After Jio Fiber, now Airtel updates Xstream Fiber plans with ‘Unlimited’ data

Last week, Reliance Jio revamped its limited data Fiber broadband plans into ‘Truly Unlimited Internet’ plans and reduced starting cost to Rs 399. Now for the after effects, Bharti Airtel has now been forced to do the same. Airtel will not only offer “unlimited” high-speed Internet access to Xstream Fiber users, it has also introduced a low-cost plan of Rs 499 with up to 40Mbps speeds.

As per Airtel, the new and revised plans for all Airtel Xstream Fiber broadband customers will now offer unlimited high-speed data with a twist. The Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is now capped at 3,333GB post which it will reduce speeds to 1,024Kbps. The same will be valid for all existing customers using previous Xstream Fiber broadband plans of Rs 799, Rs 999, Rs 1,499, and Rs 3,999.
