India's number 1 telecom operator Airtel has launched its high-speed broadband service V-Fiber in India, which Airtel claims offers speeds up to 100Mbps. Airtel offered unlimited Internet for the next three months for free as a trial. Airtel V-Fiber is currently available in Chennai, but it will be expanded to 87 other cities in the next few weeks. Bengaluru and Delhi& NCR will follow Chennai's lead in getting the "superfast broadband." Airtel is currently offering up to 16Mbps speeds, which mark V-Fiber a major step up. Airtel is also accepting pre-orders for V-Fiber on its website and also notes that there would no increase in the monthly rental for those who opt for it. To a question on the tariff of the voice calls Jio said, "We would like to confirm that voice calls — local, STD and national roaming — are completely free and will remain so on the Jio network with any of the tariff packs".
