As Advertised by Airtel you will get download speeds of 2MB but then herein lies the rub.
How much can you expand with Download limit of 4 Gb.

Well, those plans are outdated, I mean I saw the latest charge-plan sheet and there was
Rs. 1299
2MBPS
8GB/6GB(dun remember)

And the 8MBPS plan was only Rs.999

Those plans on AIRTEL's site are updated very late.

Is 2 Mbps the bare minimum speed i am assured and 8Mbps the max i can get? I dont really need more than 4GB because i am not into downloading movies and games online. I just need youtube to work without starts and stops and also Google Earth and Second Life.

Although you are not planning to download games/movies, you want to use youtube, google earth etc which are very much data/bandwidth intensive applications. If you are frequently going to use these then i suppose you may run out of the available bandwidth.
