Airtel Broadband has revised broadband speeds.

Home 999 plan was 128 KbPS UNLTD in the begining, but now is 256 Kbps. The home 699 plan was 64 KbPS UNLTD, not its, 128 KbPS UNLTD!!!

:lol: CHEERS TO US WHO USE AIRTEL !!!

@ammusk, I think u need to remove the quotation marks around the username.
And me too on 256kbps unlimied but I am not getting insanely high speeds neither :
I guess new delhi and gurguon ppl are the only ones. Let's see. I've specified my azureus download limit to "unlimited" after hearing this news, but so far I am only getting around 25KBps.

I have never had any problems with airel's broadband service & get constant speeds of 220-230 kbps on my 256 kbps connexion (which has now become 512 kbps,God Bless Airtel! :D ) with almost zero downtime.

The speed doubling is only for those who were on the Home995 or some plan which is hour-based. The new speed also has the same hour-based limitation. I confirmed it with an airtel customer care lady.
Actually, I've been hearing about speed increase with the Home999 guys as well. But since only a couple of guys were getting these, it is safe to assume that it was either an error on their end, or they are testing out the network capacity to see if they can allow unlimited 512kbps plan ;) So ppl on Home999, including me, can only hope airtel's kindness extends onto the unlimited plans as well.

You should'nt get confused between KBps and KbPS.

KBps means KiloBytes per Second

KbPS means kilobits per Second

1 Byte = 8 bits. Do the math!

Weak though I am in maths, I try not to get bits and bytes mixed. And as QM discerned carefully, my BT speeds are around 25KBps most of the time never going above 27KBps.
But I, on the other hand, am intrigued by your capitalization of "PS" in 'kbps'.

Lol... KBps can be said as KBPS and KbPS can be said as kbps!
I just used them to help you differentiate. ;)

In most cases, when they mention 512 KbPS your supposed to get 64 KBPS speed while you usually get only 50KBPS. Its data loss during transfer. Same applies for even lower speeds. You never get the full speed. Being in India, I'm glad we're getting 256 KBPS at an affordable price ;)!!!

Indian BSNL subscribers get 32KBps. Airtel promises an "upto 256kbps" speed, and along with their atm backbone, they explain away the lower speeds.
