I was for two month in India and got a Jio sim card. Overall I have to say it was a very frustrating experience, countless times where the cell was so congested that I had to try multiple times to send a Whatsapp message out. Even when there was good 4G signal, I would have packet loss here and there, you could not even have a clear call over Whatsapp without problems. Two years ago I was in New Zealand and was able to talk to people in Europe on 3G over Whatsapp with crystal clear voices.

4G coverage was good though, even when travel buddies had only 2G with Airtel/Vodafone I was able to get a weak 4G signal. I went from the south to the north and visited cities as well as rural areas, in the big cities connection and speed was acceptable.

I have been to many other developing countries and have never seen internet infrastructure as bad as in India, had no matter where I was packet drops with Jio and even sometimes on wired DSL connections, especially Goa was super bad and it is supposed to be the richest state in India.

So when you go India you should lower your expectations.
