Airtel’s fixed-line broadband customers will have to shell out more for Internet services from next month as the service provider has hiked the charges, by up to 40 per cent in certain plans.

The operator has informed its customers that the increase in broadband rates would be effective from next billing cycle in April.

Due to an increase in input cost, the rent will be revised from ₹250 to ₹349 with effect from April 17, the company said in a communication to a customer.

In another communication to a customer, the company mentioned that from April 23, the rental will be increased from ₹850 to ₹949.

The company in the plan also informed customers about increasing minimum speed of broadband to 512 kilobit per second from 256 kbps.
