I don't want to argue but if we get speeds more than what is stated as can be maximum achieved on this plan then why is it still upto.

dear they say uptp 256 or 512 Kbps..........
Because there is always fluctuation in bandwidth.Some time you may get less speed than package.and there are tons of illiterate broadband customers in India.

They will start shouting...

[Harvik780]

If airtel was here i would have certainly gone for airtel.
Offtopic :
ADSL sucks as the maximum upload speed is just 1Mbps currently(scientists have found a method of increasing speeds but god knows when will it become commercially possible).ADSL requires the user to understand a lot of terms concerning the Line stats as far as india is concerned.Only god knows how to save u if ur stuck with a problem with ADSL line faults.

any idea on that 8mbps plan of airtel? no unlimited

[cool_techie_tvm]

I guess the tariff has been reduced for delhi circle only. They still are giving 512kbps UL for 1999/- in Kerala.

[drgrudge]

It's 1999 bucks for Tamil Nadu. If it's going to be Rs 1.5k PM for 512k line, I'll switch to Airtel.


Also don't wait for BSNL Dataone to offer better plans. I'm sure Airtel will match other ISP's plan whenever necessary.

yes..512 UL plan is still of Rs. 1995/- in tamil nadu.

But I hope they will update it soon, as they have updated for entire North zone.

But good news is that you have 8 Mbps plan(available only in chennai)

[drgrudge]

^^
What's the point? It's insanely priced. None in their right frame of mind would go for 8 mbps line. Rs 20k for 100gb cap. WTH?

[W i d e S c r e e N]

is there a night unilimted thing on this 8mb/s?

[xbonez]

one thing gud about Airtel is that they're well known for giving speeds greater than stated.

[naveen_reloaded]

Guys do yöü think this is real price they are giving out.remember..when outgoing were 6 Rs and incoming 3 Rs..
They had good meal at those times until reliance came in...
I think it also same in broadband.
These big companies are just taking our share of benefit....until someone thinks its time to move forward.
I feel todays india's progress is been given to person of selfish and greedy.
Everybody forget..India will never will become a super power.


Anyway this 1499 is just a eye wash.
Add 12% to it...and other charges.
It will come close to 1800

Don't blame Airtel for that price..Infact bame TRAI.They were charging huge TAX from GSM player..while simple TAX to CDMA player.


Lets stop this..I Don't want to ague on this.
Lets come back to broadband servise.

These big companies are just taking our share of benefit....until someone thinks its time to move forward.

completely agree with U.

yaar...that every1 knows extra tax...and educational TAX...and that go in Indian Govnt. pocket..not in Airtel pocket.

[naveen_reloaded]

No i think many dont know.they are just very much into the below 1.5k mark and jump into them.i was also one when i jumped into 256 unlimited.
When made the math it even overshot 1800 mark.
But the best thing is ,whoever is using it for 2k+ for 512 unlimited can enjoy this sweet opportunity..

[shashank4u]

Thats a good news but they should make it more cheaper to compete with bsnl

[Gigacore]

1500 Rs ? thats cheap

[NucleusKore]

Just called AirTel customer care, guess we'll have to wait here in Karnataka for 512 kpbs @ Rs. 1499

[ravi_9793]

^^^^^^^^^^^
yaa..price in south zone is yet not updated...but it should be done soon.

[Gigacore]

@ nucleus thanks for that info... i was already drooling here in bangalore

[blueshift]

it is still overly priced compared to MTNL 2Mbps NU @ 1000/-
Atleast 33%(based on theorotical calculations) more data can be downloaded on MTNL plan.

Could anybody tell what are initial charges for Airtel plan?

[ravi_9793]

Rs. 500/- security
Rs. 250/- incase you want a telephone handset

Nothing else.Free installation.Free shifting to another address.

YW

[rajasekharan]

damn costly

[Ricky]

Well..
Its not costly..
See.. its 1499 for 512 kbps ..earlier was 1999 for same, slowly we will see it for Rs. 1000 a month .. its a gradual process

BTW, whenver we get unlimited plan then those plans are shared plans so they always mention "UPTO"

I just came to know about this now .. hmm.. hmm.... hm.... i was thinking to shift to 512 kbps UL if I can get it for Rs. ~1.5K

I hv to think ..

yes.......
Everything can't change at a sudden.Good thing is ..it is changing.

BTW, whenver we get unlimited plan then those plans are shared plans so they always mention "UPTO"

Only home plan are said upto.But business plan get 1:1 bandwidth.

Means if U have 256 UL plan..than ur bandwidth will never go below 256 Kbps.
But there can be some rare time, when bandwidth is below 256 kbps..like 230 kbps or something.

[xbonez]

^^upto 80% of advertised speeds is admissible. anything less than that is bad
