Interestingly, JioFiber also offers 1Gbps unlimited broadband at Rs. 3,999 with 2500GB data. The plan comes with free voice, TV video calling, and online gaming option.

Earlier this month, Airtel launched its digital platform Airtel Xstream. The company also launched an Android-based OTT smart stick and a 4K Hybrid Smart Box that offers satellite TV and OTT content together. Both Stick and the Box are priced at Rs. 3,999 each.

Our Take

Almost all home broadband operators are launching a new plan to give a tough fight to JioFiber. And now Airtel has come up with this plan, which is priced at Rs. 3,999. In terms of comparison, Jio is providing this plan with a FUP, while Airtel has not announced anything regarding the same. On the other hand, Airtel is not providing online gaming support with this plan. So, we have to wait and watch to see how people will react to this newly launched plan.
