Reliance Jio and Airtel are two of the biggest telecom operators in the country right and the company recently announced a major hike in tariffs. Along with that, the companies also increased the requirements to get access to unlimited 5G data. Both the companies now only provide unlimited 5G data to users who opt for plans providing 2GB of 4G data daily. This means that you need to spend at least Rs. 349 per month in case of Jio and Rs. 379 in case of Airtel to get unlimited data.

For the user base that may require data more than what's provided in their monthly recharge, the companies introduced a range of 5G booster packs. Designed for users with existing plans, these booster packs are economical and practical for users who don't require much data on a daily basis.

Both Reliance Jio and Airtel are offering three tiers of unlimited 5G booster plans, priced at Rs. 51, Rs. 101, and Rs. 151. As mentioned earlier, these plans add to the existing recharge plan. It is worth noting that although the plans are for additional 5G data, it also offers 4G data in areas where 5G coverage is limited.
