Discussion Why are OTTs offered by broadband providers so bad?

[dino29]

That's because Airtel's rival Jio is offering much superior benefit at a lesser price.

They r offering just 13 apps with their mobile, broadband plans while Airtel offers 25+ that too complimentary with most mobile / broadband plans and above that many such plans and Airtel Black plans provide Disney+Hotstar , Amazon Prime Video too for free

I'm using Airtel fiber for last years as backup, still i can't satisfy with their OTT offerings. I'm happy with ACT fiber OTTs offerings as a primary connection.

U had already explained that ACT gives a Rs 499 broadband plan and 199 is charged for OTT top up.... So now compare this with Airtel Rs 499 postpaid plan or Airtel Broadband Rs. 499 plan and Airtel Black Combo Rs. 699 plan.... Airtel offers far many advantages interms of service quality as well as OTT offerings

So there are no strings attached? There won't be any additional charges post the trial period?

Now ACT offered 649/- for 40 mbps plan with D+HS, Zee5, Sunnxt & Yupp tv for live channels, Rs.849/- for 100 mbps with Netflix & all above OTTs and Rs. 1049/- for 150 mbps plan with Sony Liv & all above OTTs.

Correction: Jio Fiber actually provides the most popular and relevant OTT subscriptions bundled with their fiber & airfiber plans. They are providing 15 OTTs currently with the upper tier plans and 13 OTTs with the lower tier plans. Until a few months back, they had 18 bundled OTTs total.

When it comes to bundled fiber + OTT services, no one can beat Jio in it because they are available throughout India and providing lesser but most important OTT services. Whereas others are providing many useless/less known OTT subscriptions which many might not find interesting.

In addition, Jio cost is lesser than (for each plan rs. 100 is less) Airtel package,
In turn Jio also provides android box , Act and Hathway both not providing android box

If i specifically talk out Airtel, out of 26 Apps they provide under XStream Play Premium Subscription 20 r important so it is not that all apps r useless.... I tend to respectfully disagree with ur viewpoint bro as on basis of my observation Airtel provides best value for money plans and great service quality.... Also as i have mentioned they provide Disney+Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video too free with many basic plans

Even the standalone broadband , broadband + OTT combo subscriptions plans r affordable compared to rivals

Still Airtel offers much better offerings at similar pricing for various plans

No. My Rs. 699 Airtel Black DTH combo plan providing all these OTT benefits for free since last 2 years

Is Netflix bundles with 100 mbps (Rs 849/-) plan in Airtel?
