Talking Airtel new 8 Mbps Plan

"Airtel customers will no longer have to wait for a video to get buffered while watching streaming videos. They would be able to download a 5 Mb music file in five seconds flat as compared to 160 seconds on a 256 kbps connection," according to P V V Srinivas Roa, Chief Marketing Officer.

blah blah

roughly the price point could be around Rs 2,000 for a download of 7-8 Gbs.

The question is what will the actual download speed be....

I have a 2 mbps Airtel connection - the average download speed is 380 kbps and upload 140 kbps. So I am getting about 1/6 of what I pay for.

When Airtel says UP TO 8mbs I can bet what it actually means is PROBABLY 1 mpbs.

Cheats.

let me enlighten wid some knowledge
airtel offers a max speed of 2Mbps whr b stands for bits
2 mega bits = 2048 kilo-bits a second = 2048/8 = 256 Kilo Bytes per second
and i think wat u r talkin abt is bytes .. post a screenshot of ur bandwidth test
And yes .. u guessed it rite Airtel`s 8mbps is actually 1MBps

No. Airtel is offering speeds up to 8MBps. But the actual speed you are going to get is probably going to be 1MBps!!!

I hate this "Upto"
And no limited plan should exist. Everything should be unlimited.
Both download and upload and also time.
