Bharti Airtel, India’s largest telecommunications services provider has deployed ‘V-Fiber’ technology to offer superfast broadband speeds to its customers. Airtel is the first operator in India to deploy Vectorization.
Airtel said that the ‘V-Fiber’ technology which is based on Vectorization can deliver speeds of up to 100 Mbps on Airtel’s fixed broadband footprint in 87 cities.
The new offering is ready for Airtel customers in Chennai and will be rolled out across Airtel’s national broadband network in the coming weeks. With ‘V-Fiber’, Airtel has brought fiber closer to homes by deploying additional capacity up to colonies and neighbourhoods and has also upgraded its local exchanges with equipment to handle fiber speeds.
According to Airtel, the new service will enable HD video streaming, heavy file downloads and uploads in a multi-device environment (over Wi-Fi). More importantly, there is no new wiring, drilling etc. required at an existing customer’s premises. One simply needs to upgrade to a new modem to experience ‘V-Fiber’ speeds.
Existing Airtel broadband customers can upgrade to ‘V-Fiber’ speeds with their current plan and enjoy superfast data speeds at no extra monthly cost. If they are not happy with the service within one month, Airtel said it will refund the modem charges and the amount will be adjusted in the next bill cycle. New customers will also get Unlimited three months trial offer.
