4G in Hyderabad! Yes, this was what every excited youngster in the city shouted out to the world on Saturday. It was probably the first time the youth didn’t bother cribbing about, even as their phone network was conked from 6 am till noon. But alas! All the enthusiasm surrounding the 4G service ended in anti-climax.

The customers were inconvenienced in the morning due to network failure. Many of them, who repeatedly tried to call their friends, relatives and others, remained perplexed from 6 am to 12.30 pm.
