I had been Airtel Customer for last 3 years since I got 18 year old. Its network was just awesome and comparable at that time but recently I have ported my number to Vodafone Service, It was hard for me to leave Airtel but they left me with no choice. They had suspended 3G connection for about 1 year 7 months. I was still offered 3G connection from Vodafone but in last 3 months I have been stuck with EDGE(2G).
Now a 2G connection in the year 2013 with iPhone 5 is a total disaster. I can't video chat, Skype, stream HD off youtube, etc. I was actually using it only for Whatsapp that to no videos downloads.
