Excitel Broadband offers high speed internet service with wifi router and modem ONT on fiber technology called FTTH. Excitel offers full fiber service where fiber is laid till customers home. However Excitel works on franchise model for provide service. Here last mile is given via franchise who install their own fiber from franchise office equipment/ OLT to customer’s home premises.
Customer can book connection directly from franchise also called local cable operator (LCO) or via Excitel’s website also. Excitel also provides it’s own sales executive to each LCO for sales push. Once connection is availed customer can recharge by paying cash to franchise or from app or website of Excitel.
Now the installation part is Excitel gives you dual band router + ONT for Rs.2000 refundable security deposit. Extra Rs.500 is charged for cable however it depends on LCO most of time. Downtime and fault resolution also is very much LCO/franchise dependent. Excitel service can vary a lot from area to area depending on way these lco treats customers, attend and resolves complaints. Whenever one faces downtime in Excitel it’s better to complaint LCO first rather Excitel because resolution is faster if LCO starts working on it faster.
