Jio vs Airtel vs Vi - LTE/4G Speed Comparison !

After the amalgamation of Vodafone India and Idea Telecom, a new brand identity emerged in the Indian telecom scenario - Vi (pronounced as we). However analysts believe the new company, though incumbent in terms of operation is way far behind the top two - Jio and Airtel. 

But that does not mean Vi is not offering good services, they are changing their core strategy as per the market needs. Well the change is inevitable, and in the COVID situation it demands more innovation. Moreover globally big telecom players are repositioning them as a digital platform along with good digital services as backbone. 

Vi is not an exception. They are promoting their 4G services as GIGAnet, and many circles they are promoting their 4G services as 'India's fastest 4G'. Well that's not a completely wrong, as Vi 4G network is quite underutilized compared to Jio and Airtel, as Vi lost huge number of subscribers. 

Few days back I did a speedtest comparison between Jio, Airtel and Vi at very early morning - when networks might have less users. 

From the above screenshot you can easily see that Vi offers fastest 4G in my area, while Airtel comes second and Jio seems to be slowest among them. 

Well that was done in a place which can be considered as outdoor. But whenever I go indoor - especially in older buildings with thick walls the situation changes. Jio's LTE850 comes very handy - while Airtel and Vi's LTE on 900MHz/1800MHz do not work smooth. Calls are failed, voices are being cracked, and internet shifts 2G/GSM to LTE to and fro - means no stable internet and very slow data transfer. Otherwise all are same in the quality of services. 

Conclusion: Try all operators in your area and take the best one.
