The service will be functional After two weeks.
This has been a great news for Airtel Subscribers, Currently this service will come at a price of 2000Rs a month. And it will be available only in Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Delhi and the NCR, with a subsequent rollout in Mumbai and Hyderabad in a few weeks, company said in a statement.

CEN allows not only provisioning of high speed plans to broadband customers but also delivery of triple play services.
The service will ensure that our customers have a truly world-class browsing experience. With 8 Mbps speed, our network will also be IPTV ready,” company’s President Broadband and Telephone Services Atul Bindal said.
