Airtel Xstream Fiber Plus (Airtel Xstream Fiber Mesh)

FYI velop mesh is from Linksys. Brand once individual then sold to Cisco then to Belkin and currently with foxconn.
3pc was at prime sale for 15k for limited period, review says coverage problem for individual units on usa/india site.

Just wanted to know the setup of the Fiber Plus system. I guess the GPON/ONT will be there as usual. Now the question is how the mesh (Main unit) system will be configured/connected to the GPon via lan cable. Will the GPon be in bridge mode to utilise all the features of mesh system or will they configure it with double NAT type. Any additional information will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

i went through it multiple times. do they even clarify if you own the devices after first year is over?

You can neither upgrade nor downgrade the plan for a year. I don't think anyone would go for it.

 

[Sushubh]

aren't you prepaying for the entire year?

But one can change plans in Airtel Fiber even if we prepay right and the amount gets adjusted.

I guess since they are saying from 2nd year any plan can be selected which seems like device will be ens user only. Just guessing nothing clear on Faq

I doubt they ll give away 15k worth of device in 25k worth of plan. Atleast 2-3 years if an option.

Update is that, Airtel will launch Fiber Mesh plans tomorrow. You need to be on airtel for 2 years before you own the mesh devices
