WIth airtel, you need to pay for a minimum of 3 months (not eligible for the 499 plan), in order to have 0 installation and deposit charges. The same goes for JioFiber, but there is no minimum plan baseline in it.
Airtel does not offer their Xstream Box and you need to pay an additional 2200(non-refundable) for it, regardless of any plan you choose. This is optional tho, if you have a firestick or any other Android TV app, the XStream app displays very minimum OTT options. On JioFiber it comes free and is surprisingly pretty good, though limited to 1080p only on Netflix and PrimeVideo, etc even on a 4K TV.
Internet quality-wise, I'd say they are mostly similar though if you have multiple very heavy users, then airtel would be the way to go purely since it has better-loaded latencies.
Other than that it boils down to, whether you'd have 200Mbps for 999 or 150.

Internet Uptime or Resolution, JioFiber is a lot better in this regard but that'd boil down to Location to Location.
JioFiber maintains its Fiber Lines/DP Boxes on its own, while Airtel leases it to a separate company for the job.
 
i have a coupon from Paytm that says "free installation & wifi router at no extra cost (applicable on 699 ,1099 & 1599 plan ). it does not say about 3 months prepaid. also i don't require Xstream box. i am happy with tata play.

BTW my brother has the airtel and i have BSNL .is it will be better to take a higher plan on a single router or two router with lesser plan ? Not in terms of cost but in terms of speed and usage. My brother use is ; online meeting & OTT while mine is downloading & gaming mainly. is there will be any speed issue with either of us if we jointly take the connection.
 
A single connection for 2 users is enough, 5Ghz is good enough that it can do easily up to 20-30 users simultaneously. tbh, even 40Mbps would be good enough for the use case you mentioned, but getting 100 would give you a nice headroom.
