Jio vs Airtel vs Vi: Who wins on value?
While BSNL dominates pure price-per-day, Jio typically leads in 5G data value. Airtel offers premium OTT bundles (Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime) which justify a slightly higher daily cost. Vi provides unique perks like Weekend Data Rollover and Binge All Night, adding immense value for night-time downloaders.
