</td></tr></tbody><tbody></tbody></table> It is worth noting that while both JioFiber and Airtel promise to offer “unlimited” high-speed data, the maximum limit per month is capped at 3,300GB and 3,333GB respectively. ACT Fibernet has limits starting at 500GB, going all the way up to 6,000GB. Also, the plans offered by Airtel and ACT Fibernet may vary based on region. JioFiber offers the same plans all over India. JioFiber additional benefits The broadband plans from Reliance Jio come with unlimited voice calling and users can avail one-month free trial. Additionally, <keyword id="4871435" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="JioFiber-plans" source="Orion">JioFiber plans</keyword> starting at ₹999 come with a complimentary OTT subscription. The company’s ₹999 plan offers a free subscription to 11 OTT platforms, including Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, SonyLiv, JioCinema and more. The company’s ₹1,499 and above plans come with free access to 12 OTT platforms, including Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar. Airtel Xstream Fiber additional benefits Airtel subscribers get the Xstream 4K Android Box free and a landline that offers unlimited voice calling with its plans. Additionally, users who subscribe to the ₹999 and above plans will also get complimentary access to Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar and ZEE5. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Which broadband plan should you choose?" comment="subhead" text="Which broadband plan should you choose?">Which broadband plan should you choose?</cmsannotation> Now that you have seen the plans available from Airtel and Reliance Jio, you may be confused about which plan should you go with. Let’s take a look at some of the use cases and the recommended plans. Students If you are a student and need broadband internet at home for attending and streaming classes, you can go with plans that offer 500GB-1,000GB data per month. If affordability is important, then Airtel and ACT Fibernet both offer plans starting at ₹500 per month. Working from home If you are working from home, you will want to invest in a broadband plan with decent internet speeds and data allowance. Since both JioFiber and Airtel offer more than 3,000GB data per month across all their plans, you can consider their plans starting at ₹700 per month. Alternatively, ACT Fibernet’s ₹700 plan is also worth considering even though the limit is 1,000GB. Content streaming If you want to stream content like movies and shows, you will want to invest in plans that offer high speeds as well as adequate data. For this use case, you can consider JioFiber and Airtel’s plans starting at ₹700, but their 150-200Mbps plans are also relatively affordable. Likewise, ACT Fibernet’s ₹1,075 plan might make more sense since it offers 150Mbps speeds and 2,000GB data.

Best broadband plans in India in 2022 – JioFiber, Airtel Xstream Fiber and ACT Fibernet

<ul><li>Jio Fiber will be introducing broadband plans at ₹700 with a minimum speed of 100 mbps today.</li><li>Bharti Airtel is planning to launch its own Android-based set top box with integrated services to counter Jio’s bundling.</li><li>Hathaway is already offering 100 mbps at ₹699 per month — but users have to buy in for at least three months.</li></ul>Mukesh Ambani has done it again. Three years after he launched Jio at no cost for three months, he is heralding a new age of broadband with the promise of high speeds at <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/details-of-jio-fibre-new-tariff-plan/articleshow/70639942.cms">rock-bottom prices</a>. So much so, before the launch of Reliance Jio today, his competitor Bharti Airtel launched a new set of plans to brace against the onslaught. At Reliance Industries’ <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/reliance-jio-fired-up-as-mukesh-ambani-joins-hands-with-satya-nadellas-microsoft-to-challenge-jeff-bezos-in-india/articleshow/70641754.cms">annual general meeting</a>, Ambani promised a minimum speed of 100 mbps for Jio Fiber. He also said that his plans will start at ₹700 per month. Hathaway isn’t going to be left behind. The company’s new ‘Freedom Plan’ offers 100 mbps at ₹699 per month with a data cap of 1 TB. But, here’s what most people don’t know — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/the-difference-between-mukesh-ambanis-jio-and-ani-ambanis-reliance-communications/articleshow/70869465.cms">Reliance Jio</a> owns 51.3% stake in Hathaway. Offering plans and tariffs at par with what Jio has to offer will only helping Reliance’s broadband with its last-mile connectivity, and help Ambani mop up the market at various price points. Airtel, on the other hand, is scrambling to get to take Jio by launching a customised Android-based set-top box in September, according to the <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/airtel-readies-value-rich-plan-to-chase-high-paying-users/articleshow/70692935.cms">Economic Times</a>. It wants to rival Jio’s smart set-top box with integrated access to streaming portals, virtual reality applications and interactive gaming.

One way is by introducing a plan that’s offering half the speed at half the price. For users who feel like they don’t really need 100 mbps can opt for a 50 mbps plan at ₹399 without limits on data consumption. Hathaway’s also offering 150 mbps plans at ₹1,499 per month with a data cap of 1TB. The only catch is that Hathaway requires a minimum three-month subscription in other for users to sign up for its services. Airtel’s plans are pricier but allows you to carry forward data Airtel also has a broadband plan for ₹799 a month but it offers speeds of 40 mbps with data capped at 100GB. Airtel’s V-Fiber broadband is offering another 200GB of additional data for a span of six months within that plan — but it’s a mere fraction of what Jio and Hathaway have up for grabs. Airtel could have a leg up on Jio, depending on the conditions of plans, since it allows users to carry forward any unused data. If you’re looking for speed, Airtel’s 100 mbps plan costs ₹1099 per month with a data cap of 500GB and an additional 300GB for six months. The devil could be in the terms and conditions Jio hasn’t completely disclosed the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/what-are-the-rules-to-apply-for-jio-fiber/articleshow/70891242.cms">details</a> of its <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/how-to-get-jio-fiber-broadband-service/articleshow/70821752.cms">broadband plans</a> and the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/how-reliance-jio-gigafiber-broadband-will-work/articleshow/70821794.cms">many conditions</a> that it could come with. It will have to rival Airtel’s 300 mbps plan pegged at ₹1599 per month that’s offering 600 GB and an addition 1TB for six months. Ambani did disclose that Jio Fiber’s plans, while starting at ₹700, will have options that extend to up to ₹10,000 per month. But, Jio also intends to lock in users with annual plans, and this offer might only be available for a ‘limited’ period. To connect to the services, Jio users will need to make security deposit of ₹4,500 and obtain the ONT device (GigaHub Home Gateway) provided by the company. Those looking to switch internet services should also study the ability of their provider to offer top-notch service, which is essential for broadband services. At the end of the day, it would be bold to replace television with broadband as it all hinges on speed and quality.

The solution to this problem could be satellite broadband connectivity that will cover even remote areas where telecom towers or fibre connections are hard to reach. There are already three companies planning to provide satellite broadband internet in India, and the latest to join is Tata group’s Nelco. According to a <a href="https://m.economictimes.com/industry/telecom/telecom-news/pact-with-telesat-likely-for-satellite-broadband/amp_articleshow/85190916.cms">report</a> by ET Telecom, Nelco is planning to offer satellite broadband services in India through the Canadian firm Telesat’s Lightspeed brand. Both companies are in the final stages of the arrangement, and plan to offer its services in India by 2024, the report added. Satellite broadband services aim to solve problems that mobile internet or fibre broadband can’t but it’s also the most expensive of the three. Tata and Telesat plan to work on the business-to-business (B2B) model wherein the satellite bandwidth will be offered to telcos so that they can provide to areas where mobile connectivity is weak. The two companies also plan to work on ways to make satellite broadband affordable in India. Telesat’s global plan for satellite broadband services include an investment of almost $5 billion for a constellation of around 298 LEO satellites. Although expensive, LEO satellites offer stronger signals and faster speeds than traditional fixed-satellite networks as they orbit closer to the Earth. Telesat and Tata plan to take things further with their satellite broadband services once the new Spacecom policy that should offer better clarity for LEO satellite systems operators and setting up in-country satellite gateways, is out. Telesat will be joining Bharti Enterprises-backed OneWeb, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/elon-musks-starlink-satellite-internet-is-coming-to-india-heres-how-you-can-pre-book-your-connection/articleshow/81268052.cms">Elon Musk’s Starlink</a> and even Amazon for satellite internet in India. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/bharti-led-oneweb-raises-funds-from-softbank-hughes-taking-its-total-funding-to-1-4-billion/articleshow/80297607.cms">OneWeb</a> plans to offer its services in India by May 2022 which would make it the first company to do so.

In 2014, the Indian government infused over ₹110 billion into its ‘Digital India,’ which included plans to bring broadband to as many as 250,000 village councils by the end of 2016, according to the government’s ‘Digital India’ <a href="http://digitalindia.gov.in/content/broadband-highways">website</a>. The findings raise questions on the success of one of the key programs of the <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> government. Earlier this year, the government<a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/tech-news-technology/under-bharatnet-1-1-lakh-gram-panchayats-given-optical-fibre-connectivity-govt-5056162/"> announced</a> that it has already provided optical fibre connectivity to over 110,000 village councils.

To be sure, the number of free test connections provided in rural India is much higher than actual broadband connections, at 56,700, according to the report. However, these test connections are functional only for a short period of six months.

Less than 3% of rural councils in India have functional commercial broadband despite government’s ‘Digital India’ push: Report

<keyword id="3690255" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="jiofiber" source="Orion">JioFiber</keyword> added 0.19 million subscribers to become the number 1 operator in the fixed broadband segment in just about two years from commercial launch, with 4.34mn FBB subs. JioFiber's market share improved 85bp month on month to 16.9 per cent (launched commercially in Sep-19), Nomura said in a report. Bharti added 0.1mn subs to reach 4.08mn FBB subs (up 68% since May-20), with market share up 60bp m-m to 15.9 per cent. <keyword id="57998" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bharat-sanchar-nigam-limited" source="Orion">Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited</keyword>'s (BSNL) market share further declined by 185 bp to 16.4 per cent share (vs 44 per cent pre-JioFiber launch in September'19), the report said. Without significant fund-raising, Vodafone Idea's network investments and 5G rollout would likely remain constrained, at least in the near term. Hence, we expect market share gains to continue for Bharti and R-Jio, the report said. TRAI data for November shows a slight improvement in industry numbers, with Jio gaining market share at the expense of VIL, UBS said in a report. After a large decline in September (driven by the 19mn subscriber loss reported by Jio) and flattish numbers in October, the industry witnessed a slight improvement in November, with overall subscriber base expanding by 1.2mn. Bharti gained 1.3mn subs (-0.5mn in Oct), Jio added 2mn subs (+1.8mn in Oct), while VIL continued to lose market share: it lost 1.9mn subs (versus loss of 1mn and 1.1mn in Oct and Sept respectively). Jio remains the market leader, with a subscriber market share (SMS) of 36.7 per cent (+10bps). Bharti and VIL ended Nov with SMS of 30.4 per cent (flat MoM) and 22.9 per cent (down 20bps) respectively. It is important to note that the tariff hikes were largely applicable from end-November / December, and therefore, December is likely to see some churn, UBS said. In fixed broadband, Jio surpassed BSNL to become the country's largest FBB provider. Jio now has 4.3mn FBB subs (+0.2mn in Nov), followed by BSNL with 4.2mn subs (-0.5mn in Nov) and Airtel with 4.1mn subs (+0.1mn in Nov).

Jio Gigafiber has been the talk of the town since Mukesh Ambani had announced it in the last AGM held last year. What it offers Gigafiber is a mega package offered by Jio, which will offer broadband, TV and fixed landline plans. But it’s not going to be an ordinary plan. Gigafiber is <a href="https://www.livemint.com/industry/telecom/reliance-jio-gigafiber-rollout-jio-phone-3-expected-as-ril-holds-agm-tomorrow-1565503217806.html">reportedly</a> set to offer broadband services at 1 gigabytes per second (GBPS) speed, 600 TV channels and a landline connection – all of this at just ₹600 per month. This will put Jio in direct competition with ACT broadband services, one of the most popular options in India right now. ACT, which is currently India’s largest fiber-based service provider, is also planning a ₹800 crore IPO soon. Jio Phone 3 The AGM is also set to see the launch of Jio Phone 3. The previous two models which were priced at ₹1,500 and ₹2,999 have already been a big hit in the market, for giving smartphone features to a user at the most basic price. Jio Phone 3 is expected to take the features up a notch at an equally affordable price. Can Gigafiber do a Jio? The launch of Gigafiber will be a big boom in the Indian broadband industry because of lower tariffs and higher internet speeds. It is expected to have the same impact that Jio did when it launched. Jio, with its low tariff and faster internet speeds, has seen it become India’s second largest telecom provider within 3 years of its launch.

ACT Fibernet's 100 mbps plan is 37% more expensive than Jio Fiber, but it also offers 25% more data per month. Spectra, an internet service provider operating mostly in Delhi, is nearly twice as expensive but puts no limits on how much data a user can consume in a month.

The only difference is that Jio Fiber has set its data limit at 2,500 GB, where Airtel claims its placing no such restriction on consumption. ACT Fibernet, even ₹2,000 more expensive than Jio Fiber, is offering at extra 1,000 GB per month to its users. The increase in cost isn't proportional to the extra data but could make sense for users that have higher consumption requirements. Spectra's pricing of its 1 gbps plan goes in the other direction. It only offers 500 GB per month but it's also less than half the price of Jio Fiber's Platinum plan at ₹1,549.

Jio Fiber Plans: Here's how Reliance Jio's broadband fiber plans fare against other companies

Telecom giant <keyword id="6354287" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bharti-Airtel">Bharti Airtel</keyword> has entered into an agreement with Nokia Networks to expand its <keyword id="122479" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="4G">4G</keyword> presence in six new circles. Under the agreement, Nokia will be responsible for expansion of Airtel’s 4G presence using the former’s radio network. 
	 
	With the deal signed, users can expect to witness super-fast mobile broadband services in the six circles. It should be noted that Nokia is already a supplier of TD-LTE network to Airtel, and will also deploy TD-LTE on the 2300MHz in 2 other circles. 
	 
	“With our commitment to build an efficient Internet eco-system in India, we continue to introduce new technologies and strengthen our existing capabilities. Having already launched the high-speed 4G services across four circles of India, we are now looking at extending this enriching high-speed broadband experience to new circles on 1800MHz band. Our association with Nokia Networks will help us support our vision and provide a superior 4G network,” said Abhay Savargaonkar, chief technology officer of Bharti Airtel. 
	 
	Commenting on the pact, Sandeep Girotra, Vice President and Head of India Region, Nokia Networks, noted, “We are happy to expand our TD-LTE footprint with Bharti and partner with them to deploy India’s first FDD-LTE in six new circles. Our rich experience gained in deploying FDD-LTE and TD-LTE to operators around the globe will ensure a fast and smooth network rollout. On top of that, our Flexi Zone solution will ensure the best possible LTE performance even in dense areas.” 
	 
	Under the deal, Airtel will get cloud-ready network management system, Net Act, for effective and consolidated monitoring and optimization of the LTE network as well as services such as network planning and optimization, network implementation.

Airtel’s move comes ahead of Jio's commercial launch of JioFiber, which is expected to start commercially in June. "We believe these new plans will also drive the adoption of high-speed broadband in the country,” said Hemanth Kumar Guruswamy, CEO - Homes, Bharti Airtel (India). Airtel had 1.96 million broadband customers as of March 31. In a bid to give tough fight to Jio-Fiber, Airtel will offer speeds of up to 1 GB per second. Airtel also launched 'V-Fiber' services that allow its copper-based fixed-line network to offer up to 100 Mbps to homes. V-Fiber is available where Airtel doesn't have the fibre to offer broadband services. Airtel said fixed broadband will also enable <keyword id="970768" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="internet-of-things">Internet of Things</keyword> services for homes with connected appliances and more in the near future. The telco said its Rs 899 plan will now offer 60 GB highspeed data compared with 30 GB earlier, while the Rs 1,099 plan will offer 90 GB instead of 50 GB.
