AIRTEL BROADBAND LAUNCHES ADDITIONAL DATA USAGE PACKS

Airtel Broadband customers irked about the fair
usage policy and high-speed data transfer limits on
their ‘unlimited’ plans might be happy to learn of the
company’s latest announcement. Now, instead of
settling for a lower bandwidth after reaching their data
usage limits, customers can purchase additional data
usage packs called Smartbytes.
Airtel Smartbytes range from 1GB to 50GB, and start
from Rs. 99. Apart from “augmenting their high speed
data transfer limit”, Airtel Broadband customers will
now have a way to track their monthly data usage,
with notifications about their billing cycle and the
amount of data left in their plan. Airtel already sends
notifications to customers when they’ve reached 80%
and 100% of their high speed data transfer limits.
To use the Airtel Smartbyte service, customers
who’ve used more than 80% of their data transfer limit
plancan log on to airtel.in/smartbytes via their Airtel
DSL connection, and opt for their choice of additional
data usage packs, which have been listed below with
their pricing:
1GB for Rs. 99 10GB for Rs. 499
2GB for Rs. 159 20GB for Rs. 799
5GB for Rs. 299 50GB for Rs. 1,499
Speaking on the launch of the service, K. Srinivas -
President, Consumer Business, Bharti Airtel, said:
“Airtel is committed to its journey of enabling
customers to enjoy a high speed browsing experience.
Smartbytes will give our customers a simple and smart
option of augmenting their high speed data transfer
limit as and when they want to. This will empower
customers who are looking at enhancing their data
usage limits for a continued high speed experience to
make more informed choices.”
