Airtel Rolls Out 8Mbps Broadband

i am waiting for airtel 8mbps connection from last 8 months no action taken from airtel they told me to wait 3-6 months i am sill waiting

i want a airtel net connection. so i want to know the tariff details with different speed in mbps & kbps

When can we expect such type (8MBPS) service from Airtel in Mumbai

this is a f.u.c.king internet service we r download airtel mother f.u.c.king photo.

it will be good even if you get 1 GB in early morning hours.

8mbps and 256kbps are like apples and oranges. So are the users of those speeds. I am into ForEx (Foreign Exchange) trading and because of 512 kbps I have to use TataIndicom also as the secondary internet connection and team up the adapters. I will gladly pay the INR 2000 (USD 55 @ INR 40 = USD 1). The packages are designed for all spectra not just one person, so choose what you want and can afford. In Chandigarh the Airtel speed is exceptionally good. The metros (Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Hyderabad, etc.) are internet exchanges thus providing cheaper bandwidth, and as providers go from bad to good to better, more bandwidth will become available at a cheaper price. Internet is India Is growing by leaps and bound if you consider that broadband penetration in the USA is barely above 25%. So wait, and get used to the faster speeds.

it is really foolish of oneself to believe in their stupidity..i think airtel should first sit and have a discussion whether they have the proper tech know-how to provide 8mbps and then should publish it in the market...i am using airtel broadband..but even to open google search i have to wait literally 1-3 minutes..then u can imagine how this trick will be ...its like old shit new bottle..new money making strategy..to hell with airtel and

i want a airtel net connection. so i want to know the tariff details with different speed in mbps & kbps

sir i want to fast broadband services with 2mbps but i m in anand

do you have any offer for a new area connection provider in new area.any other offer please let me know.

AN outright cheating!!!!!When Airtel's max speed is512Kbps at present a manifold jump is not possible. All ISPs use a conveniant catch called 'up to 2MBPS' , never more than the plani.e if you have opted for a plan256Kbps ,at the most you can get a speed of 200Kbps if you are really lucky!!!Another catch is download limit , more the speed less is the dl limit!!!!!So please be aware of all these things before venturing!!!!

sounds cool, but the question of affordability does arises!! but indeed its a great step taken by airtel!! hope others to follow the suit!

i want information

MTNL/BSNL Best...... Airtel Sucks....

Yeah....its a goood think to do with Indian Internet connection. Actually here in India internet connection is five times the cost that is available in US or UK. Here people aren't able to even get 128KBPS unlimited connection as it's priced at Rs.699/- PM where as in US 2MBPS unlimited connection is available for $25 i.e. Rs.1100/- PM & moreover Indian ISP's don't know that doubling the internet connection speed won't just double Cost. So i think this 8MBPS internet connection here in India would cost 32000/-($760)PM then who will be able to get this connection, it would be costing a months salary!!!

gr8 news.waiting for airtel to come to mumbai

IF IT IS REAL THEN ITS A GREAT SPEED

....OOOO FANCY...but what is the literal speed airtel is giving....on papers and on test done on speedtest

There is no need of 8Mbps for suring.Only 2 Mps is sufficient.

LOL.. Airtel makes people fool For surfing even 256 line is enough.. Why do u need 8 Mbps for surfing ?? 8 Mbps line with just 8 GB limit for 2000 CRAP DEAL.. Never go for it

i'm using bsnl line as told by them as upto 2mbps......with a monthly 500 plan.....and its working pretty well since last year......night downloading is free and i roughly manage to download around 5-6gb in a single night... as heard from the user service user who pay up 900bucks for 256 unlimited...mine is kind of paisa wasool

Hey guys, I found my BSNL connection speed around 1mbps over last 1 week. Do we really need 8?

AIRTEL SUCKS. THIER SPEEDS SUCKS. FOR 512 Unlimited they want 2000 and no night plans. For WI-FI router they want to charge 1000 non-refundable install charge and rent of 100 ( wi-fi router can be purchased around 1900).

Hi Guys..too many ppl commenting about the net speeds..interesting forum..thought can probably put in my 2 cents..I m using 5Net in South Mumbai with rocking speeds due to good delivery of bandwidth throughput. I m using a 3gb account which offers 3gb of data trnsfr in a month with nights and Sundays free..I gross about 30(min)-60(max)Gb's of data transfer every month at speeds close to 1Mbps after 11pm(they advertise max speed of 300Kbps!!)..All in all I m very satisfied with 5Net. Their local distributor "Ahura Net" is just awesome customer service..queries if any resolved in 24hrs flat(max)..simply amazing..anyone in South Mumbai requires true broadband experience should try n contact Ahura Net...

i wld like to bring one very important thing to ur notice. ever heard of the CERT? or Project Carnivore? if u havent, stop reading this coment rite nw. if u have heard of the CERT or project Carnivore, then i dnt have nethng else to say dan this,that inspite of being a national carrier, its only BSNL, the only national and most technologically backwards an widout ne CC so to speak off, the only ISP in the country which isnt partner to either CERT or Project Carnivore. i have tried all possible isps in western and northern region of India, and trust me. each and every1 of them is aligned with carnivore and is easily accesible by CERT if they wanna check ur records. a simple ip ping and ip config hash will confirm this if ur using these isps... Kudos to BSNL for not bowing down to the tyranny of copyright laws and international morons. MPAA, up ur a**! BSNL rules simply for this reason that whatever u do on the net on ur personal private pc, remains in ur personal prvate life , unaccesible to any friggin morons and idiots hell bent on controling the net. Try any other isp and u compromise on ur privacy.. but if ur just another of those morons who think the internet is just for orkutting and downloadin porn, den go 4 ne other isp u may wish 4.... dats wat suits u. :D

Running on a cable connection unlimited at 256 kbps, 900 bucks a months, I'm happy.

k, a little update from Delhi. For the last 2-3 days Airtel has changed its policies.Earlier in the plans speed used to nearly double at night from 12 to 6, now they have done away with it. Not just that where the speed used to be between 26-31 kbps in a 256 Kbps plan ,it has now come down by atleast 25 percent and at times falls below 18-20 kbps averaging at 22 Kbps. The customer care can only acknowledge these facts with helplessness.

Ok Folks, read all the posts till now, all i would say is that no one is forcing you to opt for this plan, we should appreciate the initiative Airtel is taking else for such flexible bandwidth one would need a Frame Relay which would burn a big hole in your pocket... Donno how many of you use Video Conferencing with VoIP at home, but those who know what i'm talking about will agree that this kindda plan was much needed :-)

Now, friends, when you would wake up in the morning, do pray like this.....God, mercy to give me everyday, Bread to eat, Butter for my Bread, Range for My Mobile and Bandwidth for my Laptop...

GR8 news, kudos to Airtel...Hope that they would give 8 mbps speed, practically. Whatever, still, Airtel will be proved to be a trendsetter in this field. If they get successful, many other brandnames will be jumping on the bandwagon and ultimately, the tariffs will be coming down substantially, so that every n every home wil be able to afford to have this large BW at their doorstep... and imagin, what may come next... vitual classrooms, virtual movie theaters ...for example......

its good to hear.I think the same conditions are going to repeat.i used sify 128 unlimited i never get morethan 15kbps speed

Airtel is a big time rip-off. MTNL rules in Mumbai and delhi even if they have crappy cc and grumpy babu staff. I have a night unlimited up to 2Mbps speed (day limit is 1.25GB a month). during days speed hovers around 1 Mbps which is more than enough for email and surfing as i don't use it for much downloading. In night i get a constant speed of around 1.7Mbps. 700MB Linux live CDs just take 45 mins to download when i use utorrent. :-) monthly rental: Just rs 749

BSNL prices were low and forced other ISPs to reduce. However BSNL is struggling to complete the target set for this year, also called Broadband year.. so private ISP will prosper on the Gaint's fall and we may suffer with higher tariff in future..

it will be practical only if the cost is under control.the connection charges for mtnl broadband is Rs.199 but airtel is minimum rs.550

Hi guys ...please don't blame BSNL , i think its the best in the country and in the world. My experience says that like me and many others are getting good speed in broadband and at same time they are watching movies online without buffering. All my friends are having more mbps line but speed is slow i.e due to sharing of line. I think in our country just trust on BSNL and please do n't go for other network.It will make hole in ur pocket by some other mean. I have taken and tasted all the broadband connection and finally stick to bsnl broadband and giving advice to all my friends what i ve written here. If u feel i am not correct then some time later u may feel that i ve made a wrong dicision.

Airtel will definitely have a catch like many other Indian companies. Have any of you heard of Tata Broadband's 9p-9a unlimited @ 2mbps offer? It's just Rs.99 more a month added onto any package that your using. And one doesn't have to unplug the modem or router, just log out & log back in. Voila..Unlimited at crazy speeds..sometimes you even get speeds upto 2.8 Mbps..thats a plan worth talkin about..somethin one can use. Beats MTNL don't it. Tata will soon catchup with Airtel and have even better plans. The first may not always be the best!!

ITS GOOD TO HAVE 8 MBPS,WHILE JAPAN IS ROCKING AT 84MBPS

Airtel Sucks. I have an airtel GPRS connection. It says link speed of 115.2 kbps... all i get is 0.01 to max 3.0 kbps (after 2pm night). One years has passed and there is NOT even a week when i did not complain to customer care regarding their gprs. They seldom have any REAL tech knowledge, and would call me back ONLY at that time when their network is working properly. Next day it is all the same again. BSNL BB is coming to the town i live in next month... I cannot WAIT to throw OUT my airtel sim for GOOD. What ever NEW airtel brings whenever, i and all of my friends would reject immediately.

I'm using 256 kbps unlimited BSNL Broadband.Better than the best.Download limit of 8 GB for a 8 MB speed. What is the use of such a speed?

i AM REALLY WONDERING HOW SUCH IRRESPONSIBLE CORPORATE THIEFS THES OPERATORS ARE... Guy please check your internet speed... then you will realize you are fooled.. yes you are fooled.... You wont beleive ..just check it and see... you knwo what this can happen only in India... Useless buggers ( All ISP's)

Stupid country..India. Have never heard of a dowload limit... 8GB can be finished in a couple of days flat!!!

Hi, Any corporate or SME is interested in Lease Line or VOIP can feel free to call us for the same. THNX Manoj VSNL Internet Services LTD. +91 9892014568

The customers in india are not exactly that big fools. Soon people will realise that what is valuable to them and what is not(price-wise and w.r.t. download limit).....just wait and watch.

What about the regular 256k unlimited connections? When will these mofos bump the speed to at least 512. If tata wasn't such a biatch in every aspect of their service, Airtel would be brought on track. Mind you ppl, these ISPs will keep us in the dark ages while the rest of the world progresses. Time for the govt to step in and redefine broadband as min 2Mbps.

Airtel covers only a fer areas in the city especially in bangalore. There are some places which are not even outskirts in bangalore where airtel does not have the network(for internet) and if we ask the customer care, they tel with in 2 months airtel network covers these areas......... I am hearing this answer from the past 2 years and still the "2 month" span of airtel is not yet over.

I have downloaded 15GB in the last week alone :)

Wow 8Mbps of internet!!!!!!!!!1 thats awesome, will definately try out

I hope it's not like other Airtel hollow claims. I have rough experience with over hyped Airtel Data Cards where it failed to connect over VPN (Internet Connection was pathetically slow, less than 1 kbps) and their Technical Support staff admitted its inability, although when the dealer's engineer came to me for the first time to sell it, he was claiming it to be the best and that the one from Reliance is worthless. It proved otherwise. Still waiting on Airtel to get it back.

Why does the download limit have to be there ? Developed countries never have these limits (atleast in UK/US). A layman user will never know how much has been downloaded (other than claimed downloaded by the company). Cant our service providers just give speeds and remove the download limits. It makes internet surfing messsy wheere you constantly have to worry about the data downloaded. Anwyays more than half is just wasted in popups and advertisements on any websites. Common telecom cos, the package which really gives unlimited download, is the actual package offered by you. The other packages offered are just to fool common people and attract them. Whew ....

one can using internet at 2mbps can download 8 GB in 12 hours....in the BSNL's home500 plan.........

Stop befooling people. there won't be any taker for this. even yr mobiles are the costliest and lousiest but people are putting it with only because the no is circulated.is airtel not ashamed?

You dont even get 1GBps. With 256Kbps, hardly getting around 40Kbps.

I think that Rs. 2000 for an 8GB download is exorbitant. Using a slow 256 Kbps line, one can download 8 GB in less than a week and BSNL's unlimited scheme is just Rs. 900 p.m.

shelling out your bucks for these kind of offers is nothin' but a height of stupidity.
