Airtel Xstream Airfiber Availability
Currently, Airtel Xstream AirFiber is available in Delhi and Mumbai metros only, and customers can buy a new connection available from select stores in the two cities. Airtel has facilitated a Store locator on its website to check the availability of the same.
Customers can visit the stores in Delhi or Mumbai and, just like any other telecom service, need standard KYC documents to get the Airtel Xstream AirFiber connection.
According to Airtel, its Xstream AirFiber provides fibre-like download speeds, which can be used to connect multiple devices simultaneously using the Customer premises equipment (CPE) provided by Airtel. However, you can utilise the services depending on the 5G Network availability in your area.
