Jio AirFiber vs Airtel Xstream AirFiber
Unlike Jio, Airtel has only introduced a single plan at the moment. The company has introduced a six-month plan that is priced at ₹799 per month. On top of this, users will have to pay an additional ₹2,500 security.

The Airtel Xstream AirFiber plan offers speeds of up to 100 Mbps. It competes with Jio’s ₹899 plan. The Airtel plan is currently available in Delhi and Mumbai.

Unlike Jio’s plans, the Airtel Xstream AirFiber does not come with access to OTT apps or digital channels. If you are looking for a 100 Mbps plan without any subscriptions, you can go with Airtel’s plan, which is slightly cheaper. However, Jio’s plans offer better benefits and allow you to change your speeds based on your needs.
