[Resolved]  Airtel — Airtel 4g mobile pack not providing 4g

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka, 560037
Website:www.airtel.in

I recharged my airtel prepaid sim with recent rs1499 4g mobile pack special offer, which offers,

Rs1499 -
"1gb 3g/4g 28 days. Now for 1 year get 1gb 3g/4g 28 [protected]@ just rs53, 2gb 3g/4g @ rs95, 5gb 3g/4g 28 [protected]@ rs255
Validity: 28 days".

But soon after this my airtel network switched to 3g only and never went to 4g.

After observing this i recharged with rs9 data pack which offers 35mb. Network switched to 4g till 35mb was used up. Then again went back to 3g and never returned again. I tried this few times and every time i observed this.

Airtel is cheating by limiting us with 3g only whereas it advertises rs1499 special offers as 4g mobile packs.
