Chor company. V-fiber is not on fiber. And what surprise did they give 2gb additional data on top of 130gb my monthly quota.

Vfiber is not the traditional optical fiber. It is in fact very thin copper cables which uses the vectorization technology to deliver 100Mbps speeds. Since Airtel has now been able to lay the cables across different cities in the country, it is offering up to 1000GB free data with its plans.

Sorry to burst your bubble, vfiber is POS. It is nothing new, just a vdsl connection on the existing copper wires. They can use any fancy name to fool the gullible customers. Also how many people are getting 100mbps? They are not even able to provide 20mbps to most of the subscribers.
