Vodafone Idea Ltd. (vil)

VODAFONE IDEA LTD. operates as a mobile telecommunications provider in India under the “Vi” brand, formed from the Vodafone India and Idea Cellular merger that became a legal entity in 2018. Public filings and media coverage show ongoing restructuring pressure, including government conversion of spectrum-related dues into equity (reported as completed on 8 April 2025). Recent reporting indicates Abhijit Kishore has been appointed CEO, succeeding Akshaya Moondra after his term ended in August 2025.

Public peering records list Vodafone Idea India with ASN AS55410 in PeeringDB, indicating active interconnection presence. Separate ASN directories and ASN-lookup datasets also associate Vodafone Idea Ltd with AS38266 (VIL-AS-AP), suggesting multiple autonomous system footprints are visible in public routing-related sources. Beyond these identifiers, publicly consistent detail on specific PoPs and backbone layout is limited without operator disclosures.

User discussions and complaints across public forums frequently mention weak data speeds, inconsistent coverage, and difficulties reaching effective customer support. Positive experiences appear, but they are less prominent than recurring service and support issues in the sampled material.
