Data speed in India is considered lowest among most of the top 10 economies. We even consider 1 Mbps or 2 Mbps as a high speed connection aka broadband. Because of the infrastructure limitations we have reduced our aspirations as well. But enough is enough now its time for switch in gears.
Recently, Airtel launched 4G service in India, first telecom network provider to do so. I have been an Airtel customer from long with Airtel Mobile Postpaid, Internet, Landline, Digital TV and Airtel Money. For any user to start using 4G services, user needs the below three things
- 4G Device
- 4G SIM
- 4G Plan
To make it even simpler, you just need to input your airtel mobile in the Airtel 4G website, to check if 4G ready. Based on your check, if you don't have a 4G device, you can buy one, e.g. say Moto 3 gen or any other device of your choice.
Most of us will probably not have a 4G SIM. So if you are an Airtel customer with a 4G capable device, Airtel offers a free upgrade from 3G to 4G. Getting a 4G sim is easier than ever before. Just tweet using #GetAirtel4G to get a 4G SIM delivered to your home for free, Once you tweet you will get a reply from @AirtelIndia twitter handle directing you to a link where you can enter your details for 4G SIM delivery.
Isn't it amazing that one can just upgrade from 3G to 4G for free and get a 4G SIM delivered at home real fast that too for free. Now no more waiting for song or movie downloads or picture uploads.
One can get speed as high as 42 Mbps. Just imagine now we can download movies in less than 3 minutes. If we are streaming a movie we don't need to wait/stop in between because of slow data connection. Songs can be downloaded in just 1 seconds.
Well I'm moving to Airtel 4G as soon as my Moto G 3rd Gen is getting delivered to me. When are you moving?
