Very nice. But no connectivity - at least in my area.

Anyway, happy with BSNL.

Rameshjeee · 07-28-09, 05:29 PM

After seeing the 2 plans, Swift 1099 & Explorer 1099. I am planing to shift to Airtel. Currently I am using BSNL (750 UL plan).

First I need to check the connectivity. 2 years back when I contacted them, they said there's no connectivity in my area.

But I will wait for some more time, I am hoping BSNL will bring in some new plans (unlimited)...But when...Le me wait & watch...

Explorer 1099 is better for me than swift 1099 as I can DL a movie faster at nights and my laptop would have to be switched on for relatively low time!!

Moreover I access internet mostly at night!!

Yes, I have this connection. I just upgraded my 512kbps UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS to this.
I am getting download speeds of 100-120 kbps, if needed, I can post screenshots.

Thanks.

Check out the tariff in Airtel website: Here you go

But first call the Airtel CC (080-44444121) or mail (care.karnataka@airtel.in) them to confirm whether the Airtel connectivity is there in your area.

Thank you Rameshjeee,at the moment i have Rs2222 1Mb Unlimited plan(with their recent cap on d/l limit).

The Rs1699 scheme similar in terms of speed but download limit and pricing is very good...will they down grade their own existing plan?

I do not find the plan (Rs 2222 ; 1 Mbps Unlimited) in the Airtel website. The only plan with 1 Mbps Unlimited is Freedom 1699 plan. (Rs 1699)

May be from coming month you will be charged Rs 1699 + tax. Confirm with the CC.
