Common questions about airtel speed test
On Airtel Xstream Fiber, you should receive approximately 85–95% of your plan speed when connected via ethernet directly to the Airtel router. A 100 Mbps plan should deliver 85–100 Mbps. Speeds below 70% of your plan warrant a complaint to Airtel support.
Your phone may be falling back to 4G if you're at the edge of 5G coverage, if your device doesn't support Airtel's 5G bands (n78/n40), or if the 5G option is disabled in your phone's mobile network settings. Enable "5G preferred" mode in your phone's SIM settings.
Open the Airtel Thanks app → My Account → Raise a Complaint → Network Quality. Alternatively, dial 198 from your Airtel number. Airtel's published resolution time for broadband speed issues is 3 working days.
