Airtel 3G 1MBPS Download speed in Bangalore

Hi Friends,
I know that many people needs unlimited internet plans but in current scenario
Private telecom operators are not providing Unlimited plans for general use. instead they are providing **** plans as we all know.

I wanted to port my Airtel number to BSNL 3G but after checking the airtel 3G speed in Bangalore i changed my plan...
I am getting 1MBPS download speed... If U don't believe then check the attachment then you will surely believe....

Are you using any USB stick or getting this speed using a 3G handset? I am getting dismal speeds

I am using nokia c5 as modem....

yes you are right....thats why i am enjoying airtel 3G speed but its not unlimited thats the only problem...
Airtel 3G speed is better thn other private operators i guess...

C5 -good looking new gen Nokia phone for video calling with front camera with decent battery life.(unlike androids)
Iam impressesd that with Nokia Pc suite, it gets good speed in pc browsing.!

you can use 2g plans also on 3g ...just recharge by 98 & use on 3g ..


this trick working in delhi

now its stopped.
if u'll do a fresh recharge now, ur sim's speed profile will be changed to 2G.

let me know buddy

@airtel3g : the maximum speed u get through a port in xp is 921kbps so how u get 1mbps speed.i m too using c5 00 please reply early........

just got a new airtel 3g sim, have not tested the speeds, will check and let you know. My BSNL 3G speed is capped to 2 Mbps download.

Yes but nowadays 3g on 2g is not working ..........so sad..!! in airtel but working in voda { tested }

I have found that it really depends on the area. Where I live (outskirts), I get speeds ranging from 1Mbps to 3Mbps while using the 3G modem Huawei E1731. While in the city , I can get upto 4.5Mbps on my iPhone. Never seen more than 4.5Mbps on airtel in Hyderabad
