Bharti Airtel launches 'unlimited' broadband plans starting at Rs 499

Airtel said its new and revised plans will be rolled out from September 7 across 125 cities where the company has operations, and in new cities where it will gradually expand its footprint

On the heels of Reliance Jio offering cheap broadband services, Bharti Airtel on Sunday launched “unlimited” category broadband plans starting at Rs 499 per month. These will come bundled with subscription to video entertainment apps and high-definition set-top boxes against a refundable deposit.

Airtel said it had enhanced high-speed data usage limit (fair-usage policy) by up to 23 times in the revised plans to 3,500 gigabytes.

Last week, Jio had announced new plans for JioFiber broadband starting at a monthly price of Rs 399 with no limit on data usage. This is, by far, the lowest price for broadband services.
