Bharti Airtel announced a new brand identity to its broadband plans called ‘Airtel Xstream Fibre.’ As part of the new identity, Airtel revised its broadband plans starting at Rs 799. However, the company has removed the data rollover facility for broadband users which it introduced back in 2017. Airtel now allows every broadband customer to avail unlimited data (3.3TB FUP) every month by paying an additional Rs 299 every month on top of the existing plan. And the new broadband plans under Airtel Xstream Fibre come with basic FUP limit similar to JioFiber broadband plans. There are some users who will miss the data rollover facility, while some may not. For those who had a lot of data left in their Airtel broadband account, here’s some good news. Airtel confirmed to TelecomTalk that the customers could make use of the leftover data in their account till the time they migrate to another broadband plan.

Airtel Removes Data Rollover Facility for Broadband Users
To recall, Airtel introduced data rollover facility on broadband plans back in 2017 when the company had only FUP enabled plans. Firstly, the data rollover facility was introduced for Airtel postpaid users, and thankfully, the company did not remove it for the postpaid subscribers though. Airtel Xstream Fibre now has just four broadband plans- Rs 799, Rs 999, Rs 1,499 and Rs 3,999, providing data benefit of 150GB, 300GB, 500GB and 3.3TB every month.
As you can see, the FUP limit is not impressive by any standards, which seems to be the reason why the company removed data rollover facility. A lot of Airtel Broadband customers are complaining on Twitter that their current month’s data is no more forwarded to the next month. Yes, Airtel has officially removed data rollover facility on broadband plans. On the brighter side, the company is allowing the subscribers to make use of the already existing carry forwarded data in the customer’s account until the time they migrate to another plan.
