• If you are putting in the request from your home, you can also click on ‘I want the installation at my current location.’ The system will automatically detect your location.
• Now click on the ‘Submit’ button to proceed.

If the Airtel broadband is available in your mentioned area, you will get a prompt that an Airtel representative will contact you for further process. In case, the broadband is not available in your area, you will get a prompt stating the same.

Further process for installing Airtel broadband at your home

After you have completed the feasibility check and it’s confirmed that your area has Airtel Xstream fiber broadband, you can move forward with further steps. They are mentioned below.

Payment process to apply for Airtel broadband

An Airtel representative will contact you to confirm the feasibility and discuss more about the broadband plans. Once you are sure about the broadband plan you wish to install, you can make the payment online. The fee will include broadband monthly charges and installation charges, if any. In most of the cases, the installation fee is waived off for long term plans. If it’s a monthly plan, the installation charges come up to Rs. 1000.

Document Verification to get Airtel broadband

Once the payment is made, an Airtel representative will visit your home for the document verification process. Keep an identity proof and address proof, along with your passport size photo ready for the process. It will take up to 30-60 minutes. You can schedule a time comfortable for you with the local representative.

Installation and Activation process

The last step of the process is installation of the router and activation. Airtel broadband executives will visit your home at a time you are comfortable with and install the router. You can ask them questions about the speed, connectivity during weather change, router security, and more. Your connection will be activated on the same day.

Once your connection is activated and installed, you can run a network speed test to check the speed of your wifi connection. Most of the good wifi connections achieve at least 80% of the promised speed.
