Airtel has announced thier new 8Mbps plans and are working on the new pricing right now.. according to the sources the price will be somewhere in the region of Rs2000-2500 per month but this speed comes with a few drawbacks one of them being a less then 10Gb cap for monthly usage which is a shame as with an 8mbps speed you can download that much within a few hours so I dont see much point in such speeds when you cant make full use of it.
Airtel has been strugling to give the promised speeds to those who have a 2Mbps connection so I am not sure how thier networks will cope with a massive surge in demand due to new 8Mbps rollout in the near future unless they have plans to make thier network better with new hardware and ofcourse a better customer service attitude. If you would like to discuss or read furthur about Airtel broadband please feel free to register at the broadband forum and share your views aswell.
Yeah….its a goood think to do with Indian Internet connection. Actually here in India internet connection is five times the cost that is available in US or UK. Here people aren’t able to even get 128KBPS unlimited connection as it’s priced at Rs.699/- PM where as in US 2MBPS unlimited connection is available for $25 i.e. Rs.1100/- PM & moreover Indian ISP’s don’t know that doubling the internet connection speed won’t just double Cost. So i think this 8MBPS unlimited internet connection here in India would cost 32000/-($760)PM then who will be able to get this connection, it would be costing a months salary!!!

Looks like Airtel is in the mood to joke. If not a joke then what else are they talking about 8MBPS for 760$. This only for an internet connection. In the other Asian countries like Japan and Korea normal internet connectivity starts at 50MBPS. Calling ourselves as a nation with a strong IT force looks like a farce.
What are the other ISP services doing. Aren’t anybody able to price the internet comparable atleast to US standards. Can’t we provide unlimited internet @ 6mbps for 50$ or Rs.2000/-. Looks liek we are headed downhill instead of raising our heads and moving forward.
God Bless India with a world standard Internet connection at affordable rates.

No ISP in India by themselves can offer huge amounts of bandwidth because there isn’t any incoming capacity lines, and whatever is available is being utilized to the max.
Read about Unity and other under-sea cable systems that Indian ISPs (Airtel for example) are taking active role in. By the end of 2009, ISPs in India will be able to offer 2 Mbps Unmetered connection and by the end of 2011, 8 Mbps unmetered should be available.
