Bharti Airtel on Thursday enabled pre-booking option for its Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband services in all 25 cities where the company is scheduled to launch its services soon. In early April, Airtel highlighted on its Xstream Fiber site that its services would be rolling out to new cities. The company initially said that the services would be rolled out to the new cities in a gradual manner with cities like Hosur was highlighted to receive the Airtel Xstream Fiber services on April 30 or May 1. However, the COVID-19 lockdown resulted in Airtel hosting a new countdown timer on the 25 cities that suggested that the Airtel Xstream Fiber services would be rolled out in early June.
