Currently I am in Goa for the last one month. I have Pre-paid 3G of Airtel. It didn’t work that great in Hyderabad and it DOESN’T work at all in GOA.
I visited different parts of Goa(within a radius of approx. 30 km from PANJIM City). AIRTEL 3G doesn’t work at ALL/MOST of the places.
Airtel 3G barely works / appear near Casino areas in Panjim city and few other spots. I mostly stay in Dona Paula and AIRTEL connection is REALLY REALLY bad here. No 3G at all. And this is important and populated area, I’m talking about.
Initially I thought that it might be some issue with my handset. But it was same on my wifes Applie 6s also.
AIRTEL claims to have 3G all around Goa. I can barely feel / get it. Moreover I feel cheated because every time I pay for 3G data and don’t get it and I suffer on account of non-availability of proper connectivity.
A company(AIRTEL) which has not even been able to implement a 8 year old technology(3G) properly in major places like GOA urban, I really doubt that it can deliver on its so called 4G promise! Maybe all this is just advertising gimmick and people who take 4G will suffer or they will have to keep stuck at some particular place just to be able to use 4G.
So guys, my advice: Don’t fall for the AIRTEL pretty lil face promoting 4G. Wait or at least try other operators particularly in areas where you’ll mostly use that. Can’t trust Airtel blindly.
