Telecom operator Vodafone Idea Limited today stated that it would be making a ‘strategic announcement’ on September 7. Riddled with financial issues, Vodafone Idea did not brief the media for a while, or it is safe to say, the telco did not address the media since its merger back in 2018.

Besides informing the press regarding the announcement, the Twitter handles of Vodafone and Idea are heavily teasing the same. While the company will be making the announcement tomorrow at 11:45 AM, there are several speculations on the web on what could be announcing. Firstly, we expect the telco to announce the integration between both the telcos is now complete. Alongside, Vodafone Idea might reveal details regarding its fundraise and how it is looking to compete with the rivals Airtel and Reliance Jio.

On top of these expectations, Chetan Malhotra, an expert commentator of TelecomTalk, shared an image of new brand identity of Vodafone Idea. The image falls in line with our first expectation of integration between both Vodafone and Idea is now complete. Going by the image, we can say that Vodafone Idea might soon be launching new customer support centres called ‘Mini Stores’ and a brand new logo with ‘VI’ letters,

Vodafone Idea has also approved the raising of funds of Rs 25,000 crore recently and they will also be using the fresh funds to improve its network connectivity across the country over the next few quarters.

What are your expectations from Vodafone Idea at its ‘strategic announcement’ tomorrow? Let us know in the comments section below.

Airtel Xstream Fiber Now Providing Unlimited Data With All the Plans

Airtel Xstream Fiber Unlimited Data

Airtel Xstream Fiber is one of the biggest competitors of JioFiber. Both the broadband service providers are constantly bringing new offers to lure the customers in. JioFiber much recently announced a new broadband plan of Rs 399 per month which comes with unlimited data. Now, that is cheap and a good deal for the customer. This would have given a very huge competition to the plans from Airtel Xstream Fiber which start from Rs 799 and don't provide unlimited data for free. But that has been changed by Airtel. Now all the Airtel Xstream Fiber plans come with unlimited data benefit unlike before. Until now, it was only the VIP broadband plan came with an unlimited data benefit. Along with that, Airtel has also announced the new 40 Mbps speed broadband plan for Rs 499 which also includes unlimited data, unlimited calls, Airtel Xstream 4K TV Box, and OTT content of the Xstream 4K TV Box.

Airtel Xstream Fiber Unlimited Data Plans

So now there are a total of five plans that are on offer under the listings of Airtel Xstream Fiber. These five plans are – Rs 499 plan (40 Mbps speed), Basic (100 Mbps speed), Entertainment (200 Mbps speed), Premium (300 Mbps speed), and VIP (1 Gbps speed). Any customer that would earlier want to get unlimited data in any of the plans except for the 1 Gbps speed plan, he/she would have to pay an additional Rs 299 per month.

That would get the customer unlimited data which also has a FUP limit of 3.3TB data every month. But now, this has been made free for all the plans. So now, regardless of the plan the customer is choosing, he/she is eligible to get unlimited data with it. Earlier, Airtel Xstream Fiber had rolled out such a similar offer to select telecom circles of India. The six telecom circles that got the benefit of the unlimited data were – Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Surat, Visakhapatnam, and Guntur. Now the unlimited data offer is not just limited to these telecom circles, but the offer has been extended to the whole of India.

The basic plan (cost Rs 799) earlier came with 150GB data for a month. The Entertainment plan (cost Rs 999) came with 300GB data for a month and the Premium plan (cost Rs 1,499) came with 500GB data for a month. It is worthy to note that there is no change in the pricing of the plans but only the benefits have changed. So the plans are still going to cost the same but you will get unlimited data (3.3TB) per month.

It is certainly a good workaround for the customers who want quality internet without any worries about running out of data. Paying Rs 299 per month for unlimited data felt a little exorbitant to some of the customers and thus the change would be accepted gracefully by the Indian broadband customers.

The new Airtel Xstream Bundle which is offering Airtel Xstream 4K TV Box is also not completely free. You will have to pay a security deposit of Rs 1,500 to obtain the box. For the Rs 1,499 and Rs 3,999 broadband plans, there is additional Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime Video, and ZEE5 benefit added. This bundle is going to be available for customers starting September 7, 2020.

Fibre Broadband Will Make Working and Learning from Home an Easier Affair

Since the time COVID-19 has come, working and learning from home has become the new normal. Be it school, college, or tuition students, everyone is learning from their homes. Even the people going to the offices have adopted and actually become used to working from their homes. No one wants to take the risk of contracting novel coronavirus and that makes sense. The best way to ensure that your learning or work doesn't interrupt is to get fibre broadband. Why fibre broadband? It is because – a) internet is stable, b) internet is very high speed with fibre broadband. You can get up to 1 Gbps internet speed with a fibre broadband connection.

What Makes Fibre Broadband the Best Option?

There are multiple reasons why fibre broadband is the best type of internet connection you can get for your home for learning or working. The first reason would be that if you are learning and working from home, then there is a big chance that you keep multiple tabs open in your internet browser. Each tab is consuming data and loading content. For that to work smoothly, you need a strong internet connection. Fibre broadband can help you do this. There are many affordable fibre broadband plans which can offer up to 100 Mbps speeds.

One thing that you must remember is that most of the learning courses come in videos. Now you don't want to learn in low-quality videos because most of the time you will miss out on the text that is there in the video or figures because of the poor quality. Fibre broadband connection though can allow you to load videos in 4K and not worry about buffering at all. It is same for the people who are looking to conduct online meetings, they need a very strong and fast internet connection to have a smooth experience.

Another reason why fibre broadband is the best connection that you can get today is the fact that most of the exams might be conducted online. If online exams are held, you don't want a network or broadband connection that you can't rely on. Meaning you don't want a broadband connection which disconnects or drops the speed on a daily. With fibre broadband, none of this will be an issue.

Along with that, most of the work and learning-related files are big in size and you don't want to store them in the local hard drive of your computer. That is why cloud storage is very essential. But to download and upload big files, it is impossible to do it with a standard and slow internet connection. You don't want to wait for very long to get the work done, that is why fibre broadband connection is a good option to have.
