    4G services at Haryana’s doorstep

Airtel's existing customers can now avail a complimentary upgrade to Airtel 4G SIM, getting 4G data at 3G prices.

    On 10 April 2012, Bharti Airtel became the forerunner in launching the broadband wireless access (BWA) services based on 4G technology in the country. This high speed service was ushered in by the Telecom minister Kapil Sibal in Kolkata. Compared to 3G, 4G is expected to be 5 times faster. It would offer services such as video conferencing and high-definition mobile TV.

    Airtel lowers 4G data tariff

    In a move to lure more customers, Bharti Airtel lowered its 4G tariff for its customers in Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune and Chandigarh. The revised plans now make Airtel's 4G plans cheaper than its 3G data plans. The plans start at Rs 450 offering 2GB of 4G data. With these concessions, Airtel is aiming to challenge Reliance Jio's much awaited launch of 4G services.
