Airtel Xstream Fiber Installation Queries

[AshikAliLive]

Finally, got it installed 2 days back. The difference is night & day, as I am a BSNL fiber user from last 4 years. Pings & speed are consistent throughtout the day, apparently the browsing seems lot faster and smoother. Ofted for the 300Mbps plan for 3 months.

How much did you pay for the installation? What fiber did they pull?

@pillaicha I paid for ~300 meter 2f cable it costed me around 5.5 rs/meter including GST (down from 500m, as they took a shortcut while wiring). No other installation charges as I paid for 3 month in advance rental.

@AshikAliLive dude ₹5.5 is insanely cheap. Did he subsidize it for you or pay half of it or something?

Nope, if I'm not wrong he probably got it for less.

I was told he got it from the OFC manufacturer near my city, so it was cheap.
