Go to *airtel-broadband.com/home.htm
click on "Tariff plans" or "Tariff selector". They are flash buttons and also popup. SO enable both in ur browser. I know, bad UI design.

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 ;)!!!

mmm...no...that is not the case. If it mentions upto 512 kbps then the your downloads should hit a max of 64k. There is no such data loss during transfer. Oh and I know becos I had a 512kbps connection earlier where in it maxed out at 64k all the time. My torrent speeds are also at 25k. However might have something to do with my upload speed being 8k all the time. My http download speeds are at a constant 29-30k which is more realistic to the 32k scenario.

I use TataIndicom BroadBand at 512 kbps.
It's like you are on a Ferrari with Steroids!!
But nobody has 512 kbps unlimited plans!!
In the US, for 40 dollars you get 2MB unlimited
Internet broadband!!
You can download the latest Fedora , Suse , Ubuntu ,
Solaris etc., When India is going to be like America?
God only knows!!
Even Singapore, Malaysia have excellent broadband
connectivity.

true.....1gb.....but still it's an enjoyable experiance...compared to the other similiar services offered by other companies i've had it for about 4 months and no complaints so far in fact i was thinking about getting rid of my bsnl phone...which develops some fault at least once or twice a month.

Guys, everybody says unlimited but the amount of MB to be downloaded is fixed and not unlimited.

I have got SIFY 64 KBPS unlimited with download of 150 MB/Day at 500Rs./Month, which is really satisfactory.

hmmm... so i guess only delhi/NCR ppl are being obliged...nyways iam staying in gurgaon and frm 10:30 to 6:30 in the morning iam getting close to 55kBps download in torrents as well as uploads....

i enquired whether any new plans will be launcehd...
the airtel guy told me that new plans are abt to be launched by feb end,therez also a plan for 512kps unlimited....nd will go for 1500 bucks.... seems nice!! but how much time actually it will take is anyones guess!! the biggest advantage i say with airtel broadband is "zero downtime"...in the last 10months i have never experienced downtime.... amazing!!
