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 didn't specifically said Airtel's bundled OTTs are useless, I said others which was very generic. I don't know why you took it as Airtel!? You skipped understanding the fact that I mentioned that is Jio is providing already providing the essential OTT services bundled with their fiber & airfiber plans.

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

We can agree to disagree. But the fact remains that Jio is superior when it comes to bundled OTT subscriptions. Their Hybrid IP STB also provides access to many apps/live TV channels without any additional costs whereas Airtel has individual TV channel subscriptions due to DTH technology usage.

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

You don't have any idea about the pricing then. I will just share what other members said in between our discussion.

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.

It's available but it's a trial where you will be charged if you forget to cancel.

How come ? Only advantage Jio has currently is that it provides various internet based channels and maybe few more satellite channels too via Jio TV+ app , Airtel has already stated adding regular satellite channels on XStream play, more will be added soon and not only this i anticipate that soon they will provide a Jio TV + like combo channel line up (internet + satellite channels) on XStream Play app.... As far as Jio providing free access to few additoinal apps outside its OTT combo is concerned, on Airtel XStream Smart Android Box too these apps can be downloaded... Also lot of free app content too is available on XStream Play App and as i said TV + Internet Based Channels count will be increased and u will see them providing a combo Broadband + XStream Play App access plan which will allow users to watch channels via app itself thereby not needing DTH for the same while DTH Combo plans will also continue for those wanting to opt for it

I know the information and hence still maintain Airtel still is lot better than Jio as far as service quality and content offering is concerned..... Just to add lot many people find watching TV Channels via JioTV,+ app to be very inconvenient, cumbersome and difficult hence stll prefer DTH for watching regular channels

Airtel Xstream play premium subscription is worst for good quality 4K tv users as no direct access to Sony Liv or Sun Nxt apps with xstream premium reg.mobile no., We can's enjoy superior clarity and sound in Xstream play app like Robo movie with great quality in Sun Nxt or Live sports with 50fps in Sony Liv.
