^^^Rs.1099 for 512kbps unlimited sounds like a good deal.

I called up Airtel today and migrated from 799 UL to Swift 1099. 512 all day UL. But the cc person told that it wil take 3 days to migrate. Will hv to wait.

Wher is the FUP denoted? 100GB Cap?? And is this 100GB cap PM?

Hey guys,
if u dont want to pay high rental for airtel BB just call 121 from ur LL and ask them to terminate ur connection.
Now the CC will ask u why ?
Tell him that u r not able to pay such high rental, then he will tranfer ur call to Retention dept.
Now here test ur Negotiation skills and get any plan with upto 20% discount!!!!

I GOT 20% DISCOUNT ON SWIFT 1099 PLAN MATLAB 880 RUPEE RENTAL ME 512 KI SPEED UNLIMITED (100 GB FUP)

SO CALL 121 RIGHTNOW !!!!!!!!!!1

^^gud trick..but i dont think it will work for all customers..normally these discounts will be given to customers who is with Airtel for more than 1 or 2 years.

Anyways, let me post my speed now. Earlier with 256kbps, my download from rapidshare would hover between 30 - 40kbps.

Now after upgrading to 1099, d/l hovers between 70 - 80.

Bad speed but compared to the old this is good.

70 - 80 is wat all 1099 customers get or anythn higher?

lucky thr. The 1 or 2 yr old scenario is what we followed in 2004 when workin with Airtel. May be now everythn is changed. Someway or the other Airtel should get the 20% disc back. Who knows??

In 2004 the competition was not as tough as of now (Tata and Reliance are now pulling airtel's customers). Airtel wants to retain customers at any cost.
I am thinking of calling again CC next month to ask for further discount
lolz

^^true, now the competition is tough. all the best.
