General Discussions about Airtel Xstream AirFiber

[dino29]

No OTT add on even for Airtel wired fibre also as they are afraid to eat their DTH revenues. Jio and Act have perfect OTT add on packs

Wrong information.
For broadband users they do provide OTT subscription and various other benefits. Also they provide free installation under various schemes and if one opts for Long Duration Plans then installation is free across all plans.

There are more discounts available through different coupons, offers available and if one goes for Airtel Black Combo Plans there these discounts, benefits get further increase....i am paying 0 NCF on my DTH plan , getting various OTT benefits (my disney+hotstar free 1 year subscription expired few days back and now airtel xstream fibre gave me another 1 year super plan subscription for free and also got 3 months of more XStream Play Premium subscription....similar OTT plans being given on complimentary basis on their other products i use and several other discounts / benefits being provided).

If u r just a Airtel Digital TV DTH Subscriber then too there are plethora of advantages it offers to subscribers so not only proving cost effective but giving wide range of channels and excellent service support.

I would say Airtel is the best value for money option across telecom, DTH, Broadband sectors if one is looking for an operator which fits within one's budget and provides great range of services + user experience . Ofcourse each company wil always have shortcomings so as a customer one should share feedback with them and as time goes forward i have seen that Team Airtel does take necessary steps / action to improve upon the same

You should explain, Where is best value packs for under Rs.1000 for Airtel fiber with OTT add on without DTH? Airtel have D+HS bundle pack under Rs.1000/-and ACT, Jio even BSNL are providing add on offer with many OTTs (Rs.200/200+ live channels) for basic broadband packs as I have been using Airtel fiber since 2020 after cutting cable tv. Now Airtel wants to take DTH (Rs.350+) by every fiber user.

Good News - ACT Fibernet Introduced Several New Plans

ACT Fibernet seems to be finally catching up to the competition in offering OTT benefits in their broadband plans. They have introduced several new Combo plans that includes OTT benefits at varying speeds from 40 Mbps to 1 Gbps. They have also introduced some new plans without OTT benefits...

how much you paid for airtel x stream and what are the OTTs you got after one year (without cost).
I installed airtel black on this year may month and airtel cc told 1 year i will get hotstar and xstream play app, after that have to pay 199 separately.

I am on airtel fiber and all i got was amazon prime and hotstar mobile for 1 year. Airtel ott app was also for 1 year. After 1 year there is no OTT app active for my airtel connection.

On the other hand jio fiber is offering OTT’s from the day i took the connection and its been couple of years.

Airtel OTT offering is nothing than a grain of salt as compared to massive OTT offering by jio.

Also jio offers live channels on jiotv+ for jio fiber which airtel lacks

Jio clearly mentioning the extra cost for OTT and TV channels (100 for OTT and 100 TV channels). Even with combine OTT and TV channels cost, it is lesser than airtel. The only advantage of airtel is, it's DTH connection. If any fault in broadband connection and it is taking time to restore , we can move to DTH at that time

Xstream AirFiber is currently available in three cities in India, including Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. Customers need to visit their nearest Airtel Store to get the Xstream AirFiber.

Airtel Xstream AirFiber now available in Kolkata

Buddy, u need to recheck and compare
Airtel Offers Rs. 499 ,,799 and 999 packs wherein it offers unlimited calls + internet and 40/100/200 Mbps speed alongwith 1 year Free Airtel XStream OTT Subscription, Disney+Hotstar Super subscription for 1 year in 499 plan ans additional Amazon Prime Video subscription in 799,,999 plans.

Also lot many times complimentary access to above apps gets extended under various offers like i am still above 3 though my free access was over 4 or 5 years back.

Also if u see ACT OTT packs cost higher than Airtel .... Airtel Black plans r again total value for money for those wanting DTH/ Mobile/Broadband combo plans

You should know the actual facts/plans from Airtel website, they didn't offer D+HS for Rs.499/- plan and Amazon prime for Rs.799/-, but they offers both for Rs.999/- plan as I am in 499/- plan from inception.

So you are getting airtel xstream app as part of airtel black for last 4-5 years?
I newly joined in airtel black (699 pack), want to know, whether i will get the OTTs after one year

Some interesting feedback about Airtel Xstream AirFiber was shared by X users.

In short, these users are wondering why two outdoor units (one for wifi and other for tv) needed and why Airtel can not invest and unify them to just one ODU similar to Jio AirFiber.

I don’t understand why service providers can’t invest and leverage technology for example since I don’t have fibre feasibility in my society I inquired aboutAirtel Airfiber this morning, and the technician told me that if I want DTH along with airfiber, they would give me four different devices: an Airfiber indoor unit, an Airfiber outdoor unit, a DTH indoor unit, and a DTH outdoor unit. now understand societies have simply refused owners to install these antenna umbrellas in balconies and terraces they now have what’s called a big commercial antenna from which all owners can make individual home connections and this is simply a waste as my house will be filled with wires and also create safety hazards as a lot of these devices have been seen heating and then later causing fire so I need a minimalist consolidated unit which can give my both DTH and air fibre guess will have to go with Jio What do you think given this challenge and limitation with airtel and also that plan and installation cost is pretty same which ISP will you prefer for airfiber?
