8 years ago Admin 0
Bharti Airtel announced the launch of its V-Fiber broadband service which offers speed up to 100 Mbps. The V-fiber technology deployed will provide an amazing experience with its speed on fixed broadband services. The technology is live in Chennai starting today and it will be rolled out to 87 more cities soon starting with Delhi & NCR and Bengaluru.
According to the company new subscribers will get three months of free service under trial offer. Airtel also announced unlimited free voice calling to all customers, that was previously available on selected plans only. V-Fiber’ is based on Vectorization , which is Europe’s No. 1 fixed broadband technology. Airtel is the first operator in India to deploy Vectorization.
“India is witnessing an explosive growth in data usage and a lot of in-home data consumption is happening over fixed broadband that offers consistent speeds. With ‘V-Fiber’ and our national optic fiber backbone, we are all set to offer a future-ready network for tomorrow’s digitally connected homes,” Ajai Puri, Director – Operations, Bharti Airtel said in a statement.
“This solution, besides reducing our carbon footprint, offers a very quick and convenient upgrade to the customer. We are also delighted to launch our innovative myHome Rewards and unlimited free voice calling facility for our customers,” he added.
The company notes the processing of upgrading to the V-Fiber network will not require it to dig up roads or re-wire, instead, existing customers will only require a new modem to enjoy faster broadband. Both Existing and new customers can register or pre-book on company’s official website. Existing customers can upgrade to V-Fiber technology speeds and get faster data speeds at no monthly extra-cost.
“If they are not happy with the service within one month, Airtel will refund the modem charges and the amount will be adjusted in the next bill cycle,” the company said.
We think this move is taken to ensure tough competition with upcoming Reliance Jio Fiber and other broadband service providers. Let us know your view about the same in the comments.
