Reliance Jio AirFiber vs. Airtel Extreme AirFiber: Comparison of Plans, Data Speeds, and Availability
The latter went live on September 19, the day of Ganesh Chaturthi, while the former launched on August 7.
Reliance Jio’s AirFiber, which debuted a day earlier on Ganesh Chaturthi, is now a competitor to Airtel’s Extreme AirFiber, which calls itself “India’s first wireless home WiFi service powered by 5G Plus.”
Xtreme AirFiber, a fixed wireless access (FWA) service, launched on August 7. Its Jio counterpart provides internet speeds comparable to fiber over the air without the use of wires.
Availability of Airtel Extreme AirFiber vs. Reliance Jio AirFiber: Currently, the former is exclusively offered in Delhi and Mumbai; the firm plans a phased national expansion.
However, it is already operational in eight places, including the two previously stated. Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Pune make up the remaining cities.
Speed and Plan: Airtel only provides one plan for its smartphones. The package costs $799 for six months and requires a $2500 upfront refundable security deposit. It has a data speed of 100 Mbps.
In the meanwhile, there are two types of Jio device plans: AirFiber and AirFiber Max. Data rates of 30 Mbps (at ₹599) and 100 Mbps (at ₹899, ₹1189) are available to consumers in the first tier. The second category’s data speeds are 300 Mbps (₹1499), 500 Mbps (₹2499), and 1000 Mbps (₹3399).
Women’s Quota Bill passes Lok Sabha test, one step closer to becoming law
After hours of debate, the historic measure granting women a 33 percent reservation in Parliament and state legislatures was approved by the Lok Sabha today. The bill has never before been introduced and approved by the lower house.
Another significant turning point in the history of the biggest democracy in the world is the introduction of the Women’s Reservation Bill. It’s interesting to note that announcements of practically all reserve policies and the extension of reservation advantages always occur on election day. The EWS reservation had been put in place by the Modi administration prior to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Election factors are also taken into account when the demands for OBC, Jat, Gujjar, Pattidar, and Maratha reservations are made. Constitutional and legal reforms ought to be independent of electoral considerations.
Following the completion of the census and delimitation processes, women’s reservation would likely be implemented just before the Lok Sabha elections in 2029. As a result, it is meant to be used to obtain votes not just in 2024 but possibly in 2029 as well. The Rotation Clause is the worst part of the Bill since elected officials won’t have much incentive to expand and enhance their constituency.
India suspends visas of Canadians as controversy escalates
India revokes Canadians’ visas as the uproar grows
In light of the mounting controversy surrounding the shooting of a Sikh separatist on Canadian land, India has suspended issuing visas to nationals of Canada.
India said that the temporary change was necessary because “security threats” were impeding functioning at its Canadian missions. India will continue to offer visa services for Canada.
When the Premier of Canada said that India may be connected to the murder of June 18 this week, tensions increased.
India vehemently denied the accusation and called it “absurd.”
For months, there has been tension between the US and its main trading and security partner. They have reached a record low, according to analysts.
The Indian government quickly said that “Canadians in third countries” are affected by the suspension of visa services.
Threats have been made against our High Commission (embassy) and consulates in Canada, according to a spokeswoman for the Indian Foreign Ministry in Delhi. “This has interfered with how they normally operate. As a result, they are momentarily unable to handle visa requests.
“India wants diplomatic power and rank parity between the two countries’ posts. “Canadian diplomatic meddling in our internal affairs is the reason this is being sought after,” he said.
Canada had already declared it was cutting the number of employees it had in India and claimed some ambassadors had received threats on social media.
There is a lot at stake despite the historically tight connections between the two nations.
How did the conflict between India and Canada become so well-known?
In Canada, there are 1.4 million persons of Indian descent, the majority of whom are Sikhs, according to the 2021 Census, making up 3.7% of the total population. India is the country that sends the most foreign students to Canada; in 2022, they made up 40% of the country’s 320,000 overall foreign students.
Nearly 80,000 Canadian tourists visited India in 2021, placing them fourth after the US, Bangladesh, and the UK.
When Canada accused India of being responsible for the murder of separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian who was shot dead in his car by two masked assailants outside a Sikh temple in British Columbia on Monday, the conflict flared up.

Sensex down 570 points, Nifty below 19,750 points in broad-based selling.
Sensex Today: On September 21, the market experienced intense selling for the third session in a row, with losses in every sector. Nifty dropped below 19,750 points, while the Sensex and Nifty both plummeted by about 1%. The indices for the banking, automotive, and pharmaceutical sectors were the most impacted.
As the benchmark index dipped to 19,700, Nifty kept declining. The Nifty index fell beneath its 20EMA, showing a lack of optimistic enthusiasm. A bearish crossover in the RSI indicates weakness. As long as the price is below 20,000, selling during rallies is still the preferable course of action. Support on the downside is located between 19,700 and 19,630.
The banking benchmark index, Bank Nifty, underwent a big correction during the day, dropping below the 45,000 level for the first time in a number of days. On the daily time period, it also deviated below the 20EMA and 50EMA. On the daily time scale, the RSI is displaying bearish signals with a bearish crossover. It might rise in the near future toward 44,000 at lower levels while running into opposition at 45,000 at higher levels.
Investors were uneasy following the US Fed’s speech, which hinted at another rate hike later this year, and sold stocks in the domestic market for the third day in a row.
Investors are concerned by additional risk factors, such as protracted outflows of foreign funds, rising US currency index and Treasury yields, and higher crude oil prices. Technically, the correction period for the Nifty is over, and the important level to watch moving forward for the bulls will be 19700. We can anticipate a relief rally if the index manages to trade above this level, and over 19700 the market may rally to 19825–19875. On the other hand, new sales are only permitted following the rejection of 19700.
