Rep Power: 10   |  Airtel Launches 16 Mbps Broadband In India Airtel Launches 16 Mbps Broadband In India Bharti Airtel has announced 16 Mbps broadband – which the company claims to be the fastest wireline broadband on DSL in the country.

 No point in getting this connection. ( If this was introduced around 15 yrs nack, Rajini would have had an easier time in 'Arunachalam'  ) | |

Rep Power: 12 | 200gb would still be understandable... broadband is still infant here in India.. It will probbably take another 2-3 years to get some decent broadband prices and speed. At the moment ISP are just looting customers due to lack of competetion. In UK you get to choose from 10-15 different companies and here in India you normally have just one broadband provider in your area and thats what you get. |

Rep Power: 4 | has the thought now crossed the idiots' minds that why not just give decent speeds (2-4mbps) and limits (maybe 150-200gigs if at all), instead of a crazy speed and crazier limits!? !i seriously don't know what and how these guys think... |

| Offtopic : wow nice to see you Admin.... yes Broadband is still in Infant stage in India. I said 200 gb is also less because here most of the people will just download movies... and at that speed they can download tons.... but as you said manageable. but 20gb, 40gb is just impossible.. |

Rep Power: 4 | as far as downloading movies is concerned, why not spend the 3000-4000 bucks on original disks instead of giving the money to these f***ers and promoting piracy? |

Rep Power: 1 | i think we can call this as === fall of sunrise === 16 mbps speed  => sunrise  20/50 gb limit falls this sunrise...  i guess if they dont spend there crores of money in signing stars like shahrukh khan saif ali khan and kareen kapoor etc etc then they could have afford 200 gb in bandwidth ,,,,,  but it's INDIA who cares there management will think like we have the starts we have the customers.... stupid companies can't understand, only thing customers want is just quality services. take a look at bsnl they provide speed at very law rates ( some exceptions in speed and too much unsupportive support staff is extra you get as a service ) still people goes for bsnl  because they atleast provide good speed at great rates. |

Rep Power: 4 | i would have considered it if at least the price would have been reasonable, but apparently they want their subscribers to be fools and n00bs so they can screw them even more. Hope you are reading this Airtel jerks! We all know what you all isp's in India are made off! |
