I’m seeing this plan on my Airtel thanks app.

Currently on the base 499 no frills plan.

Is the 699 plan worth it?

What channels will I get? What will be the quality? Will there be ads? Will the channels be delivered via a stb box or via app.

Talked to CC. Told me stb box will be installed. So basically iptv?

Anyone here base in Delhi using the plan? Care to comment?

How is the English Pay channel premium package? Star select, star world, star movies, cnn international, discovery, star sports.

Once I get the stb box, difficult to return it. Hence, the caution.

I really don’t watch Hindi channels except kbc sometimes. I can watch that on Sony liv I think.

I’m attracted to it because of the English Lifestyle premium package(discover, Sony,history,animal planet, national geographic ], sports pay channels, international news channels like bbc world and cnn international.
 
Are you getting this plan with Broadband?
I had taken Airtel Broadband Black plan of 899 which included 100 Mbps Fiber Broadband and Rs 350 worth DTH channels. We can select any package costing Rs 350. Since I had taken Marathi Plan, it only included all Marathi and Hindi channels (SD +HD) which included GEC and Movies, HD Sports Channels in Hindi, and few Kids/Infotainment channels. Additional A-la-carte channels are added to monthly charge.

But recently there was news that Airtel is providing IPTV STB instead of DTH, so please confirm what STB are they giving.
 
Black is different. They now have bundled broadband plans with content. Though not sure if it's IPTV or app based streaming services. Same speed plan at different prices basically.

Here I only see bundled streaming services in entertainment labelled plans. Tho iirc IPTV is launched in Gurgaon so not sure what's going on.

Also airtel IPTV consumer bandwidth. So keep that in mind.
 
@SVK you can view the various plans available to you by logging in to your Airtel thanks app.

In my thanks app the 899 plan shows 100 mbps speeds with 350 channels but I’m ok with 40mbps speeds so 699 plan sounds fine to me.

I’m concerned the iptv streaming will count towards data consumption and will eat my FUP. It’s not clear if the stb connection will get an independent data connection which will not count towards my personal data usage.

Also, channel quality is not clear. 480p, 720p, full hd. I don’t think it will be 4K. I’ll be happy with hd ready.

So, once again, if anyone in Delhi area has recently subscribed to these plans recently, please comment.🙏
 
Got a call today from Airtel. Turns out they track everything in Airtel Thanks app. Guy said that I opened the app and went into plan change section but stopped on the final step. Did I face any issues changing my plan or something.

The call itself was marked as spam by Airtel.
 
Same thing happened to me, I was just checking Airtel broadband plans in the Thanks app. Suddenly got a call marked as spam from Airtel, now they have been spamming calls, got 4 calls already from yesterday. This never happened before.
