The goodies are starting to flow for home broadband users even before Reliance Jio Infocomm launches these services commercially.

Bharti Airtel<\/a>, the country’s No 1 telco and second-largest wired broadband<\/a> player, has silently started offering hefty discounts to home broadband users across India in a bid to retain its 2.5 million-strong active wired broadband<\/a> customer base ahead of Jio’s ambitious fibre-to-the-home (FTTH<\/a>) services launch likely later this year.

A senior company executive confirmed that
Airtel<\/a> is now dishing out “15% and 20% discounts to users opting for its home broadband packs (offering up to 300 Mbps speeds) for six months and one year respectively across its 89-city wired broadband services footprint”.

These discount offers till recently were only available in Hyderabad.

Naveen Kulkarni, telecom analyst at PhillipCapital, said Airtel’s move to extend the discount offers nationally “is a clear customer-retention strategy aimed at locking home broadband users and pre-empting churn, with an eye on Jio’s launch”.

For instance, a Delhi user opting for Airtel’s ₹999 per month home broadband plan — offering 250 GB of data at speeds of 100 Mbps — for six months will pay ₹848 a month, translating in a total payout of ₹5,090. If he opts for the same plan for a year, the monthly payout dips to ₹799, translating in an annual payout of ₹9,590. The twin discount offers hold but pack values vary from city to city, the executive cited above said.

Airtel though is yet to extend its recent decision to remove the FUP (fair usage policy) data limit on its home broadband packs in Hyderabad, to other cities. Removal of the FUP limit makes a data plan an unlimited one.

Bharti Airtel did not reply to ET’s<\/b> queries.

Wired broadband market leader Bharat Sanchar Nigam (
BSNL<\/a>) isn’t resting on its oars either ahead of Jio’s imminent entry. The state-run carrier has unveiled two ultra-aggressive monthly FTTH<\/a> plans of ₹777 and ₹1,277, offering a whopping 500 GB and 750 GB of data at speeds of 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps respectively in its bid to hold on to its 9.2 million-strong home broadband user base.

To sweeten matters further,
BSNL<\/a> is offering users opting for these promotional packs (with 90-days validity) bonus goodies by way of unlimited voice calls to any network.

“The two new promotional offers reflect BSNL’s realisation that it needs to be far more nimble, innovative and aggressive on the field to withstand immediate competition from Bharti Airtel, and subsequently from Jio, to retain its market leadership in the fibre-based home broadband services space,” a top company executive told ET.
