Guess the guy who designed logo, did it for free!

And they just overlapped both subscriptions, so whichever had longer validaity stays, other expires. Doesn't get added.

Already, on home page lot of crap stuff showing up. But If Hotstar streaming experience remains, that'd be relief.

Btw, what is the best way to get Hotstar Coupon (1499/ plan), my subscription expiring this month. I saw gyftr/paytm giving upto 100 off.

Cheapest way is to get 6 months super at 600:

They just kill competition and acquire them, eventually leaving little to no competition, then they go on price hike spree. That's just their business model I guess

here we go with communist conspiracy theories ultra pro max.

in 2014 I paid 349/gb to airtel.

Mota bhai came in around 2016/17 I guess? and I got free 4G internet for 1-2 yrs (saving me 349/m 1gb price, so 4188/y and 8400/2yrs not even factoring in that I got lots of gb's of data not just 1gb as I was getting in 2014 airtel.

After that I am paying 199/m (postpaid plan) since prolly 2019/20 and I get 25gb of data + unlimited calling from last 6 yrs and recent price of of the same plan is 100 rs extra so I have 299 postpaid jio plan. So "mota" bhai's cost even after starting the business 8 yrs back is still fckn' lower than the costs I was paying 11 yrs back.

The costing Jio has saved me in last 8 yrs now, tbh I am even fine paying them double of what I paid currently. Services are amazing, internet is fast, calling is amazing. I just don't like their wifi calling which keeps dropping on iPhone and not on android.

So Ya, I actually don't freaking care abt the competition right now, you want competition, go pay old prices of 350rs/1gb. Shell out money. People like you are the reason innovation stops, people like you are the reason why BSNL employees always treated me like shit and told me lunch brk ke baad aana. People like you are the reason why banks like SBI are still in business or railways can't innovate or electricity govt companies in Delhi NCR have monopoly. Forget innovating, a simply website of BSES refuses to open normally (bsesdelhi . com) and can't even easily show me my current pdf for bill. There is zero accountability of units consumed.

I want monopoly right now of Jio or adani etc so they can disrupt industries. Enough shitty services for Indian consumers. Does monopoly comes with disadvantages, ofcoruse yes, but monopoly of govt companies did any better for us? No it didn't!! They made us hate them even more when they told us to come to offc for a simple issue like address change.

Once we have full monopoly of private players, then may be after 20 yrs or so when we see too much price rize, we can then ask for competition and if they aren't able to do so, then we can elect political parties/govt who don't support mota bhai's monopoly, but for now, let us just enjoy what we are getting.

Everyone does it. People who are against private companies monopoly support Govt companies monopoly. Regardless monopoly is supported by either side. The diff is other side doesn't think govt companies monopoly can be called/labelled monopoly because they are run by elected people (who we know are usually dynasts / uneducated people).

I laugh on the people claiming price hikes where as BSNL used to charge bomb to consumers for broadband. Currently in my home town there's BSNL/AIRTEL/JIO, and jio charges the least, airtel 100 rs extra more and BSNL got their prices lowered from the amount double of what they were charging before, but still bsnl's costing is more than jio and airtel. Shameless govt babu's and govt companies who looted the country in corruption and under the table money and here conspiracy theorists are crying about 2 private player mergers that too which is quite transparent.

So well said. Airtel and others even wanted to either block or charges extra for calls made over data then.

Well, at least the US govt has the balls to question their CEOs in public hearings. Can't see the same happening in India anytime soon..
Click to expand...
It was not "US Govt' you unaware simpleton, it was the senate where senators regardless which political party they belong to can ask questions to anyone as Congress has the power to summon anyone for question via a subpoena.

You can expect the same in India when a scam like 2G happens here again. Please real about parliament and how it functions.
The only alleged scam happens in india is like Rafale, electoral bond etc where opposition alleged stuff and then rahul gandhi apologized officially when supreme court ruled against him and his lies. Same happened in electoral bonds where most money proportionate to political party size went to parties like DMK who took the most money in india so opposition stopped talking abt electoral bonds now as they know they took the money aswell.

So spare us your political bias. This forum is for financial stuff, not political bias and discussion but if it was, you can be rest assured everyone will call you out here on your commie conspiracy theories and lies.

You could have replied like a sane "gyani" person, but you chose violence and went on a whole a## rant. There was a real opportunity of having a sane debate over this topic, but all that goes down the drain once you start attacking the person instead of the topic. Just have a look at how other people responded to the same message and read yours one more time. And if you still feel you are the only one who knows "duniya kaise chalti hai" then there's no debating you. I was just asking you to calm down as I didn't see a point to respond to your hostile rant. I haven't been rude to you in any way but you sure seem hostile.

Bro konsi direction me le ja rahe ho conversation ko? Why are you so angry? Go touch grass, pata nhi kya kya bak raha hai. At least be respectful. Commie, conspiracy kya kya bol diya bhai ne..

I am angry, ofc I am. Because of people like you as I said before we normal people suffer coz of govt monopoly. Are you really against monopoly or are you for govt monopoly. I have discussed extensively on the "topic" but you couldn't come up with any logical replies or even a rebuttal but just trolling like a cheap troll thinking you got someone angry hahahaha mza aa gya right?

As I said before, behaviour like yours is the reason why we didn't enjoy good services like hotstar, jiocinema, jio 4g 5g etc before. Let us enjoy those services in peace and no need for any discussion whatsoever.

Other people reply to u in a way you like, I am not one of those people. This isn't opportunity to debate anything, this is a forum for financial stuff. Let it be like that. You can head over to insta, or X where your time of conspiracies are spread just to make the current govt look bad. This isn't political forum, let it be such. If you have the kink to pay 10x more and get 10x less services just so you can save the world from monopoly then goahead and do so.

Same app with a slightly different colour scheme. One good thing is that we don’t need to purchase two different subscriptions.

This is very correct…
I already got free Hotstar subscription through Airtel black ( WiFi n dth pack).
1099 + gst for 200 mbps n dth . I use axis Airtel cc for this payment hence CB of 250… Hotstar n sonyliv are free as long as the plan is intact.. a very good deal , I should say ..

Airtel+Jio in the same plan 🤯

I am guessing after the current agreement is over, Airtel will drop this freebie…

Yeah, that’s pretty much expected in a duopoly. Competition gets intense, and rivalries are bound to surface. We all know why Deepinder Goyal was removed from Shark tank.
 
The only thing I hate about this is they play censored English content on their platforms. I get it for free through D2H plan, but still don't watch anything on it.
