Airtel eliminates FuP limit on broadband plans in Hyderabad ahead of Jio's GigaFiber launch

This move by Airtel comes a couple of days after Reliance Jio unveiled its GigaFiber broadband service in the country. Airtel is expected to do the same for other regions as well.

Reliance Jio recently announced its Jio GigaFiber broadband service and it seems that as a response, Airtel is eliminating Fair Usage Policy (FUP) from its own broadband plans. The change is currently being reflected only for Airtel broadband users in Hyderabad, but the company could do the same for other regions too. In addition, the telco has streamlined its broadband plans in the city and is now offering four plans instead of five. The telco is also offering savings of up to 15 percent if one purchases a plan for six months. The benefit goes up to 20 percent if one pays for a year of Airtel broadband connection. However, there is no data rollover, or Amazon Prime Subscription available with any of these plans.
