I do that with 512KB, imagine what wud happen with 16MBPS.

This Generation is Impatient but not Idiot, Airtel you suck.

 

[comp@ddict]

I took an AIRTEL 512KBPS Unlimited connection Rs. 1499 pm.

My download speed doesn't ever cross 30KB/s, but my upload speed hits 50KB/s

I called AIRTEL to say, WHAT THE BLOODY HECK(used a few more words, a "she" caught the phone, so stopped soon), and they say the new Rs. 1499 plan has only 256KBPS.

How could this be, a 256KBPS UL for Rs. 1499, who are they fooling. I can't find any solution, nor can I change my connection due to some other VERY LENGTHY issues WITH AIRTEL ITSELF.

I feel tried, tested, cheated, everything. WHAT DO I DO, to get my 60KB/s download speed BACK?????????

Impatience is the new life. WTF!
Initially I thought to get the 20GB plan just to check out 16Mbps but later I realized that I can't manage withing that limit. I need at least 60-70GB/month.

That's insane. A 256Kbps unlimited plan on MTNL costs Rs. 999, I believe. The amount you're paying if a rip-off. Have you confirmed the scheme on their website as well? I still have Airtel's brochure in front of me, which clearly states Rs. 1599 is for 512Kbps unlimited. Just confirm it again or speak to a higher authority at their contact centre.

Also did you try downloading from an FTP or HTTP based site? A torrent download would be pretty bouncy depending on the amount of seeders & peers.

Back when I was on BSNL UL900 (now 750) I used to download/upload in total 60GB per month.Now I am on H500 and I clock avg 100GB/month ....but lately I dont download much...it hovers around 40GB per month.

Airtel has povided us with good facility.It will decrese the work of those who work mainly on internet .

 

[anuvrat_parashar]

well, airtel is trying to get subscribers towards this scheme. It did put an end to the unlimited@249 GPRS plan and changed the rates to 30 paise/50 KB i.e 6Rs/MB. (ridiculous)

the 16Mbps and 20 GB limit plan is extremely stupid. If it was possible (for me ) to downloaded 10 gigs in a month with the GPRS connection (laptop was always ) then how long will it take to cross the limit with the speed provided???

any ways with no internet connection, I am having a NICE time 8)

I've done SPEEDTEST for ultimate confirmation.

here were the results:-

Download SPEED = 0.32 Mb/s
Upload SPEED = 0.29 Mb/s

A few days ago, my Upload SPEED was = 0.45 Mb/s

Useless plans...on my bsnl home1800 i dload around 45gb at night and still cross the 10gb limit in the non-unlimited hrs...

 

[demoninside]

well MTNL 256KBPS UL and only total of 675 with tax and everything, and I use it more then 20 GB ..
Hack 20 GB on 16mbps line, they must be out of there mind. That too cost 3K without tax.
This is stupid.
