Sad News Airtel Xstream Broadband has now hard-capped it's plan speeds

[Ashok Varma]

As Airtel xtream provides Rs.350/- worth dth plan, if I modify the pack to a monthly bill of Rs.200/-, will it reduce my monthly bill by Rs. 150/- ??

No. Its complimentary, if utilized.

Seems airtel started throttling download speeds to 60-80% of the plan speed after implementing the hard caps. While downloading heavy files I can observe this in the windows task manager. Does anyone else facing this ?

It's been there since two months. Lot of users have shifted to Hathway and other providers due to this.

Yes, I also have the same plan and having the same issue while downloading heavy files from cloud storage sites. Fraudtel for a reason throttling less than plan speed.

Is that person complaining about not getting 300Mbps+ on their 300Mbps plan, or 40Mbps plan?

On 40 Mbps plan bro.

Some were getting 1 Gbps too. Now these users are bashing and complaining Airtel.

I recently got airtel xtream fiber and have been testing it for few days now. The speeds I am getting are absolutely according to the plan I have opted for. I seriously don't understand why people are whining about this issue. Complaining about getting low speeds according to the plan is understandable but this outrage is outright stupid.
