another stupi.d advancement towards being at par with developed countries..
but no!!!
this is just stu..pid innovation with cheap low quality materials, everything would be faulty.

y'all should stop celebrating it cos if we ever get the full capabilities of 3G alone we wont complain slow internet, yet the slowest network is introducing 4G, its another 21st century joke, cos you will browse, download n upload at edge speed.
sorry

No be only 4G. ....
Airtel network is damn too slow.
