Soon after the recent launch of affordable Jio Fiber plans, Airtel Xstream Fiber came up with its revamped plans. Both the companies are offering unlimited broadband internet plans and limitless calling in the similar price range. Take a note that unlimited internet here means 3300 GB of maximum data usage per month as per the commercial usage policy. Airtel Xstream Fiber provides automatically adjustable upload & download speeds whereas Jio Fiber gives symmetrical speeds. Thus, both work on a different mechanism. They also provide you with a 4K set top box, wifi router, and a voice controlled remote. Now, let's compare their plan offerings to check out on who emerges as the winner.

You won’t get any channels. Channels are going to disappear. You will have to search your content and watch. Everything will change. It will be frustrating in beginning that you can’t change channels that easily. But slowly it will teach you how to be patient. Slow apps, bad boxes, slow speed etc will give you less time to watch tv. Eventually it will be good for you.
