Thread: Good News Airtel double dhamaka

Circular I received along with airtel bill says
minimum Broadband speed 512 Kbps.
once you reach the allowed data download
( say "X" GB ) speed will revert to original tariff plan.

Know your Upgraded Speed.
Current speed Free Upgrade speed
lessthan 512Kbps 512 Kbps
512 Kbps 1 Mbps
1 Mbps 2 Mbps
Your free speed upgrade is currently underway and will be completed by end of June. A personalized communication on your new upgraded speed plans details will follow shortly

*Free speed upgrade is applicable till high speed data transfer limit, post which, you will revert to your original plan speed

email CC 121@airtel.in

In my previous bill there was a card that said 256/512/1Mb will be upgraded to 512/1Mb/2Mb for free within June. Called Customer Care. They said that within June 10, my 1699 1Mbps plan will be converted to 2 Mbps unlimited!

if i take new connection will then this effect the speed?

how much download speed can i expect if i take 2mbps line?

I am currently in the plan Swift 1099 - 512kbps - unlimited (100 GB limit if it exceed my speed will get reduced to 256 kbps) .

I called customer care regarding this doubling of speed , they told me i will be moving on to 1 MBps speed unlimited within June 2010 and they also said you will have new limit check of 20 GB (earlier it was 100 Gb - 512kbps ) and exceeding tat you will return to 256 kbps speed.

Any present proofs for this info ???????????????

Even if your new FUP is 20 GB, after that you will get 512 Kbps, not 256 Kbps.

Bad news for Airtel Customers having variable speed plans , I just had a word with the Airtel engineer who services my Area , he said that if you have a Plan like mine [384 Kbps in the Day / 1 Mbps in the Night , only Day time speed will be upgraded to 512 Kbps , night speed will stay as it is ] , he also stated that speeds for old customers will be upgraded by the end of June.
This is totally different from what Customer Care informed me , They said that I will get 786kbps in the Day , 2 Mbps in the Night !

Can anyone confirm this news ? , its increasingly frustrating because every representative I talk to at CC gives out different info
