BackAirtel Black vs JioFiber: Prices, data, features of bundled plans compared
The flexibility with subscription plans is the biggest selling point for Airtel Black
PremiumAirtel has come back with an array of all-in-one plans, this time christened Airtel Black. The USP of this new segment under Airtel's offerings is its flexibility - subscribers can choose from four pre-designed 'Fixed' plans or make a 'Custom' plan with preferred services to suit their needs, and switch between them when they want to.

Airtel's flexibility with its Black plans will be hard to beat, while JioFiber's unlimited data and voice facilities with all its plans give it an edge.
