so 2 weeks ago i got airtel Xstream fiber connection installed at my home.

background story:

so in 2017 i got a call from jio fiber that they are giving free fiber connection for 3 months with refundable security deposit of 4500rs. I opted for this and got it installed. I continued using free jio fiber internet for like 2 years untill they started paid plans.
In those 2 years i got full 95 mbps up and down speed. No complaint in that. But their ping latency and download speed was like horrible for non-peered content. I raised a disconnection request this year and got the security amount of 4500rs back within 20 days.
Then airtel called me and told that they are pre booking for upcoming ftth service in my area and i will get free installation and dual band wifi for 1000rs amount. This amount will be adjusted in 2 bills . 500rs discount per bill for 2 months.
I said yes and within 1 week of request engineers and hired labour started digging my street for underground fiber cables and OLT boxes . This continued for 1 month and work was done.

i again got a call from their engineer that service is live now and they are sending wiring team to my location. And installation process began and within 1 hour connection was installed and internet was up and running.

I choose 200mbps unlimited plan and getting more than 200mbps down and upload speed approximately.

ping is also fine. Just 10ms lesser than jio but surfing websites and streaming is way better than jio.
 
Any idea why is this piece of shit jio is using CG-NAT than?
Because they are piece of shit.
 
If they come to my area now they will be sitting on those poles. Hearing that Hathaway is VFM in my area though it comes with atleast 4-5 occurances of DC per month.

Thanks @igloo In our area, they have such boards but it doesn't say coming soon or 1Gbps.

It only says Airtel Xtreme Fiber. Agent Number (Not 8800488004).

It has the same modem picture.

How can I know if its fiber coming board or normal which makes no sense?

Also could you share the number of the agent written on ads who is from Airtel if I could ask him when is it coming in my area?

Because they might have contact with Fiber team which can look up and tell when is my area due for upgrade.
 


@igloo Just now a new paper ad came at home. These are the kind of ad papers I have been receiving from Airtel since last year July or September.

This is the first time they have 88004 88004 which I noticed is that their sales team were cutting it in past but now they are not cutting it.

I called the agent and according to him, there is no Airtel Fiber available in our area. Maximum speed is 40 Mbps (VDSL - V-Fiber)

Asking me to again wait for 6 months (Since September 2019, I have been asked to wait 2 months, 3 months, 6 months... so many of them are passed and again being asked to wait 6 months)

I don't know why they are circulating it then?
