@all
I called 121 on my Airtel landline. They said I had 512kbps unlimited :p

I think It was a glitch (that lasted for about 4-5 hours :D) as it's back to 50-60 KBps :)

So relax :p

I dont have to wake at 12am:-? why should I? I wake at I:50 am put the dnld at Q so that estimated time is 6hrs on non resumable dnlds & go to sleep keeping monitor or lid close to reduce power consumption.:razz:
I have been on that plan for more than 2 years now. So I know pretty much everything there is to it. I had to wake up at 12:00AM to enqueue the downloads. It's MTNL for me & not BSNL here. Ergo, our timing for NU download is from 12:00AM to 8:00AM, capiche?

With Airtel, I don't have to do this. Heck I don't even need to wake up at any point of time to do anything. I just need to queue the downloads as per my convenience and voila, I'm good to go whenever I want.

PS: Even I shut off my monitor, just like every other sane person does, so you mentioning that isn't really helping your argument.

u must clear things in mind.rebooting or just "disconnect n connect" does the same thing in any dynamic ip connection, it changes the ip address.why should I reboot man wtf:?:
First of all, I don't like that tone. Secondly, read my replies properly, I haven't been remotely sarcastic in any of them. So don't push it.

Anyway, just to clear a little air from your tiny mind, rebooting merely isn't changing your Dynamic IP address. It logs you off from that entire session & creates a new one. So let's assume you wake up at 12:00AM sharp (or 1:50AM in your case), switch the router on at that very point & enqueue all your downloads & continue downloading without rebooting your router after 2:00AM or 2:10AM, your session for download is not counted for the unlimited download slot. Read this up at your ISP's website, I'm sure they must have mentioned it. Always reboot (turn off & on) router to begin a new session.

Shutdown of comp is automatic, I think every one knows how to shutdown the comp automatically execpt n:shock::shock:bs.there r tuts available in td itself in tuts section.
I know end number of my friends who have suffered massive bills because of this. They claimed to setup scripts to even shutdown the PC in the morning to avoid waking up early. What they didn't realize was that shutting down the PC doesn't terminate the router's packet transmission to it's server. So you manually have to switch it off. The slightest of mistake would mean doomsday for you. Also you would know how great BSNL & MTNL customer crap support is, don't you? Arguing the bill to get some result would be like waiting for a dead skunk to fart.

And guess what I don't have to do this in Airtel. ;-)

Hurrah keep ur bikes burning all the time u have unlimited fuel.:razz:
ROTFL! I can't believe you quoted that line. That doesn't serve much as a comeback, seriously. :lol:

Also just a slight reminder, I have been here for longer than you can imagine. So rest assured, I'm not a newbie. Next time, think before ranting off.

Did anyone checked the Tata Broadband 'More4sure' offers? It is still little bit expensive wrt Airtel.. but guess I will want that.

why so much heat in ur post n avtar man :?:

go through my post man in my 1st post mentioned its bsnl not mtnl & the respective speed n data transfer but u quoted it as mntl n gave ur points which were just unjustified so I was just justifying ur points, thats it.
C:grin::))L DOWN MAN

btw I connect at 2:05am n by discotg n cotg after 1 mins ends n starts new session at least in bsnl bcoz I never had any probs in by bill as u told and when d comp shuts down it always closes network connections by default.
I can see u r here for long time n perhaps u r older than me that does't proves anything, if it proves d older d better then anyone would stick to pentium1.

LASTLY DONT TAKE THIS POST NEGETIVELY.8)8)8)

My apologies for the outburst. I didn't mean to flank you, but with the way you presented your post (with all that "WTF" & stuff like that), I don't take that too lightly. So I'd call it an even now. :smile:

If you read ahead on my statement, I mentioned it to prove that I'm not new around here. Not to state any kind of authority. ;-)

BTW your analogy is flawed. Comparing a tenured human experience to technological advancement of a machine is not correct. :grin:

Anyway, coming back to the topic, Has anyone out here setup an ECS payment method for paying their Airtel bills?

I just got a welcome call & this chap told me that it would allow me a 1.5% (or so) reduction of my total bill or Rs.150, whichever is less, if I would setup the payment method via ECS. How do you apply for it?

Me, me...pay it from my HSBC Credit Card...
But, not from Airtel site but from my Card account...

Well, vodafone gave me same facility that they would deduct the bill amount from my card if I provide necessary docs (this is for my postpaid conn) but I came to know that they would deduct it on the very first day of the month, so if u want to play with ur Card bill generation date, it becomes a issue...

And, I'm not interested about "Direct Debit" from my bank acc. as if by any chance some wrong amount is deducted u'll have go pillar to post to get it back...

You definitely have a point there. Thanks for the heads up. Then what would be the ideal way for me to pay the bill? Online or Check?

I too prefer paying bills online but it won't let me club my internet and mobile (postpaid) bill accounts. 121 is a joke .... those guys know nothing. At least they try hard others (bsnl etc) don't even try.

Anyone knows how to club my two accounts together?

It took 3 weeks to migrate from my 999 plan to 1699 plan. Totally un-expected from Airtel, but "der aye durust aye" :-D

B/w, I'll be needing your help to reconfigure my uTorrent...opening a new thread.

I have some airtel plan with 15gb limit and 2 mbps speed. Bill came 9k. :| Stupid housemates watching porn on youtube. Might shift to turbo 1299 plan. One thing is, we have no idea how we crossed 15gb. I mean we are at college from 9 to 5 and we use internet from like 6 till 12am. It says we used 25gb. Can we argue with them and get the bill reduced? Its huge. Also how long does it take to change the plan?
