Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL), the third-largest telecom operator in India, has a home broadband plan with OTT (over-the-top) benefits. Vodafone Idea and home broadband do not sound very common together. This is because unlike Airtel and Jio, Vodafone Idea, does not directly market its home broadband services. Jio calls it JioHome and Airtel calls it Airtel Homes service as well.

Vodafone Idea wants to capture high paying customers in India. That is why it is offering these services. But the telco is very far behind when it comes to competition with Airtel and Jio. This is also the highest speed plan that you can get from the company. Unfortunately, there are no plans with higher speed. This is where Jio and Airtel would have the edge. But then, there is not that big chunk of a market in India that wants more than 200 Mbps speed in their homes.
