Discussion Expansion of Jio & Airtel Optical Fiber no longer happening after the entry of AirFiber?

Similar things Airtel does here for their wifi services. Our area house gates and walls have poster for Airtel wifi. There are also Airtel sales people with umbrellas to advertise and sell wifi. There are also people doing door to door visits to sell wifi.

I think Airtel is heavily investing in areas where ACT or Excitel Fiber are non existent. Just a wild guess. 👀
5 years before I tried very hard to get Airtel fiber so as to have landline atleast, since the mobile signals at my area is poor due to existence of the railway station. Mobile operators declined to improve the signal quality here.
I failed to get Airtel fiber here, then went ahead with local cable tv owned fiber internet and then switched to BSNL.
Even though I was a premium postpaid customer of Airtel holding a higher plan, those guys never turned up and fulfilled my need that time.

ACT guys are actively promoting their network here, our area all house gates were pasted with ACT advertisement.
Everyday at one ACT tent I am seeing here. In the last 10 years I never seen such tents for Airtel fiber. Airtel very lazy guys.

Yes, 40 Mbps should be enough for IPTV and work from home requirements.

But if some more heavy tasks devices connected like more mobile phones connected which are streaming videos or downloading something, the speed will be divided and connection might lag.

You can initially take 40 Mbps plan. If required, later on upgrade to 100 Mbps plan from Airtel Thanks app.


699 plan doesn’t include Netflix or Amazon Prime. The rest of the OTTs are included.

Airtel has been testing a new plan priced at 798. It will provide 40 Mbps speed along with Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+ and other OTTs.

First thing is to find whether in your city Airtel Fiber is operated by Airtel themselves or LCO. If it's LCO operated, you need to get hold of the LCO person. If he is interested, can do the expansion work after getting required permission and planning approval from Airtel side.

If your city is LCO operated, you can get the required details from your city local Airtel store.

In my case, since Airtel has been actively expanding in the city since last year, once I reached out to the LCO he kept me in loop and provided every updates till I got a connection installed. This is also beneficial for him because he got increase in his customer base.
I visited several times the nearby airtel store and come out of the bus stand area and expand their network to other area also. But they clearly told they cannot expand their services they are comfortable around bus stand.
And then main team said connection is possible and I made the payment also. Later all declined for new connection and then I moved ahead for refund.
Now those people again chasing for new connection but for Airfiber. I rarely seeing the airtel poles in and around main area also. Now entire city including my area is covered with ACT fiber.
ACT guys are actively promoting their network here, our area all house gates were pasted with ACT advertisement.
Everyday at one ACT tent I am seeing here. In the last 10 years I never seen such tents for Airtel fiber. Airtel very lazy guys.
Additional note one guy who installed airtel air fiber in my area just for the sake of free TV is closed the connection and came back to Railwire.
