Airtel has announced new home broadband proposition to serve the growing demand for high speed data in today’s digital homes and drive the adoption of superfast broadband in the country. The new plans now offer up to 100 per cent more high speed data benefits within the same monthly rentals.   

In-home high speed data consumption in India is increasing exponentially with customers looking to stream HD/4K content, download heavy file across a variety of connected devices like smartphones, tablets, Smart TVs, Internet TV solutions, and security solutions etc. Fixed broadband (Wi-Fi) continues to be the preferred mode of high speed data delivery given its consistent speeds and in the near future will also enable the IoT play for homes with connected appliances.  

To serve this growing demand and enable a high speed data experience in a multi-device environment, Airtel has built a future ready network and introduced ‘V-Fiber’ that delivers consistently superfast broadband speeds of up to 100 Mbps to homes. The ‘V-Fiber’ high speed broadband experience is available to customers within the same plan rentals and requires only a quick modem switch.

Airtel’s refreshed broadband plans are designed to unlock the ‘V-Fiber’ superfast broadband experience with generous bundles of high speed data within existing plan rentals that enable Indian homes to get on to the digital superhighway.

For instance, the Rs 899 plan in Delhi now offers 60GB high speed data compared to 30GB earlier, while the Rs1099 plan will now offer 90GB of high speed data compared to 50GB earlier. The Rs1299 plan now offers 125GB compared to 75GB and the Rs1499 plan offers 160GB compared to 100GB. Similar large increments in data benefits have been affected at every price point in every city with unlimited calling to any network available across all plans.

Existing customers will be upgraded to the new benefits automatically within the current bill cycle while new customers can choose from a host of plans that offer high speed broadband experience. Customers can check their data balance on ‘My Airtel’ app.

The upgraded plans are yet another addition to Airtel’s initiatives to innovate products that offer great value to customers. Recently, the company rolled out Airtel Surprises and myHome Rewards that offered free additional data benefits to customers.
