That being said, this test did showcase the readiness of Airtel and, when 5G does get permission to have a public launch, the company will have something to offer, rather than just stating that it is going to launch it’s 5G on a particular date. Add to that the fact that government clearance is necessary for the rollout of 5G, it is but a distant dream as of today.
No, as we mentioned in our previous articles, this was nothing more than an announcement, with Bharti Airtel itself stating that it would prefer to use better spectrums so as to achieve full 5G speeds. To recall, back in 2021, Vodafone Idea stated that it achieved a peak 5G. Bharti Airtel 4G Speeds on 4G+ network on Poco F1 in Hyderabad Is 5G Ready to Launch? During the 5G trials, Vi claims that it has managed to achieve a download speed of 1.2Gbps on 5G network on a smartphone. So the speeds of over 300 Mbps is a first for any Indian telecom operator, but as we said above, this is not the true potential of 5G. But the 4G LTE speeds in India never crossed 200 Mbps, even on the country’s LTE-only network Reliance Jio. In the past, we were able to achieve download speeds of around 160 Mbps on Airtel’s LTE+/4G+ network. This was a true test of 5G, which was capable of demonstrating how big of a leap this new tech really is. To further prove this speed, the video included a download of a massive 1GB file, which gets completed within 30 seconds. Download test - how fast you can get data from internet.
Jitter test - variation of the network delays. Ping test - network delays test between device and internet.
The speed test results have been included in this article. The 5G Speed test application also provides you with other connection details like your IP address as well as the name of your internet service provider. While this is not the crazy gigabyte per second speed that was promised during the launch of 5G, considering the circumstances and the equipment, this is still quite impressive. With Verizon's 4G LTE home internet plan, customers can typically expect download speeds ranging from 25Mbps to 50Mbps, with uploads in the single digits. When the network speed was tested, the 5G speeds were pretty good, with a download speed of 310 Mbps and an upload speed of 65 Mbps.
