Not a very long time ago, I had to fight with my
phone when it hung while trying to post a Facebook status . In dire situations,
where the page hung while the status was being uploaded , I tried various self
made tricks on it , like holding it out in awkward angles ( as if the net
connectivity depended on it) , talking lovingly to it, coercing it to allow me
to simply post the status and then get disconnected! The few times I got
through , I patted myself on the back that my cajoling had indeed worked, but
majority of the times, it simply fell flat on its face and I had to rethink the
entire status update and write it down, all the while cursing under my breath!
So the relationship between my internet connectivity and me was one based
on compromises . On days, I even wondered whether the 2G connection that I
believed I was being given was a bluff ........as the network seemed more close
to 1/2G ( if ever there was one) !
Fast
forward a few years , and we've already rolled on to the Lightning fast 4G ! Airtel
has brought across this treat for all of us netizens who are perpetually
harassed by our internet speeds on the go! Since I spend a huge amount of the
day on my phone , brushing up new medical notes, or reading the newspapers , I
think the agonising days of waiting for a webpage to load is finally over . I
can now seamlessly read a news headline and its main report without having to
stare for an eternity at the headline only , while the body of the news takes its own sweet time to load . Moreover , I can finally dump that dreaded word
called 'buffering' into the recycle bin , as watching videos will now become
a smooth experience . A silly circle rotates forever whenever we need to see a
video on YouTube , and by the time the first part of the video runs, were
already out of patience. There's nothing more frustrating than getting an
HD video to start playing in all its glory , and then quickly move into 144p
quality! Thankfully , all these will be history now, and we would talk about these internet hardships to the future generations. Downloading large videos will now be a breeze . And one of the endless possibilities of a fast internet is that the
attachments in an email would load instantly , removing the grievances that we
might have on a busy day when the mail fails to download the attached
files!
Thus , Airtel 4G ushers in a new era of super fast internet connectivity
on our phones. We get to realise that it's a pioneering deal. 296 cities is a
pretty vast number of cities to start with, but the citizens of these 296
places would savour every bit of this new experience. Hope , whole of India is
4G connected soon!
