In the last few years, broadband speeds in India have seen massive growth. A recent report by Ookla suggests that India’s fixed median download speeds increased to nearly 50Mbps in November 2022. India also happens to be one of the countries with the most affordable broadband plans, with some internet service providers like JioFiber offering unlimited data starts Rs 399 per month. Here, we will be taking a quick look at some of the best broadband plans from Airtel, JioFiber and ACT Fibernet in Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai under Rs 1,000.
Airtel has four broadband plans which cost less than Rs 1,000 per month. It doesn’t matter if you happen to live in Chennai, Bengaluru or Delhi, Airtel broadband plans cost the same throughout the country. If you happen to opt for a yearly or six-month plan, the installation is completely free of charge, while those going with a monthly plan will need to pay Rs 1,000 for installation. All plans come with a free Wi-Fi router.
The cheapest broadband plan from Airtel called ‘Basic ‘costs Rs 499 per month and offers speeds up to 40 Mbps. Some additional benefits include unlimited local and STD calls, 12-month Xstream Premium subscription and access to Wynk Music and Apollo.
Next is the ‘Standard’ plan, which offers speeds up to 100 Mbps along with unlimited voice calls and includes additional benefits like access to Xstream premium, Apollo and Wynk Music.
If you want more speed and access to OTT platforms, the ‘Entertainment’ plan might cater to you. Apart from speeds up to 200 Mbps and unlimited voice calls, you get access to Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime membership, Xstream premium, Apollo and Wynk Premium. It costs Rs 999 per month.
