Comparison with Jio Fiber new plans

Earlier in the week, Jio revamped a few plans with the aim to offer consumers unlimited data at high speed at competitive pricing. The Rs 399 and Rs 699 plans offer speeds of 30Mbps and 100 Mbps respectively with unlimited internet. On the other hand, with Rs 999, Rs 1,499 plans they included the 4K Set Top Box with access to more than 10 OTT apps including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Sony LIV, Alt Balaji, and others. Jio also claimed that the download speed will be equal to the upload speed.

Barring the 30-day free trial and providing Netflix, Airtel plans are quite competitive to Jio Fiber.

Internet usage for an average person has increased manifold due to the Covid-19 pandemic as the need for high-speed interest has increased. XStream Bundle plans aim to increase the market share of Airtel. If you have an active Airtel number, go to the Airtel Thanks app and check the broadband plans, or go to the Airtel store.
