Any airtel MO users in Mumbai?

[mandar5]

Hi ppl i am using airtel mo on my n70me.I am not assured whether is gprs or egde coz speed sucks man.I hardly get 5kBps download speed.Also when i try to connet thru airtel dial up icon i get connection error but when i connect thru pc suite option of CONNECT TO INTERNT it connects quickly without trouble.Sometimes all windows or web pages suddenly fail to load.Why is it so?I stay in mulund tail end of mumbai.Is there separate edge settings for n70m?
Thanks.

nope... evy1 is experiencing the same sh1t speeds...

Mumbai is edge enabled so u must get good download speeds(atleast 10 kBps)

There are no separate settings of MO for n70me.

Contact customer care just to ensure that your area is edge enabled.

^^ yup almost all of mumbai has edge networks but still the speeds suck..

[Pathik]

^^kbps obviously dude... the max connection speed of a class 10 gprs connection is only 48kbps

Airtel is stil facing prb on GPRS front whereas BSNL has had a late entry but d GPRS service is much faster n EDGE enabled at many places. Also disconnections r rare n it is cheaper den Airtel.

Its been a while since Airtel has been shifting entire setup to EDGE
