Officially you should get 384 kbps or 48 KB/s. But some people have said that they get more that this. You may be lucky also.

Regarding payments, please ask Airtel sales. Somethings that I will advise are:

- do not pay any advance
- always pay by cheque; this way you have a record.
- if advance is a must, then insist on a receipt and a written commitment - say connection will be made in 7 days of realization of cheque
- insist on knowing all terms and consitions including tranfer charges (if you shift residence), min hire period, early disconnection charges (if any), etc.

Thanks For Info But the speed u r telling that is 48KB/s will i get speed of atleast 45-48KB/s most of the time or it will be very low sometimes.

And also i have heard some availability Problem of connection with Airtel that is they don't provide more than certain number of connection in a area(in my case a Whole Pocket).
I currently Using TATA Which Expires on OCT 20,2008.
But with the speed that Airtel is Laying it's Cable i think they will come by Mid-September itself.So since i will be having my Validity in MY TATA account so should i just Pay the Installation Money which they say is 500+300=800.And can i tell them i will be out of town for a Month or so so can i that way Hibernate my connection for some time.

And the cost of 384Kbps connection here is 999+Taxes=approx Rs 1122
which is what i am paying for my 256Kbps connection

Thanks

As you can see from my user details, I am from Pune and I have no idea about service quality, speed assurance, etc. from Airtel in Delhi. Hence I cannot answer your questions. All I can say that I heard that Airtel is good in Delhi. But I can tell you that Airtel sucks big time in Maharashtra (excl Mumbai) - for BB as well as Mobile.

My advice has been restricted to general idea about how to go about for payments, etc.

You raised another point regarding paying Rs. 1122/- to Airtel for a 384 kbps connection when you are paying the same for a 256 kbps connection. To me this sounds a great reason to switch.

if airtel is available in your area then i suggest you go for it

I don't know how much Airtel is charging for their Unlimited/Limited broadband secvices, but if it is more than Rs. 500/m, then i will recommend to go for BSNL Plan 500c(2Mbps), and use any good Night Usage Manager for utlizing their "free usage time" to download few "GB" data daily.
see:Broadband How to

However if u don't require to download real big s/w's then also i will not recommend u to go for their Broadband services, its better to use their "Mobile Office" service on Prepaid GPRS Enabled sets. it will cost u Rs. 75(30 with hack) for One week activation, and its speed is about 115 Kbps which is not bad at all, however i have heared that this speed depends upon ur GPRS modem, if it is class 10 Modem then the speed may rise to 256 Kbps also.

So what did u prefer, Over 500/- Pospaid(Hidden Charges), or Prepaid(NO Hidden Charges), with Only 120/- Pm(with Hack).

on 384kbps plan the normal download (transfer rate) speed should be somewhere around 48kbps but in some cases it is going upto 60kbps at nite. and as you said that no one is telling you about shared connection so don't worry about it airtel is not on shared connection as you are using a secure connection so it will not affect you like that.
nite speed depends upon your package so better if you speak to airtel cust care about it once or check details of package...
