Thread: Airtel 499 Plan - Need help

@ajaygowda
i download anime which are worth watching . do you watch anime by season [like fall , winter , summer] ?

ok i better not try that !!!! jail sucks.

I have a plan to 1Mbps 15GB FUP 999 from the last six days, I am Airtel company as I crossed the 15GB, which includes download and 256kbps upload thanks. I downloaded a movie, I nearly 2GB upload and download only 700MB of Airtel have started as a seed accelerator, which leads to the speed limit exhausted. From last 6 days is not able to enjoy YouTube and most of the sites load slow down and the quality of VoIP services.

Since this afternoon, I am getting 600kbps to 2mbps speeds. I had already exhausted my FUP limit for the month and they reduced my speeds to 256kbps. This (temporary) speed burst today is a welcome move from Airtel.

so there is something called uncapping broadband limit . do you know and does it work ? its bit confusing so i did not try , and dose't work in windows 7 .
-its ok i ll wait till January and hope for same plans !!! or else some other ISP

and what about the bsnl UL ,no FuP,512 KBPS ,750 Rs .?? is it worth?or is that plan still available ?

I found the link to the new plans in another forum where I am a member too.

Every ADSL connection has two kinds of profiles. The speed profile and the plan profile. The speed profile is where the speeds are set. The plan profile is primarily used for billing purposes. Unlike cable-modem based internet, the speed profiles of ADSL connections is maintained on the ISP servers. So it is difficult to alter them or uncap the default speeds according to our will.

Yes BSNL is offering 512kbps UL plan for 750/- per month. As of now, there are no fair usage policies associated with this plan.

Rumors are going on about the launch of Reliance Infotel's 4G based internet from January 2012. Naturally, the other leading ISPs must make suitable changes to the existing plans in order to fight off the competition.

i had bought extra 2 GB like 2-3 days ago soo my speed is around 1 mbps for some time i also find it strange bcs i already watched some movies ....let me check my account for how many GB i had

basically u can check how much smart bytes u used but today i got this msg

GBOD001: This service is temporarily unavailable. Please try after some time.

Quick Tips to access the URL:

The URL must be accessed from your DSL connection only
The service is currently available for Chennai and Tamil Nadu customers only.

lets see i will watch some more vids if what u said is true that would be awesome

Me too getting the same message when I try the smartbytes portal.

The speed boost of 1mbps is still there for me.

its like good old times where i watched movies online 24X7X12

and played online games for hours ,,,,i will enjoy while it last bcs if this continues i will keep airtel otherwise obviously shift

tell me one thing did u bought any smart bytes before this speed jump ???

any other have same speed boost ??

No, I did not purchase from smartbytes.

Yes, it seems many other airtel subscribers are also getting the same speed boost. Some are reportedly getting 7mbps..

its back to 256 kbps

that router trick works sometimes now too !!!! i got 1 Mbps for past 4 days ans now again its normal . i am happy i could download all i wanted and kept PC for 48 hours continually seeding torrents for revenge .

ohh trick is dont turn off modem even if u turn off dont restart it

i should check by restarting it

i did not understand . can you tell me in detail ?

i just want to confirm if i can use the username and password of my neighbor? he has connection of Mbps and he rarely uses so he told me to empty his usage till 10 GB. so if i use the password he gave is it illegal? he will not get extra bill because he has unlimited connection .

@cool_techie_tvm
-so which is the other forum? PM me .,

I am not sure whether you will be able to use others username/password.

There is a technique termed as port binding with regards to ADSL connections. Binding the username/password to the respective subscriber's telephone number. In other words, when the subscriber tries to authenticate the connection with their service provider, the machinery will check whether the request is coming from the telephone number which has been allocated to the subscriber.

BSNL does it all on the connections. I am not sure about Airtel though.

Likewise, PM sent.
