Our thoughts

Despite the fact, that there is no lack of attractive broadband plans in the market, Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel has distributed free bonus data over-and-above fixed monthly data.

But now the situation has changed, as Reliance Jio is all set to launch its GigaFiber services in India. So ahead of its release, broadband players are offering various benefits and bonus data to keep their subscriber base intact.
