Private companies like Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea provide telecommunication services in India. Jio and Airtel have already moved beyond 3G and 4G to offer 5G services. Vodafone Idea is also preparing to launch its 5G service. However, BSNL, the state-owned telecom company, is still providing 3G service.
Despite this, with Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea increasing their recharge rates, many customers are switching to BSNL. BSNL has now announced good news for its customers who have been eagerly waiting for the 4G service.
