for 6 months Jio Fiber charges 2824.92 (399 (base plan) X 1.18(18% GST) X 6(months)) for 30Mbps plan along with 15 days extra benefit.
Total cost comes down to 2824.92 - 235.41 (Total cost of 1 month/2 i.e. 470.82/2) = 2589.51 rupees
Similarly Airtel Xstreme Fiber charges 3003 for 6 months for 40 Mbps plan.
Total cost comes down to 3003 - 300 (Airtel Axis Card 25% max benefit upto 300) = 2703
Now, I am confused. I have Jio Fiber 30 Mbps plan. Should I jump to Airtel? I have seen @Original bhai's post regarding extra speed boost given in Airtel. Is it true till today?
Jio Fiber's plan is expiring on 13th. I don't need any OTT etc you know. And I heard Airtel's broadband plan is postpaid. Is it true?

One can seamlessly upgrade by paying the difference amount. |
No idea |
Router space taken ll be small. |
Antennas make the router bulky |
Range is shorter. |
Wide range. |
|
I am using for more than 2 years. Only major downtime was 2~3 hrs max. Total 5-6 minor downtime of duration 5~20 min the morning |
People are giving rad reviews about it. |
Some websites are blocked by Jio. |
Most of them are accessible. Both Jio and Airtel have blocked websites but Jio has some more I think Credit: @LG50 |
Deep packet inspection |
No info available |
Right now idle latency of my connection is 7ms |
Airtel is also very competent Latency on online gaming: Airtel is slightly better than Jio as Ping is less in Airtel. Credit: @LG50 |
For 30 Mbps, Jio does not give any speed boost. |
Airtel gives 20% speed boost. For 40 Mbps, you will get min 47~48 Mbps speed. |
|
OTT content: No OTT for 399 base plan OTT Content for Jio: They give 100rs OTT plan which includes Lionsgate, Universal+, Jio Cinema, Eros Now, ShemarooMe, Alt Balaji Credit: @LG50 |
Airtel gives: Sony Live, Erosnow, Lionsgateplay, hoichoi,shemaru.me, hungamaplay, ultra, EpicOn, Docubay, ShortsTV, Dollywood, divo, klikk with 499 plan. Valid for my circle only. OTT Content for Airtel: They provides OTT Platform on 1000rs plan and above Credit @LG50 |
No affordable combo TV + DTH plan. I have not done any reasearch. I might be wrong. |
DTH + Above OTTs + 40 Mbps plan with Disney Hotstar at 699. If I pair it with Airtel Axis offer then total cost comes down to 618.55. If I take 500 as cost of broadband for 118.55 you will be getting OTT + DTH + Disney Hotstar |
No dedicated Credit Card Partnership |
Airtel Axis Card with joining n annual fee of 500+GST |
One Plan For Entire India |
Plan remains the same but benefits like OTT etc varies with circle |
Airtel fiber is gud, I'm using 100 mbs plan but getting more than 200 mbps speed from last few months. im getting this speed may b bcoz of postpaid connection 
I have a 300 Mbps Airtel black to the customised plan but getting only 325-350 mbps. Please suggest to get this much speed
Fyi - 2 postpaid connection and fiber in this Airtel black plan
Airtel 500 n Jio 470 with gst.. 🙂
Jio fiber is best. But there is a problem with their router. 5ghz band sometimes automatically gets disconnected from all connected devices all at once and it will not let you connect for 1-2 mins. You will get denied access. I replaced the router second time yesterday. Lets see if this issue still persists. 
It's True, i have recently switched to Airtel Fibre, and I have noticed their 200 Mbps connection plan is giving sometimes more than 400Mbps, Its speed fluctuations are very high and useful sometimes. On 200Mbps plan, normally getting 250-270 on 5GHz, but it is also true that sometimes Router disconnects the 5Ghz band and unable to connect it until we restart it.
Use Airtel axis card for payment, 40 mbps plan will be chiper than jio
Jio costs around 2585 (2820 - 235(free 15 days))=2585
Recently switched to Jio Fiber from Airtel Xtreme after using it for 18 months, the only reason I switched is because Jio provides OTT apps subscriptions for free with their plans and also it recently came to my place. I tested, both are really good at their services. I initially took 30 MBPS plan in Jio since Airtel is already running for this month with 40 MBPS plan, will later switch to 100 MBPS plan in Jio.
One the same boat bikibhai, was going to make the thread on next week.
Been using Jiofiber for a long time, almost 0 downtime thanks to underground cabling. Current lease is going to expire on month end, and wanted to install Airtel for a quick switch in case of price hike in future.
Only downside of switching/opting for a fresh connection is both providers sells minimum 6 months for their entry level plans. So, clock will be fixed with same speed and tenure. per month calculation will not be the best way to compare with local small tenure plans.
On a side note, Jio withdrawn all the trial, referral benefits while I can still find referral benefit in Airtel.
No experience of airtel & jio but go with whichever provide better service/support in your area but on an average I have heard airtel fiber having better support than jio.
P.S. Both have a hidden FUP of around 3.2TB per month as per online comments & the reason why I don't prefer them but good enough for a typical user. 
pay jio fiber with amazon voucher/balance for discount,
for non ott packs if the availability is the same in your area take the cheaper one.
In my area a lot of people have jio connection due to which jio is a bit more stable and their customer care is quick to respond.
In general speed doesn't differ too much between both though jio does too much tracking compared to Airtel, but in teir 2 3 cities mota bhai will have better cooperation with the government so more stability for jio.
P.S. sometimes issues on jiofibre are due to there shitty dns rather than network itself. go to you router settings and change dns to cloudflare(1.1.1.2 and 1.0.0.2) it will disable voip calls but connection will become better
no inputs from my end as both jio fiber and airtel xstream are not available in my locality (in tier 1 city), have used mtnl, tikona, hathway, tata play fiber and now on excitel. excitel currently providing the VFM plans and excellent customer support till now , recharged for a year directly after trying for 3 months.
30Mbps is plenty enough for my needs for now. Heck even slower won't be an issue thanks to ads being blocked. I will prefer Jio Fiber over Airtel due as the former is available as Prepaid. Anyway I am trying to close all my Airtel connections. Just yesterday ported one Airtel no. to Jio for free. Might not close the DTH connection though.
@bikidas2060 bro i applied for airtel fiber. btw did u final any laptop?
Waiting for the sales, bhau
Yes wat i observed is when there's increased latency time,its effecting wfh experience.
Stick to your Jio Fiber 30 Mbps prepaid plan.
* Haven’t had any downtime in past 2 years, not even a random minute’s downtime.
* prepaid is good, I can always not recharge for x days when I am on a trip or not at home for any reason.
* I can always recharge for the speed I want, though 30Mbps is more than enough, but occasionally due to work purpose I needed higher speed, just Pre planned and recharged with higher plans in such cases.
Lastly with the 5G unlimited at this moment .. un utilised bandwidth is too much, talking about unlimited 1Gpbs speed going down the drain.
Why not Exitel , getting 300 Mbps unlimited @ 501 rs / month as welcome offer, check website
Not available in my location 😔
Have used first Airtel 100mbps plan. Got around 125 to 140 mbps speed. Later i felt 40mbps is enough for me and shifted to that plan. As of now getting not less than 48mbps speed.
Am recharging my bb plan as PREPAID ONLY. its not postpaid.
Bhai does Airtel router take more physical space? Just asking.
This s the only space it took. U can easily manage
i have both airtel and jio fiber, if you watch TV or have any dth like tata sky , airtel or whatever DTH , i will recommend move to jio fiber and give 200 extra and you get All Tv channel ott etc. i am using it and not recharging my tata sky.
if you dont have tv or you only want Data service then airtel fiber is good because for 40 mbps you get 50mbps , on jio if you opt 30mbps it will give 30mbps only.
before i was using airtel fiber prepaid , i also have axis airtel credit card and i used to get 25% cashback 147 rupees , so it costs me 443 per month and plus i used to recharge my dth for 300 , it used to cost me 743 per month minus some discounts on dth recharge and final cost was 680 approx. ( i used rupay platinum card to recharge apay wallet with 20% off and ten used to recharge dth)
but now i have jio fiber with jio tv plan for 30mbps at 599+gst= 707 Rupees and now also i use apay to recharge my jio fiber on myjio app , as myjio has option to pay from apay wallet . i use rupay platinum card to add money for 20% off on Friday . so it costs me 707-20%= 565 only with all OTT , all Tv channels . ott can be run on mobile devices also.
for jio 30mbps speed is enough for me , i my home 3 mobile , 1 tv , 2 laptops runs whole day and youtube runs 4k . so for me jio fiber is currently best deal.
as per above details, choose which situation you have.
you can DM me anytime i will help you as much as i can.

Like you, i wanted plain vanilla Fiber connection, so opted for Airtel.
First i was on 100 Mbps plan and later downgraded to 40 Mbps.
Speeds then 120-125, now 47+ Mbps
I don't know which one is best among Jio and Airtel but for last 17+ months, the connection was pretty smooth.
