They are aiming at a particular section of the market - 18-30yr age group to be specific .......

anyways they r trying to portray this uber-cool class of youngsters (impatient ones) using this scheme lol ....... but they have ended up looking stupid ...... Indian advertisers have no creativity .......

what u can do with this connection

Watch videos without having to wait
surf / IM mail quickly
Play recently released games on the internet
upload/download to a certain extent

basically nothing much changes ....... except that u pay thru your nose for it

As internet costs so much in India ... y did nt they just come up with a 4mbps plan ?

Yep.
The group who normally acts impulsively and rarely make detailed evaluation before taking a decision.

Its basically a plan to dupe people and trap them to pay through their noses.

I'm sure many intending customers must have changed their minds after going through this thread. (after all, not for nothing we get more than 3000 guest visitors daily).

OK. Guys. Criticize if you like but tone down the acidic language.

These AIRTEL guys are actually very smart "IDIOTS" who are trying to milk the moolah on their new offering 16 mbps speed........... not worth....... any smart guy will buy original DVDs/CDs rather than spending that much money on downloading pirated movies.............

Looks like a great plan to me.

For a business account Rs 5000 isn't that bad. (At least not when i convert it back to AUD)

I know there are cheaper options around, but when your looking for speed, there doesn't seem to be anything else that quick around.

I want to use it for a small site office, 5 to 10 people using it for email, VPN, files, etc. (remote access from Australia).

Not interested in downloading movies, or anything else. Just the speed.

Any one know what the upload speed is?

And it isn’t available everywhere either. I applied for its installation in Sector 13, Rohini and they said it wasn’t available for this area (a residential complex right in the middle of the capital of India).

The problem is that we, the real Internet users, are only a minority (and not even a very vocal one at that). Airtel doesn’t care what we think unless it hurts their bottom line, which I’m sure it isn’t.
