internet connection-reliance forced to upgrade to 4g

[natjay]

Commercial launch of Reliance 4G is expected only by September (Source)

Till last week, I was seeing the notifications on my 4G phone change between H and H+ on the network icon, signifying 3G and 3G+ respectively. This week onwards, I'm seeing a consistent H+ so it's only a matter of time.

Think of the network now as beta phase. But the future of Rcom/RJio looks promising.

I'm still to get my 4G WiPod situation rectified... Curiously, the guys at the gallery said that I need a 4G sim card for the 4G WiPod to work (even though I'm straight migrating from Netconnect CDMA to this WiPod device). At another gallery, they said no sim required, so it's adding to the confusion.

Once this gets convincingly resolved, I'll be able to comment about speed and reliability.

Those who are still on the fence regarding 4G migration, I recommend you get the LYF smartphone that comes with its own RJIO sim and 4G internet (no invite required). The 4G SIM cards come with three months of free unlimited data and 4500 minutes of voice calls.

Speed test in Mumbai while connected to a Reliance WiFi hotspot.

One more speed test while connected through an open unlocked dongle (direct Reliance 3G/4G, not a WiFi hotspot). As you can see, the speeds through the open dongle are better than on WiFi. Even the ping is better.

Some news for Rcom customers

Wasn't there some news that Rcom will transfer the customers in 12 circles to Jio ??

Rs 93 for 10GB is quite enticing depending on how long this offer lasts. Decidedly they want to get more customers in their fold so that they have a realistic chance if an "OK Corral" kind of situation emerges in the 4G telecom space.

Anyway, I got this mesage from Reliance yesterday:

"Launching 4G LTE services in next few days. Keep your 4G Smart Phones and WiPod ready, and standby for the next update. RCOM"

RCom to provide 4G on Reliance Jio network at Rs 93 per 10 GB
