Good News Bought a New Airtel Xsteam FIber (OFC) Connection - Review

[Bapun]

Speed kam aa rhi hain. Airtel ko 40Mbps ke plan mein 48-49mbps dena chahiye aur 100mbps vale mein bi kam hain.

T: The speed is getting low. Airtel should give 48-49Mbps in the 40Mbps plan and the 100Mbps plan is also less.

Airtel has now hard capped their fiber speeds as per the subscribed plan. It no longer provides more than promised speeds.

Isse acha toh fir Excitel hain. 200Mbps ke plan mein 220Mbps speed deta hain

T: Excitel is better than this. It gives 220Mbps speed in 200Mbps plan

Depends where you live though. You might even have some other local ISP which is better than both, so just choose what's best in your area.

Airtel and Jio are available in most cities, and there are even places like mine where local ISPs have very similar plan speed at the same price, lack of OTT apps and don't even provide full speed most of the time.

Now most of local ISPs also provide OTT apps with 50 mbps plan @ Rs.499/-

That is past. From Jan,2025 airtel hard capped the plan speed for all connections. For 7 months airtel provided uncapped speed in my area. I've used to get 600-700Mbps on my 30Mbps connection. Then after the launch of IPTV service they capped the speed.

Oh Ok. But ye LCO ke through service de rahe hain ye galat hain. Meri City mein 80% area Airtel direct operate karta hain. Aur 20% area LCO ke through operate karvata hain.Meri colony mein two month baad airtel Fiber aaega . Sunne mein aayi hain overhead aayega LCO ke through. Mere sath vali colony mein underground fiber hain airtel ka. Airtel direct operate karta hain usse. Ye toh humare sath partiality kar raha hain airtel vale

T: But they are providing service through LCO, this is wrong. In my city, 80% area is operated by Airtel directly. And 20% area is operated through LCO. Airtel Fiber will come to my colony after two months. I have heard that it will come overhead through LCO. In the colony next to mine, Airtel has underground fiber. Airtel directly operates through it. These Airtel people are being partial with us.

Yeah, depends where you are from though. And not everywhere local ISPs have stable services, many also save a lot money by only relying on peering, not having enough bandwidth. They are usually more prone to random disconnects when compared to Airtel or Jio.

Yeah bro, as I said, depends on your city. And besides that, Vizag is quite developed city compared to many other cities, so they obviously have to provide decent OTT collection now. It is not the same everywhere.
