Airtel Launches 16 Mbps Broadband
Bharti Airtel has launched 16 Mbps broadband in the country.
This service, powered by Airtel's Carrier Ethernet Network, will be initially available in Delhi NCR, Chennai and Bangalore with phased roll-out in Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and Kolkata.
K Srinivas, Joint President, Telemedia Services, Bharti Airtel said, "Airtel has constantly strived to innovate and deliver high quality products to its broadband customers. We are the leading private broadband service provider in the country and pioneered 8 Mbps broadband. It gives us great pleasure now to be able to introduce the fastest, wired broadband service on DSL. We will be able to offer 16 Mbps broadband to 70% of the households in the 3 cities of Delhi NCR, Chennai and Bangalore."
Airtel delivers its broadband service to customers through a fibre backbone of Carrier Ethernet Network with last mile delivery on copper using ADSL2+ technology. This technology enables ultra high-speed broadband which is scalable and affordable.
Customers have 2 tariff plans to choose from -
- Speed Combo 2999 - receive 16 Mbps broadband speed with monthly data transfer limit of 20 GB along with a fixed line connection at Rs. 2999 per month.
- Speed Combo 4999 - receive 16 Mbps broadband speed with monthly data transfer limit of 50 GB along with a fixed line connection at Rs. 4999 per month.

Re: Airtel Launches 16 Mbps Broadband
Give us 1.5mbps upload so that I can host a server from my house. I don't care about the download.
Btw, any *rumours* of a new plan from BSNL??

It's not just about the 'price'. The über nonsense data caps that makes a man cry. And if you were talking about reliance net+. then it has broken all records of stupidity by naming 10GB data cap and Rs.2/MB plan UNLIMITED.
More than that, I'm so tired of the usual excuses 'who needs so much download speed? Ya'll piracy maniac!' - it's so stupid that even G-o-d is lol'ing up there.

Re: Airtel Launches 16 Mbps Broadband
That is equivalent to 16.6 hours of BB for me!
What's the use of 16mbps when you got DL of 20GB! I need at least 250GB on that speed

Re: Airtel Launches 16 Mbps Broadband
On BSNL H500, I used to go 4GB/night on alternate days after my 10th exam. I ended up downloading 60GB in one month, yet only Rs. 500 per month charge
Thats why BSNL launched H150 and H99 plans. These new plans loot n00bs who buy them so that it can subsidise guys like me with H500

Re: Airtel Launches 16 Mbps Broadband
I got Home 1000, as I easily cross 2.5GB while browsing during day time in a month and I think I deserve more than 256kbps of upload.

Re: Airtel Launches 16 Mbps Broadband
On my current Airtel 1Mbps plan I have a limit of 150 GB and I can very easily manage within that. I never download more than 70-80 GB/month. ATM I don't need this 16Mbps crap.

What plan is that? Never heard of it. How much it charges you?
