i just started using airtel Xstream fiber (Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar islands) with Rs.1079 plan with 3 month package. the quality and range is far better than BSNL Fiber or any. no lag in gaming or video call.
speed?
Bruh what?? Mines like 3000 for 6 months
In fiber internet Service matters .. but the fiber cable under bayofbengal is laid by BSNL & shared theirs core to Airtel.. & Airtel is giving good service than bsnl
@@musicalvibez9837this is the sad reality 😢 if BSNL waa better than private ISPs then they will lose crores of rupees, so it feels like even the government won't allow BSNL or any government facility to develop that much willingly
@@Banditxam4which plan for 3k? I am using act fiber 50 mbps plan and cost is 3800 for 7 months. I am fed up with their service
Been using Airtel Xstream fiber since 2019 in Chennai and it has never let me down. Downtimes are rare and they're fixed quickly.
I was watching your BSNL 3G Speed test opinion video which was 12 years old video. It feels amazing how our(Indians) consumption of Internet has changed over the years. 1GBPS is something unimaginable to get for individual connection. Just WOW.
nah bro i have been using 1gbps since past 4 years now
@@VaibhavKumar1 Rich aaa..
I'm also using Airtel Xtreme Fiber since last year. I use 200 mbps plan 3 months package. It's fluid & reliable. Using it here in Punjab
Price?
Perfect timing. I needed this review. Thanks
I have been using Airtel broadband since 2016 and I am happy with the support and service.
2:08 Those Thursday qna live streams!! Good old days...🙌🏻
I've been using the Airtel Xstream fibre from the past two years and my experience has been fabulous. I am working from my hometown and I love the fact that they have reached the remotest part of the country and there is no compromise with the quality of internet or even service for that matter. Plans are also good. So it happens to be the best ISP so far.
they have reached the remotest part of the country but couldn't reach Diva, which is closer to mumbai and comes under mumbai metropolitan region
Good to see you back sir, you will remain the OG of this techspace 😎
Thanks Ranjit for the detailed video on Airtel ISP..
Had switched to airtel Xtreme recently 300 mbps. I had used Hathway and ACT earlier and their customer service was pathetic. Even i had faced frequent drops while attending teams calls. Now i do not face these issues . Moreover with airtel black plan i m able to reduce the bill amount atleast by around 100 to 200 rupees when i bundle dth, fibre and mobile connections.
Moreover you get to have a landline connection also. The instrument can be connected to the supplied router. This helps elders at home as it is more convenient for them and avoids mobile radiation.
Overall its a good and better experience than other ISP so far.
Very true... Me and my friends have also been using Act internet for more than 10 years and now shifted to Airtel for better connectivity and it is working like a charm.
I can also vouch for that. I have been using Airtel Xstream Fiber for past 2 years. Initially I was on 200 Mbps plan. I also asked for this 6 antenna router and they upgraded me to it. Now for past 9 months I am on 300 Mbps plan. There has been hardly any downtime in last 2 years. Their service is also very responsive.
Thank God for hearing you with great energy sir 😀🙏
Back to the track...continuous video good job Ranjit sir 👍👍
Hi Ranjit, Belated New Year wishes! May the new year bring health and prosperity to you and your family. I am a great fan of yours :) I have been using the Airtel Xstream for last two years. The main challenge I am facing is using my custom mesh routers (Deco X 20) with Airtel Xtream 1 GBPS router. JIO and Airtel does not support adding custom mesh routers to extend the range. It will be nice if you can make a video on internet service providers who support use of custom mesh routers with their Modem/Router.
Hey Ranjit! I can definitely second this opinion from a Mumbai perspective also. Iv been using it for 1.5 years as Airtel Black for DTH+Fiber+Mobile and its been excellent value for money. I am subscribed to the base plan and yet it works seamlessly for multiple TVs, laptops and mobile phones. Also their provided Xstream Set-top box is amazing with great software for a very small one time cost, it was an instant upgrade from LED TV to Smart TV for both TVs, saving big investments in new Smart TVs.
this is a promotional video....not an overall performance video
Jio has the worst stock router ever ,the load times are really high because of it
@@Akash_158It's the exact opposite. If it was sponsored, there would have been a pop-up for it plus he would have mentioned it in the video too as he always does.
Regardless of that, I was sharing my opinion for others in my city who would be looking for other user experiences to help them with their decisions.
Therefore, your comment is irrelevant my good friend.
@@sahildedhia I am confused to see the hashtag in the video. It says collab. Wondering what does that mean.
Edit: Thanks for your personal review. That helped.
@@sahildedhiahe already mentioned it in the description that it's a collab video although geeky ranjit is a very genuine reviewer no doubts on that
The service experience totally depends on the area you live in. There have been couple of times here in Chennai where Airtel did not rectify an outage for more than a week.
I second this. For me it took 13 days to resolve it. They promised me to compensate the amount in the next month's billing amount. I hope they do.
@@Mahieey if they don't approch consumer court
Good to see you back with full of vigor.....Do one review of 100W power banks for Laptops...possible from Anker 737 and/Or Sharge products
I have been using it for more than 7 minrhs now and the experience has been very good. The service did went down a few times but as you rightly said they send an sms telling when it will be back.
I am using 40 mbps plan
ranjit sir has been using airtel connections for a quite a long time now ,i remember him doing the 4mbps plan speedtest in 2011
Watching this video in 4k at 1.75x speed with 63% signal strength and luterally zero loading time, i have the Airtel black fiber plan with 40mp/s and most of the time it serves me well, been using since 2022 and haven't faced any major network issues in my area.
Good to see you post videos so frequently now
Hey ranjit, do you use airtel provided streaming apps or channels on tv or you smart TV interface? How's the experience with that?
Legend back with regular videos ❤🎉🎉😅
User experience varies based on the location. Airtel fiber is above average in my area. Service disruption occurs at least twice or thrice a month. Engineer takes 1-2 days to fix it. Sometimes they fix the issue on the same day or the next day. I can’t fully rely on Airtel so I started using ACT fibernet as well with load balancing.
I have faced the similar issue with airtel so I switched to Jio Fiber
Dope Video, after watching this i feel like i am living in cave as i have local wifi connection which provide speed of 15 MBPS in monthly bill of Rs. 700, and using it for PS4 Pro, 5 mobiles in home, and for Smart TV 📺,
I had good experience with Airtel broadband yet. I consider Airtel amongst the best service providers in India. I was so impressed that I ended up buying their stock as well, which is also giving me amazing returns 😊
Very very very happy to see you BACK
The enhanced customer he said about is actually a game changer. in this they also provide free repair visits
Airtel has installed 3 connection boxes on the roof of my apartment. I am using from the last 5 months and I can say it's value for money. I have 40Mbps connection. But the speed I get is above 50Mbps. 2 mobiles, 1 laptop and 1 tv is connected to it and it handles extremely well. I am from Patna, Bihar and service here is excellent till now. In 5 months I have experience 2 cable break issue as metro work is going around and Airtel took around 12-15 hours to resolve as the connection cut took place in the night.
In the last 5 years and 4 ISP's. I have felt Airtel to be the most stable and with the best stock router that didn't need restart every couple days (the huawei one they gave around 2018).
I only switched because I liked Jio's OTT plan(899) at only 100 extra from Airtel's(799) and will definitely switch back if airtel introduces something similar.
Although the pricing is higher than most. But the pro rata basis is very nice. You can increase or decrease the speed as required on the app and pay on per day basis. And it switches within minutes.
Hi, is pro rata basis available in prepaid connection also? How many times can you change the plan?
@@BrijrajJadeja007 i didn't even know airtel offered prepaid for fixed line. Although it doesn't make sense since you already have paid for the designated speed for the duration.
They allow switching as soon as it gets updated in the app, you only have to contact customer care when you want to select 499 plan (40mbps) because it is not available in the app.
i have been using airtel broadband since 2008 and i have always had excellent service although back then it was expensive but airtel has never failed to impress me in terms of their broadband service
I was an Airtel Xstream Fiber user for more than 2 years.
Honestly speaking, the overall experience including customer serivce, internet speed and connection stability was excellent only for 19 odd months.
After that the my experience got deteriorated, also I never got any help from the customer service. Things became worse when (leaving alone the broadband) last month my mobile data also stopped working in airtel sim. I have now switched to jio, I hope it doesn't get bad just like airtel got in my case.
I have been using Jio Fibre for the last two years. It's good too. 😊
I also have ACT and I am pretty happy with it too
I remember you video 9 years ago about the galaxy grand 2 ❤
Using since 2018 and very stable since last 3 years. There were performance issues during 2018/2019 period, but they fixed it.
Appreciate Airtel on this i also use Airtel broadband since 2years only thing is bad it's expensive 589 it should b 350 to 400
Love Airtel service, stable connection and no long outages.
For quality definitely Airtel stoods at the Top, I'm not using Airtel Fibre but recently Ported my Jio SIM to Airtel and the experience was Amazing, specially while traveling one can realise the Importance of a Uninterrupted Connection, where the Network of Airtel comes into place, it really worths the MNP.
Great video Ranjit!
Can you also make a video on how customizable is the modem/router provided by airtel?
I have been using airtel xstream since 2016, they great service during downtimes
Hope your well and fine Sir ❤
I switched from jio fiber to Airtel Xstream and now I'm really happy with the upgrade ❤
Thank you Ranjit sir😊
This video was really required....airtel is expanding its network in many socities near kokapet and narsingi...dont know about users but this video ia very good for airtel...😂
Airtel is a really good option. Only problem I have faced here in Mumbai is during the monsoon season our services were down every 15 - 20 days for about a couple of hours. Otherwise with respect to ping and speeds it is really good.
We had the same issue but everytime it rained the service was down for a day they checked and said water is entering the distribution box we asked when the issue will be fixed they said they don't plan on changing the box so I switched to jio but I had no issues with Airtel for 5-6 years that I used.
@@vilehunter0074So are you facing the issue with jio?
@@guyofnewage no issue till date for jio except the accidental wire cut by someone in flats that too they resolved in 2 hrs was one of the first connection in our area but heard some of them have been having frequent disconnect in it I didn't have any
@@vilehunter0074 Thanks, i am based out of Mumbai and was juggling between jio and Airtel.
@@guyofnewage if Airtel is upgrading stuff regularly in your location then both are good but my area is not inside City so they don't update things regularly
Ranjit Sir, though the service of Airtel is better but I was trying to get connection in Pune city since mid of 2019, I am not able to get connection as there is no feasibility at both places I wish. Airtel fibre broadband is available only in selected big societies and commercial offices but not in other small buildings, bungalows and houses. Jio fiber is having same situation. Hence I can think of situation in rural areas.
Good service. I have been using it for the last 14 months. My smart TV runs without buffering even though I am on 499/40 Mbps plan.
Yeah same for me
Same
It should handle 2 4k streams easily
I have also the Xstream connection, the 200Mb/s plan.
Have been using it for more than 1 year now and yes it's pretty good, the reliability/uptime is very good, and when things went wrong, they fixed it pretty quickly :)
The best thing is that on a single source I get around 350-400Mb/s and with the multi-source I get around 750-800Mb/s this is just crazy :)
The only thing I don't like is the provided router, it's the old one with 2 antennae, it doesn't have features like QoS, Wi-Fi 6 and the range is also poor.
I mean you can’t complain cuz 95% of users won’t need the features you mentioned
@@gliderman9302
yeah that's true but range is an issue.
A quick fix would be to just buy an external ap and turn off wifi from the isp router
Or, you can get something like a raspberry pi and run openwrt on it and use it as your router, with an external ap. This way the isp router just bridges the connection and you get full control and all the features you could want.
@@Prakyy Yess !
I don't think anyone else beside Tata provides Wifi 6 in India and that too is in initial stages right now. Even Wifi 5hz is not as widespread as it should be.
Hi Ranjit, hope you're feeling better now. If I use Airtel xstream fiber with my own router (TP LINK XE5400, a Triband wifi 6E modem), would it add any value as compared to a low grade wifi 5 modem provided by Airtel ?
Moved to Airtel Black with postpaid + Broadband. Seems to be good and cost saving!
Soon will be going with Airtel Dish😃
Hi Ranjit,
Can you try excitel fiber and add up your views on the same
Nice video
Can we have a review of smart home or IOT devices you use the most or the ones that make life actually better and are not a gimmick
Same here. Been a long time Airtel user (16 years), the airtel peeps upgraded my wifi to xstream fiber in 2019. Been a good experience so far with good reliability, amazing download and upload speeds, low latency and as you mentioned whenever there is maintenance they send out an sms beforehand.
The only thing I still complain is not having the option to change the channel on router. Do you have any solutions to this and would you recommend to get a new router?
Hello Sir, Happy New Year in Advance. 🎉
Back on track Sir ... keep going....👍👏
Could you please post a video, how we can connect this airtel broadband connection from the modem they have provided to external routers or mesh systems.
MashAllah welcome back bhai.
Yes make more experience based videos
I've used multiple fiber connection at different locations of India. While cheking speed test response time with outside server is far more important than default ping response and bandwidth.
My pick will more towards leased line instead of taking more bandwidth (gbps)
Pro advice: avoid vendor local isp
local vendor: 590 rupees with gst 80mbps (almost no internet issue) airtel :950 with gst..100mbps on paper but damnn its slow a times
@@ParichayChatterjee because you're the lucky one 😆
I have been using GTPL Broadband for 2 years now. And they offer 50 Mbps plan at 5500rs for 12 Months. Considering that and the service they provide is just excellent and I think it's more value for money than Jio or Airtel.
But it may vary from area to area.
What is the ipv6 block you are being assigned? Is it /64? There is one more advantage. Unlike jio airtel does offer static ip @200/month
I have been using the Airtel 50 Mbps plan. But I get more than 100Mbps during speed tests. The connection is stable and the never experienced latency issues. Thank you Airtel!
How should I use Airtel with my existing Deco setup? Seems like I either have to connect Deco in AP mode which disables most of its features.. or switch the Airtel ONT to bridge mode but that seems risky since I don't know my PPPoE password
Using from past 1yrs. Best service

He might have taken money from airtel but he is honest also. I following him since last 11 years. So there is no harm in saying truth and earning money ❤❤❤
Ranjeet sir , did you get Airtel telephone service bundle with Airtel fibre connection?
I'm using Airtel Xstream fiber connection with 100 MBPS plan for around 3 years. I'm also very satisfied with the consistency of the speed and range of the router. Especially when it comes to speed. I get around 130mbps download and 120mbps upload.
Best part is service, Airtel uses real time monitoring system. Thus most of the time you Don't have to register complaint regarding any Outage. It automatically identify the outage and trust me their engineers already starts working before you complain. I can say because the distribution box is just in front of my house. Every time when there is outage, within 30 mins I see engineers working in front of me.
If you want new router just apply for disconnection and then new connection. They will change your router with same wiring or you change wiring too. It is better than Jio fiber for sure.
Using Airtel Xstream for about 2 years now, can vouch for the the sms notifications, they are very helpful and the service is one of the best or the best maybe, their guys are like at my home within a few hours of making a complaint. I have not tried any other provider, never found a good enough reason to.
He is on a roll
Hi Sir, I recide in Delhi, I used to have the same 1Gbyte plan but I had to downgrade because of connectivity issues and range issues.
Airtel xstream service is extremely good and very reliable. Ive also been using it for over 2 years and couldnt be more happier. 100 mbps plan for yearly recharge
airtel xstream fiber is best .. im using since last 2 years ...zero interruption for WFH
I'm using Airtel Xtreme since May '2020. But I'm also having BSNL Fibre as standby, as very often Airtel Xtreme gets disconnected.
I'm also using Airtel Xstream finer for like 2+ years so this one is from a common consumer and also a gamer, the plan I have opted is 40 Mbps I live in small town so this plan also works very well for me and I have smart TV so I do watch 4k movies on it varies platforms like Netflix,Zee5,Amazon,Hotstar and I never felt buffer on it also I there's 4 devices in use most of the times so depending on this much devices 40 Mbps works smoothly for me, Also as of being gamer I do competitive gaming online fps games which requires low latency and low ping and Airtel delivers that pretty well too also I do live streaming also while playing and I never felt like that my ping drops or my stream buffer
That's from my side of end user experience.
Airtel xtreme fiber connection was stable for me in the last one and half year, after recent disruption in chennai, I have switched to ACT fiber recently
I am currently having a JioFiber connection with very similar experience! So, I think Airtel and Jio are currently at the top, for the Home Fiber Internet experience...
Will you make any non-sponsored videos for a change?
I agree with you. Airtel is the best especially for low ping gaming
I have used Airtel in 2-3 circles last in Mumbai and Kolkata, Kolkata I needed to have a backup connection as well had frequent disconnection issues and also similar experience in Mumbai hence moved away
Jio Fiber has been pretty good for me, it went down for a couple times in the last year but they put it back on faster than Airtel. Here in West Delhi
Its really great, I have JIO Fibre as well but it sucks.
When can we expect a video on your Omada setup?
Can you please make a video on wifi radiations and how to work around any risks involved.
Been using Airtel fiber since last 3 years, first Fiber broadband in my city after BSNL (which sucks)
In the first month, even after my recharge ended..it was working, mistakenly restarted my router and it stopped
I had been using Airtel Xstream Fiber in Guwahati for 2 years and honestly, I had a fair amount of issues. It's not the most reliable (at least here), there were several connection drops after midnight. Quite a lot of downtime for maintainance work. Airtel also had major latency issues in games. Switched to Jio, it has been over a year now, no major problems so far.
Same here Airtel also have too much maintenance Breakdown and Secondly They Also donot give fair Compensation only at most 1-2 day extension that too you have to complaint and send mail
completely agree chennai
@@gavaskar761chennai ambattur worst always it goes down bcz of storm water management work.. in this chennai flood mine went down for 20 days
same thing for delhi also in my area there were so much downtime and then i switched to act fibernet which works best and also half price for 1 gbps connection at only 1999 per month
Ranjit's new salt and pepper look is dapper.
I'm using 40mbps plan xtreme fiber... In my home 4 smartphone and 1 smart tv... They working fully fine...
Im also using airtel xtreme fiber from last 2 years. Happy with it before that i was using Netplus which speed wise good but very bad service.
Any Suggestion for third party wifi 6 router for Airtel fiber broadband
Good information video
I have used Airtel, Jio and Act fiber in Hyderabad. Act is by far the best. The latency is so low everything openes almost instantly. Sometimes Airtel/Jio takes few ms to load. Although the issue is on low side. Not a major concern. But if I have option of all 3 I would choose Act.
As ranjeet explained he has postpaid Airtel for family then it might be convenient to have Airtel black over Act.
Act customer care is down right pathetic
@@CrazyHunk14 Fortunately didn't had any issue this year to call customer service. Will see once I run into an issue. Thanks for the heads up.
@@pratyushsharma6655 I pray for you that you didn't get any!:)
Amazed that you had good exp with ACT. In the prime area of Gachibowli, I literally suffered with ACT. Had to restart router almost daily to get it working, never picked up full speed. Not to mention fortnight down time, without any notice. Main hub would go down with power.
Just wish that you continue to get good service, because when you don't you will have a hard time with disconnection. I had to raise a complaint on consumer forum to get my money back.
@@vishaayush omg that's exactly what happened to me! I paid for 6 months 10k because of the service issue I raised a disconnection request after 3 months they didn't listen then finally when they did disconnect no one is picking my call for the refund luckily I got their premium tplink wifi 6 router which is around 4k worth and for which they called me that they want to pick that up and when I asked what about my refund for the remaining 3 months? They said first give us the router we will surely refund lmao l🤣 now I am not picking their calls. If not the router I probably would follow the same consumer forum route these guys are totally unprofessional and I would never ever recommend it to anyone
Please review some budget projector like wzatco Yuva plus etc.
Can I buy my own equipment to connect to the optic fiber network i.e. not use the box provided by the network carrier
very good video.
80 mbps and a good 3rd party wifi router works absolutely fine for 8+ devices. Comfortable continuous 4k streaming on tv is also possible. Always invest in a good router, not on a high speed subscription.
How widespread is FTTP in India? I'm curious because here in the UK, it's still being rolled out. There are parts of London still stuck with VDSL.
Very widespread...almost every city and village has it.
In India, you will easily get 1gbps fiber symmetric speed (Airtel, jio, Tata Play, Act, and some other local providers) in every tier 1, 2, and 3 cities, and max 300 Mbps symmetric speed in rural India (BSNL). (FUP-3.3TB)
Literally, none of the providers uses any type of copper line (ADSL, VDSL, or FTTC).
There is no strict law about fiber laying even in big cities so, it is much more cost-effective to lay the fiber cable above the ground for FTTH connection. Although widespread of FTTH is much better than many developed countries.
Some of the providers in London like CFL, YOU Fibre use XGS-PON network to deliver multi-gig speed, hopefully, you will get a FTTH soon.
Please review the upcoming RedmiNote13pro...will be grateful to you sir
I use Airtel Xstream Fiber and I live in Begur, Bangalore. For me the latency is low but many a times my ping spikes are very apparent and adheres my gaming. Thinking of switching to ACT.
Switch to ACT.
For South Indian places, Chennai or Bengaluru I'd recommend ACT as the ping times are significantly better compared to Airtel @@nikhilpatil263
Jio best ❤
Even in many remote areas in my state Chhattisgarh people will go over Jio (in terms of price) and go for Airtel, it's gives much more consistent internet experience unlike Jio
