How to Check Airtel Broadband Unused Carry Over Data

As a long-time Airtel broadband user, I always felt bad when plenty of my high-speed broadband data goes unused and I couldn’t do anything about it. This situation usually arises when at times you’ve limited Internet usage or are out of town for work or vacation. Well, Airtel curbed this issue with the introduction of “Data Rollover” facility for home broadband users. This means that all unused broadband data is now carry forward to the next billing cycle, hence users will never waste any data they actually pay for.

This facility was initially introduced for Airtel Postpaid users in July 2017 wherein the unused monthly mobile data (up to 200GB) was added to the next monthly cycle. Soon after in November, Airtel announced the data rollover feature for its home broadband users, ensuring zero wastage of data. The data accumulation limit in case of broadband service is up to 1000GB. It’s worth noting that users need to have a broadband plan that offers added benefits such as data rollover, bonus data and Amazon Prime Subscription to avail this facility.

That said, let’s now find out how Airtel broadband users can check the carry-over data for their account. Though Airtel says that one can easily track the usage and balance data using MyAirtel app but that feature is apparently removed from their app. Without further ado, let’s see how to find out the unused Airtel broadband data on a desktop and mobile.

Note: This is only for Airtel home broadband subscribers in India.
