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.

I am also planning to get a connection their rep is telling me that only if I take 3 months plan installation charges will be nil. Else I have to pay 1000rs as installation charges
 
In my area:

Spectra Gigabit
ACT up to 150 Mbps (now 300 due to Corona)
Airtel Xstream launched on 5th March 2020. It was first installed in my house in my locality. Sarvodaya Enclave. Earlier Airtel had max 40 Mbps here.

I guess we also have one or more local guys here.

MTNL offers telephone services. Maybe Broadband too. But I don’t think they offer Fiber here.

Now Airtel is the best option here. Earlier it was ACT. They have a good LCO here.

I am in South Delhi.
 


Currently with Airtel. But I think both are okay through VPNs. ACT might have been affected less than Airtel though, perhaps.
 
one thing I observed in Airtel broadband website that in many cities they are charging taxes extra for all plans and for few new cities they are including all taxes in plans at same price. Is it some mistake in website or they really including taxes in plans ?
visit Airtel website, in broadband page select cities like Jammu, shimla, katra. Below there is mentioned that all prices are inclusive of taxes.
 
why are you asking same question in multiple threads? this is not the first time you have done this.
