Vodafone Idea Can Boost Revenues With Competitive Broadband Offerings

Vodafone Idea (Vi) can boost its financials with the help of competitive broadband offerings. Other telcos such as Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel have been doing so for quite some time. Telcos can not only bring revenues through their broadband arms but also sell the stakes of their broadband company to investment firms for raising capital whenever required.

One thing that Vi desperately needs is capital. The loss-making telco hasn’t added net positive subscribers for several consecutive quarters now. Even during the month of January 2021, the telco lost 2.3 million subscribers.

For the unaware, Vi does have a broadband company called You Broadband. It is a subsidiary company of Vi that offers fiber services to users across several cities of India. Vi can leverage You Broadband by offering really competitive plans and services. Let’s take a look at how Vi’s broadband service differs from that of its competitors, Jio and Airtel.

Vi’s Broadband Plans Ages Behind Airtel Xstream Fiber and JioFiber’s Plans

First of all, You Broadband offers high-speed unlimited data broadband plans only in select circles such as Pune. In the rest of the circles/cities, the company only offers unlimited broadband plans with up to 60 Mbps speed in general.

Sure, there are limited data plans available with 100 Mbps, 150 Mbps, and 200 Mbps, but they are way too expensive than what Airtel and Jio offer and also come with very little data. In comparison, JioFiber and Airtel Xstream Fiber users don’t have to worry about data with any of their plans.
