Vodafone Idea, which launched its 5G services in Mumbai last month, on Monday said that 70% of its eligible users in the city are currently experiencing its 5G service, and up to 20% of Vi’s current data traffic was already being carried on its 5G network.
“The response from our customers experiencing the power of Vi 5G has been extremely encouraging. This strong early adoption is a testament to the quality of our network and the value we offer,” said Avneesh Khosla, chief marketing officer, Vodafone Idea (Vi).
“The high share of 5G device users, coupled with rapid adoption of Vi’s unlimited 5G connectivity, reflects strong consumer demand for next-gen mobile networks and early momentum for Vi’s services in the financial capital,” the telco said.
In Mumbai, Vi has partnered with Nokia for its 5G deployment using its equipment and technology. The company is now preparing to launch 5G services in Delhi, Bengaluru, Patna, and Chandigarh, with more cities to follow in phases.
Expanding its 5G footprint, Vi also recently enabled 5G services in 11 major cricket stadiums across the country, coinciding with the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL).
