Airtel Xstream Vs Reliance JioFiber: Airtel Xstream Broadband Plans Get Unlimited Data And New Rs 499 Plan

Airtel has announced the new broadband plans for the Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband service. The new plans see the addition of a new Rs 499 plan as well as the switch to unlimited data across all subscription plans—irrespective of the speed you choose. This means Airtel has done away with the Rs 299 unlimited data add-on that users had to bolt on to their Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband subscription to get unlimited usage every month. The new Airtel Xstream broadband plans come just days after Reliance Jio announced the new JioFiber broadband plans that switched to the unlimited data benefit for all plans, for all users. The new Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband tariff plans start with the Airtel Xstream Unlimited plan which is priced at Rs 499 per month and offers unlimited data at 40Mbps speed. This is a new addition to the line-up, to compete with the Rs 399 plan by Reliance JioFiber that offers unlimited data at 30Mbps speed.

The Rs 799, the Rs 999, the Rs 1,499 plans have been updated while the flagship Rs 3,999 plan has been left untouched. This means that the Airtel Xstream Premium plan priced at Rs 799 now offers unlimited data at 100Mbps speed. The Airtel Xstream Entertainment plan at Rs 999 per month now offers unlimited data at 200Mbps speed. The Airtel Xstream Ultra plan now also offers unlimited data at 300Mbps speed. The Airtel Xstream VIP plan priced at Rs 3,999 always bundled unlimited data usage at 1Gbps speeds—continues to offer the same benefits. It is expected that existing customers will also be switched to the new unlimited data benefit in the coming days. Earier today, we had noticed the removal of the Rs 299 unlimited data add-on option from Airtel’s website which we believed was the first hint that new Airtel Xstream Fiber broadband plans were incoming (You can read more on that here).
