Can I please get some Jio Fiber and Airtel Xstream reviews from users? Will prepare a detailed comparison and buying guide on the basis of the reviews that I get. If someone has used both of them, please let me know which one's better and why.

I am a Jio fiber user, well one thing i like the most about jio fiber is the option of keeping it is a prepaid connection. You can leave it without recharging for upto 90 days. This is very useful for those who constantly travel for some months away from home. Jio also has a 199+gst plan which gives 100Mbps for 7 days validity.  If your plan expires and you are recharging after few days, you will be able to use internet almost instantly as the payment is confirmed. Had broadband from local cable service and sometimes it took hours for the broadband to get reactivated.

Also jio base plans start at 399+gst which give 30Mbps , which is pretty good for many home users.

Airtel Xtreme provides quality and the best internet experience over Jio Fiber. I've observed there is a speed issue and disconnectivity of WiFi in Jio Fiber across all devices at my home which was not a case in Airtel Xtreme. Also, Airtel Xtreme now provides OTT apps subscriptions with internet plans after getting tough competition from many internet service providers.

Airtel 3000 plan comes with 6 months validity, includes GST.

Rs.500 a month, constant 48 Mbps on 40Mbps plan.

This one is plain vanilla plan but comes with Sonyliv subscription accessible from Xtream app.

Can't comment on Jiofiber as I never used their service.

But my experience with Airtel was pretty smooth.

Downgrading plan was smooth from App, support is responsive and installation was quick and free.

Tier 2 and tier 3 cities are billed on prepaid basis.

I had to close their connection as I was moved out of city and they were not ready to close it even escalated it via email also on twitter. Finally raised it in PG Portal and then they closed it.

Using jio fiber 150mbps plan. It's good. Never faced a downtime in last 3 months.

I used to think that Airtel is very bad for some reason. But looks it's become good now from the comments and poll.

Airtel is poor with its services and frequent downtime. They are spending all the money on marketing.

Planning to shift to Jio Fiber pretty soon.
