Moving to Airtel VFiber from ACT: Questions

Lord Nemesis said:
Be careful with V-Fiber. There are two different implementations both of which Airtel markets as V-Fiber. In some areas, they provide the connectivity via FTTH (Optic Fiber) and the speeds will be as advertised. The other version is where they do VDSL2 over copper telephone lines. In this version, the speeds will get capped drastically based on your distance from exchange irrespective of the plan. In order to get 100Mbps, you must be within 150m from the exchange and you get capped to 20 Mbps if you are more than 300m.

They did install the FTTH. In fact they installed a FTTH box within my premises. I am less than thrilled with Airtel response times though they are more responsive than ACT. It took them about a week to get my internet connection. I am yet to get the Free Amazon Prime subscription. As my luck would have it, my Prime subscription ended just a few days ago. Airtel says that they need 10 days to fix the Amazon Prime issue. Kind of pissed with their service already.
