Airtel Xstream Fiber Rs 499 Plan

Post the revamp of plans; the Rs 799 plan is no longer the cheapest broadband offering from Airtel Xstream Fiber. It is the Rs 499 plan now. The internet service provider (ISP) offers users 40 Mbps speed in addition to unlimited data with this plan. Unlimited data for Xstream Fiber users means 3.3TB (3,333GB) data, and there is unlimited voice calling included as well. Users also get Airtel Thanks benefits along with several different OTT benefits such as Airtel Xstream Premium, Voot Basic, Eros Now, Hungama Play, Shemaroo Me, Hoichoi, and Ultra.

JioFiber Rs 399 Plan

JioFiber also revamped its plans a few weeks back, and its cheapest broadband plan comes for Rs 399. It ships with 30 Mbps speed and 3.3TB (3,300)GB (unlimited data). Users also get unlimited voice calling with this plan. But the strange thing is there are no OTT benefits included with this plan at all.

BSNL Rs 449 Plan

BSNL started offering the Rs 449 plan from October 1, 2020, and currently, it stands as the cheapest broadband plan offered by the state-run telco. It offers users 30 Mbps speed with 3.3TB (3,300GB) data along with unlimited calling to any network within India. Post consumption of fair-usage-policy (FUP) data, speed gets reduced to 2 Mbps.
