken soup can help.

6. Tea - herbal or green tea. I am not a tea lover, but I can tell you one secret - don't go for a coffee - it will further dehydrate you. Next don't drink a tea with milk - it might increase bloating and gastric upset. ( but cold milk is good in hangover unless you have lactose tolerance issue).

7. PPI - Hangover can be worsened with the gastric upset, so PPI can be a help. However I always use the combination of PPI+PKA (Proton pump inhibitors + Prokinetic Agents) in combination. Rabeprazole/Esomeprazole and Domperidon's combo seems to be best option.

❂ I am updating this post almost after 10 years - as these products are available for last 3-4 years - Anti-Hangover Tablets/Capsules/Sachet/Drink. 

For eg, Fast&Up Nightout Effervescent Tablet - it is loaded with Vit B complex, taurine, creatine, Vit C, different electrolytes and others - take 2 tab in 1 glass of water as last drink or first drink of morning. I tried it and it really worked. It costs Rs 330 approx for 10 such Eff tab and can be ordered over BlinkIt, Zepto etc. 

There are other options too. 

Himalaya PartySmart (5 Ayurvedic Capsules cost Rs 100 approx.) - Take 1 capsule with water 30 to 45 minutes before your first drink.

LIVitup Ayurvedic Hangover Shield Capsules (6 Ayurvedic capsules cost Rs 85 approx.) - take 2 cap 30-45 minutes before the first drink. 

Morning Fresh Hangover Fix - https://drinkmorningfresh.com They recommend 1 bottle/sachet as the last drink but I doubt if I take it as the last drink of the night as I am already high! 

PartyDetox Tablets - https://www.miduty.in/products/partydetox-recovery-tablets Dose - take 1 tablet 30 minutes before the first drink. Costs 5 Tab at Rs 199. 

❂ Next, Be Sober, Drink SOBER !! - Ok let me introduce SOBER as the country's first line of non-alcoholic spirits, wines, and cocktails. Backed by Diageo, their zero-proof spirits mimic the flavor and ritual of traditional drinks but feature 0% ABV, 0 sugar, and 0 calories. It has Whiskey, Rum, Classic Gin, Pink Gin, Red Wine, White Wine, Sparkling Wine options as of now. Check out: https://drinksober.co/ 

❂ CALORIE: It is a concern for most people now - to control the calorie! To tackle that you need to take a light meal before you hit the pub/bar and the pick up the food with low to moderate calorie. Look at the posture below - Most regular alcohols are not loaded with huge calories - the calories are coming up from the mixer! 

I recommend Vodka/Gin, Ice and fresh Lemon/Lime juice +/- Soda & water.
