ABOUT THIS POLL

India's two biggest mobile networks. Jio, launched by Reliance in 2016, has the most subscribers and runs standalone 5G. Airtel, around since 1995, built its name on reliability and runs non-standalone 5G. What really decides it is the signal where you live and work. Which network do you stay with?
