Airtel goes 512kbps unlimited?

[siriusb]

Hmmm...Weird. The speed dropped to max 35kBps few days back and didn't rise. Probably they were only testing or something. Ah well, I filled my hard disk as much as I could while I could anyways.

cyberia.in:
Cool, can you post the letter screenshot? What exactly did it say?

 

[gxsaurav]

now this is compleately out of my mind

my connection plan changed 5 times a day

here the thing, i go to the airtel usage check site to check my usage in time & KBs, but it changes the plan always

sometimes i get my plan listed as Home 1000, then Home 500, then flexi-128, flexi-64

seems like i got all the airtel connection in 1

 

[mobilegeek]

ya good scheme gxsaurav

but on a serious note you have to keep calling the so called customer care again & again

that is very annoying

 

[gxsaurav]

I m the most happy customar there is now changed to Home 1000, 256 wala plan

 

[asdf1223]

now i am getting a drop to 170kbps . damn anyways i have the night unlimited offer(9pm-8am). so no real gain/loss.

Upgrade

Have airtel upgraded from 256Kbbs to 512 Kbbs?????

 

[rollcage]

If you are asking about the 256kbps unlimited plan
No .. They havent .. in Delhi

 

[siriusb]

No navino, I guess that was a false call. But I had it for around a week and a lot of airtellers I know experienced the speed jump too.
But after the speed jump 'sped away', the connection speed is now around 30KBps instead of the usual 25-27 KBps.

why dont you tell that you were lieing?
OMG 54KB/s on 256kbps line thats impossible.

 

[siriusb]

I wasn't "lieing", but I guess the title is a bit mis-leading in light of recent decrease. I'll edit it then.

512kbps for 1k

ohh god i will cry now ...

why is this thingy not there in HYD

are u sure , r therent any further strings attached ???

on the positive if it is true
then i think the other ISP's will soooooonn slash their prices too ....

i hope dataone gives 256kbps unlimited for 700 bucks !!!

its there in hyderababd
but the CC says there is no such plan upgrade in hyd.

so it may b only to chennai,delhi and other rural areas.

Any contact no. of airtel people to get information regarding their broadband services here in hyderabad?or any site which can provide me their tariff plans in hydrabad...i found some site related to it but there is no option for hyderabad for the tariffs.
Help out guys

hi, the information provided by sirius is abs. right! i did get the same speed @ abt 50!!! it is impossible to get 50 KB with 256.. but u cud get with 512 Kbps line!! and tats wat happened... and i also had the speed reduced back to normal after a day.

btw, i confirmed it again, it seems as of now there is no plans of changing to a 512 kbps from 256 kbps and all... it is that they hav increased 20% BW to the 256 kbps line.. that too on the lower side. i mean we were assured of downloading bet. 180 and 256 kbps until.. this 180 has been increased to 1280 + 20% of 180. thats it! however, i feel a noticable differnece in the conx with my dl speed increased by 3 KB as siriusb said.

Airtel speeds suck for me.Never got more than 14KB/s on my 128kbps connection.
I suggest you to go for Akshbroadband which has the best plans in whole India.

My cable wala is providing internet connection of Aksh but there are no unlimited plans thats the reason i have to look for other options available.Anyways thanks for the information
