The Rs 799 AirFiber plan has been there since the launch. It offers 100Mbps speed, along with access to the Airtel Xstream app only. That said, it does not include any other OTT benefit or live TV channels as both the newly launched ones offer. Moreover, users also don’t get the option to club this plan with the Airtel Black plan.
In terms of speed, the Rs 799 and Rs 999, both offer 100Mbps. However, the Rs 999 plan also comes with the added benefit of a free Disney+ Hotstar subscription and free Android TV 4K box.
