Internet is
an integral part of our lives. In fact, I really find it hard to believe that
there was a time when we didn’t have internet. Now, we have smartphones that
make us access information anytime anywhere. For people like me who work
online, it is imperative that I have a good network connection with high
speeds. This is to enable me to download large files, browse through videos and
other information and transmit data speedily. Often, that does not happen as
smoothly. Even the networks that promise very high speeds often end up being
erratic.
There are
times when it is difficult to even get 3G speeds while traveling. On my recent
trip to Rajasthan, I was completely frustrated when I got 2G speeds most of the
time. You can imagine how exasperating it is to wait forever for pages to load.
Even answering a simple email and sending it across was an ordeal. Also, I
needed to urgently modify a ticket online but could not do so because of such
poor speeds on my mobile. Hence I had to call a relative and ask for help.
This is
where Airtel’s promise of 4G seems wildly exciting. Imagine the possibilities
with lightning-fast internet network.
Here are
some of the things that I would do:
1. Movie downloads:
Yes, at the current speeds, it is a pain to download a movie and then wait for
hours while it gets downloaded. Now, I can have the movie downloaded in no time. Just
the thought of it makes me so happy.
2. Music: I love music. I love to hear music when I work. Hence I either play playlists or Youtube videos while I work. Now the videos will not keep buffering and spoiling my listening pleasure if the speeds are this good.
3. Browsing: I read a lot of articles, blog posts, e-books online. I am also a person who often does online courses. You know the courses that include lots of videos and graphics. Generally, these videos take quite some time to load and play and often I have to use a high-speed network to access them. Thus, I lose out on utilizing the time I waste sometimes in commute or while waiting for ages outside a doctor's office. Now, I can plug in my headphones and instantly access these videos even on my smartphone. How lovely is that!
4. Videos: I love watching trailers and song videos regularly on my phone. I also love watching videos of my children that have been uploaded online. These ought to be a breeze with a faster network.
5. Video calls: These will become significantly better improving communication with my clients as we can see and hear each other better in real time.

you see how excited I am to do all my favorite things once I get Airtel 4G SIM
for my phone.
