It's unofficially confirmed that airtel will be upgrading the 256kbps plans to 512kbps unlimited. The news is not out on quotable sources so this post is not in latest news section. Only the call center guys and some forumers have confirmed it so far. BSNL will probably not be far behind, but who cares.
I left azureus run uncapped for some days now for something like this to happen, and it did! I am still downloading some sucky torrents and the max I was getting of them has been around 50KBps. After I finish this, I will start the big torrents ;P

The speeds are not low. It works out to 24kBps for my friend, but the upload speed: Download speed is almost 1.0 .

I think it's 900 + modem + 10.2% tax for the connection.

IDM says:

Actually in IDM, the speed varies from 54 to 64 kBps, while staying at 57KBps most of the time.

My theory is that, the speed would probably be 54.x kBps, as my 128kbps gave 13.5KBps, my 256kbps gave 27.x (almost double).

i too inquired it, my 128 kbps un limited is already upgraded to 256 kbps, at the same Rs 700/month price, & i was wondering, how the hell i m getting speed of 256 KBps on 128 kbps connection, i thought it was a flaw at their side

besides i m already getting dam high speeds, i got 180 KBps download speed in DAP, 2 days ago, in night, thats 1440 kbps, more then 1 mbps, but regularly i get speeds in the range of 32 to 50 while downloading

I am using airtel Home 128 unlimited. But after downloading a couple of MBs, the connection slowly reduces speed and comes to a stand still and the connection hangs. All my other applications work perfectly fine except the airtel dial up connection. God knows what wrong and on which side (mine or theirs)

I asked one of my friends, he says he is getting around 29-31 kBps only, but yesterday got upto 37-38kBps. He says that he is connected to 512kbps, but d/l speed maybe at 384kbps.


siriusb,
Still you get these speeds?

gxsaurav,
Run torrents and post the screenie man. Even I get 40KBps in the nights with flashget/other d/l managers.


shwetanshu,
Already Chinnu is getting 384kbps speeds man, ask him for more.


Maybe if they really give away 512kbps for 1k a month, then I will be pressing my dad for this connection from the frogsh!t BSNL (that turned me into a leecher) connection.
