Bhopal, 3rd January 2017: Bharti Airtel (“Airtel”), India’s largest telecommunications
services provider, today announced launch of ‘V-Fiber’ in Bhopal, to offer superfast broadband to its customers.
‘V-Fiber’ is based on Vectorization - Europe’s No. 1 fixed broadband technology – and will deliver speeds of up to
100 Mbps over Airtel’s existing broadband footprint in the city. This launch is an important milestone in Airtel’s
journey, which commenced its fixedline operations from Bhopal in 1998.
‘V-Fiber’ will transform the home broadband for Airtel customers with consistently superfast data speeds and enable
HD video streaming, heavy file downloads and uploads in a multi-device environment (over Wi-Fi).
‘V-Fiber’ is a green technology and there is no new wiring, drilling etc. required at an existing customer’s
premises. One simply needs to upgrade to a new ‘V-Fiber’ modem.
Airtel is the first operator in India to deploy Vectorization technology, which turbo charges the last mile copper
with advanced noise elimination technology (just like in audio systems) to deliver superfast data speeds. With
V-Fiber, Airtel has brought fiber into colonies & neighborhoods and upgraded exchanges.
Existing Airtel broadband customers can upgrade to ‘V-Fiber’ speeds to enjoy superfast data speeds at no extra
monthly cost. If they are not happy with the service within one month, Airtel will refund the activation charges and
the amount will be adjusted in the next bill cycle. New customers can avail the 3 month unlimited offer and
subsequently choose exciting V-Fiber plans starting from Rs. 999. Existing and new customers can register their
requests at www.airtel.in/vfiber or call on 18001030121.
Dharmender Khajuria, CEO – Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh, Bharti Airtel said, “We are
delighted to bring ‘V-Fiber’ to our customers in Bhopal, as part of our endeavour to deliver best-in-class broadband
experience to users. With ‘V-Fiber’, we are all set to offer an altogether transformed experience on our future
ready network to the digitally savvy homes. This solution offers a very quick and convenient upgrade to the
customer. Our innovative myHome Rewards program and free voice calling facility will certainly add to the delight of
Bhopal’s Digital Homes. We invite all our customers in the city to experience our superfast broadband
‘myHome Rewards’
Airtel’s ‘myHome Rewards’ program provides free additional data benefit of 5GB per month for every other Airtel
service connection – postpaid mobile or digital TV (DTH) – within the home/family. Customers can avail this exciting
offer for their existing as well as new Airtel postpaid mobile and digital TV connections. So, if an Airtel
broadband home has two Airtel postpaid mobiles and one Airtel digital TV connection then 15 GB free additional data
will be added to their broadband account every month.
Unlimited free voice calls
Airtel also offers unlimited free voice calling for all its broadband customers. The facility is now available
across broadband plans and customers can make unlimited free voice calls to any network across the country at no
extra cost.
Airtel V-Fiber deployment is a part of Airtel’s nationwide network transformation initiative – Project Leap started
last year. Under the initiative, Airtel is also augmenting its 550,000 Kms of domestic & international
fiber/submarine cable capacity in order to drive down latency, improve customer experience and serve the growing
demand of data services in years to come. The Company is also increasing caching of content at its data centres to
improve data experience for customers.
