Misleading ad of Airtel

The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) found the ad claiming Airtel to be "officially" fastest network as misleading and asked the company to modify or withdraw the commercial by April 11 to which the company complied. Airtel has filed an appeal before ASCI for review of the decision.

In comparison, no other Indian operator scored higher than 60 per cent in its 4G availability tests," the statement said. What Is Jio Summer Surprise Offer? All You Need To Know
