Airtel teases ‘unlimited 5G’ at Rs 99 but there’s a catch; know validity and more

India’s telco giant Airtel is now coming with an all-new unlimited 5G data plan at Rs 99. However, the catch is that Fair Usage Policy – FUP – applies to the plan which restricts the usage to 30GB per day. Post30 GB, the speed falls to 64Kbps.

Therefore, would it be fair to say that Airtel is offering 30GB 5G at Rs 99 and post 30GB, the speed is 64Kbps?

This may also be an attempt by the Gopal Vittal-led telco giant to boost the Average Revenue Per User. As per the reports, Airtel’s ARPU stands highest in the industry at Rs 200.
