bsnl-jiofiber-airtel-999-broadband-plans-compared

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Thursday officially introduced new Bharat Fiber plans to its users across India. The new BSNL plans and its benefits are similar to what JioFiber and Airtel Xstream Fiber offer to its users. So it might become a little hard for some users to decide on which Internet Service Provider (ISP) they should go with. One plan which all of these providers offer is a Rs 999 plan. So today we are going to compare the Rs 999 across the three operators and give our verdict on which one is the best. More on the story ahead.

BSNL Rs 999 Broadband Plan

BSNL has named its Rs 999 broadband plan 'Fibre Premium'. With this plan, the users get 200 Mbps speed along with that 3.3TB FUP data with the operator capping the speeds to 2 Mbps upon reaching the limit. It has to be noted that the new Bharat Fiber plans including the Fibre Premium are not available for long term subscription. Similar to most other Bharat Fiber plans, the new Bharat Fiber plans including the Fibre Premium also offer unlimited calling to any network across India.

JioFiber Rs 999 Broadband Plan

JioFiber, the Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) arm of Reliance Jio also revamped its broadband offerings in late August. The internet service provider also provides the users with a Rs 999 plan dubbed as 'Gold' plan that offers 150 Mbps internet speed to its users. Along with that, the users also get unlimited data capped at 3.3TB per month. Post consumption of FUP data, the speed drops to 1 Mbps for the users. Further, the JioFiber users are also provided "unlimited voice calling."

Crucially, the JioFiber plans offer numerous OTT benefits including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar VIP, Sony LIV, ZEE5, JioCinema, Lionsgate Play, Voot, SunNXT, Hoichoi, ShemarooMe, and ALT Balaji.

Airtel Xstream Fiber Rs 999 Broadband Plan

Airtel Xstream Fiber also offers a Rs 999 plan broadband plan dubbed as 'Entertainment'. It comes with 200 Mbps internet speed. Following JioFiber's plan revamp, Airtel Xstream Fiber also revamped its plans and is now offering unlimited data with its every plan also capped at 3.3TB per month. There is unlimited calling on offer with Airtel Xstream Fiber plan along with OTT benefits including Lionsgate Play, Voot Basic, Eros Now, Hungama Play, Shemaroo Me, Hoichoi, and Ultra. However, it has to be noted that Airtel requires its Xstream Fiber users in most cities to opt for Xstream DTH box to receive OTT benefits.

Verdict

One of the best Rs 999 broadband plans without any question is from Airtel Xstream Fiber. Similar to other operators, Airtel offers a 3.3TB data cap with its Xstream Fiber plans. However, Airtel along with JioFiber also offer OTT benefits but there are none with BSNL. For users who want this plan for long-term, Airtel Xstream Fiber and JioFiber have made it available but BSNL is not offering a long-term plan at the moment. Crucially, Airtel also offers up to 15% discount to its users opting for long term Xstream Fiber plans. In the speed department as well, Airtel Xstream Fiber Rs 999 plan is ahead of JioFiber's Rs 999 broadband plan.

Bharti Airtel Now Offering Rs 399 Postpaid Plan Across More Telecom Circles in India

Posted: 02 Oct 2020 06:32 PM PDT

This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/bharti-airtel-rs399-postpaid-plan-telecom-circles/302067/, Bharti Airtel Now Offering Rs 399 Postpaid Plan Across More Telecom Circles in India

bharti-airtel-rs399-postpaid-plan-telecom-circles
Bharti Airtel, the second-largest telecom operator in India has reintroduced its Rs 399 postpaid plan with the operator now offering the plan across more telecom circles in India. The telecom operator had earlier removed the Rs 399 plan from its listings and was only offering the plan in select circles. However, the operator seems to have changed its stance on the Rs 399 plan since its key rival Reliance Jio introduced the 'JioPostPaid Plus' plans. The second-largest telecom operator in India is likely to have reintroduced its Rs 399 postpaid plan to compete with the entry-level JioPostPaid Plus plan from Reliance Jio. The Rs 399 JioPostPaid Plus plan from Reliance Jio offers 75GB data, unlimited voice calling and SMS along with subscriptions to OTT platforms. More on the story ahead.

Airtel Rs 399 Postpaid Plans is Back

As highlighted earlier, the Rs 399 plan from Airtel wasn't entirely gone from the offerings but it was limited to select telecom circles across India. The Rs 399 plan is the base postpaid plan that is offered by the operator. Airtel users across India including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu have told TelecomTalk that they have spotted the Rs 399 postpaid plan on their Airtel thanks app.

With the Rs 399 plan, the users get 40GB 3G/4G data along with unlimited calling and 100 SMS/day. As for additional benefits, there is a subscription of Airtel Xstream Premium included for one year in addition to subscriptions of Wynk Music and Shaw Academy. The users also get Free Hellotunes and Rs 150 cashback on FASTag transactions.

However, it has to be noted that the users don't get the option of adding in extra connections with the Airtel Rs 399 plan. As per terms and conditions highlighted on the website of Airtel, it has to be noted that the users opting for postpaid plans of Rs 499 or above are only eligible to get 'Priority Service'. So with the Rs 399 plan, there is also no 'Priority Service' for the users.

It is likely that Airtel has brought back this plan as it doesn't want Jio to take the lead with its Rs 399 postpaid plan. Both the plans are not very different from each other. But one thing that needs to be acknowledged is that Airtel wouldn't necessarily be threatened by the postpaid plans of Jio.

After all, postpaid users are said to be more loyal to telecom operators than prepaid users. Airtel has been providing postpaid services for many years now and it is highly unlikely that its users will shift to Jio looking at a plan which is only Rs 100 cheaper than what Airtel offers. So even though Airtel has brought back its RS 399 postpaid plan, it doesn't mean that the telco is threatened.
