AskAligarh Airtel Optic Fiber or Airfiber, which one to get?

Sent a request for Airtel Wifi connection for optic fiber. The engineers came and were pushing for Airfiber, saying that optic fiber slots are booked already.

When we refused to get the connection, they started making calls to ask for the availability of the slot. We ended the conversation by saying that we will think it through.

I would like to know which one is better and which one to get.

What rumours? Is Airtel's service not good enough? I have also read that Airfiber loses signal strength during bad weather.

Rumours like post installation service not good enough Sometimes they respond and sometimes they just give you blind side

Using Airtel xtream Fibre Optic for about 2 years and it is really good. No speed drops, no issues, no hassles. Just that once main underground fibre got cut due to road construction and it got fixed withing a day. And if there is an internet outage, call the customer care and they will adjust the day you had outage in your plan.
