Rep Power: 0 | Not so much boom as in bust?Airtel really has to do away with their fair usage policy..there's a cap of 100gb total usage on an unlimited 1mbps plan.Following which,the speed is halved!This is most unfair.And this policy is not even clearly explanied on their website.I call their customer care and they have no clue either! Airtel should wake up and realise not all their customers are plain duffers.So,people,read the fine print,when it comes to offers that sound really good. |

Rep Power: 5 | I agree but for some people like me 100 gb is more than enough. What do you do that 100 gb limit is crossed? |

The speed is not capped below 256 kbps but you may get a warning and they may suspend the account. TRAI has allowed this.  | |

No, no, that's not possible, there's no 100 GB CAP. Airtel being such a reputable and respectable conglomerate, cannot do such a thing,they would surely mention it in their terms and conditions of the plan. Please give proof of your statement since I just got this plan and would like to know. | |

The website clearly mentions that day speed will be reduced after the 75 gb Bandwidth is increased but there is nowhere mentioned that night speed will be reduced after 100gb!! And I guess some CC representative have wrong info thats why they are saying it!! Airtel can land in serious trouble if they dont mention abt the 100 gb night time cap and still apply it!! No prob with 75 gb day time cap as they have already mentioned it!!  | |

Rep Power: 10 | BSNL has given a statement saying that they will be soon announcing their new plans & the tariff for the new plans would be less than their competitors. The PRICE WAR has started... In a Price war one competitor will lower its price, then others will lower their prices to match. If one of them reduces their price again, a new round of reductions starts. In the short-term, price wars are good for consumers, who can take advantage of lower prices. |

| Platinum Member | The biggest problem with Airtel and Reliance Broadband (wired) is last mile connectivity. Very often you find out that they cannot provide you a connection. I am not even commenting upon plan speeds, costs, customer care, etc. which may be good or bad. |
