Airtel Increased Broadband Price

[RCuber]

Just got a SMS from Airtel ..

Namaste! Due to regulatory changes and increased input costs, monthly rental for your airtel broadband ID ***** has been marginally revised from Rs. 1699 to Rs. 1800 w.e.f 11-Aug-12, Details? visit www.airtel.in/dsl-faq

I will start looking at alternatives now..

^^F**k airtel, you are in bangalore right? Why not go for ACT(or was it Beam telecom)?

 

[RCuber]

^^ thinking about going for ACT.. will call them up this weekend..

 

[saswat23]

[ajayashish]

I found this, fu*k congress, they are gonna shove up stone age up our behinds, pathetic idiots, expect a hike from every player within a few more months, and by next april:

I want high reliability and low ping (blame BF3 ) , I don't think local cable will be able to deliver that.. the only thing I like about Airtel is the quality of service (speed and uptime)

 

[pramudit]

just a start... congress trying to get all money from telecom companies (spectrum allocation) will bring back expensive phone call and mobile services...

 

[tkin]

^^ As I said, congress will drive this country to the ground, I'm ok for a price hike if speed also hikes, but this is pathetic.

Airtel: Old -> New
Rs. 899 -> Rs. 950
Rs. 1399 -> Rs. 1500
Rs. 1699 -> Rs. 1800
Rs. 1999 -> Rs. 2150
Rs. 2099 -> Rs. 2250
Rs. 2399 -> Rs. 2550

Plus:

+ Service Tax @12%
+ Edu cess @2% on S.Tax
+ Sec & Higher Edu Cess @1% on S.Tax)



But then again:

Why not try You Broadband? I switched to it in this March and except for the first month, have faced no problems with the service.

Not impressed with the You broadband plans.. ACT has a good plan 10Mbps till 75GB (2Mbps later) @Rs.1299 - this is quite cheap compared to my current Airtel plan.

Due to this fact I am too in a big dilemma in choosing my upcoming BB. One hand is mighty Airtel, other hand, Reliance with its astounding plan os 12mbps (1mbps UL after 25GB) @ 999/-. But service of reliance sucks.

I think you should give it a try. RCOM service differs from neighborhood to neighborhood. While it's great in some (like mine), it's terrible in others. Purely depends on luck!
