Airtel Mobile Office beats blackholes in sucking competition.

What the **** is wrong with Airtel. They take 15 bucks from us everyday for using their $hitty Mobile Office and can't even give proper service.

Few days ago, when I was trying to activate MO, they were telling me they were "upgrading their system" and I should try after some time. That some time turned out to be 3 days.

Now after I finally get it activated, the speeds start to crawl. Infact the downloading was so slow (2 KBps to be exact) that I was worried it might start going backwards and I might start uploading data instead. I start downloading a 100mb file from RS, halfway through the GPRS disconnects automaticaly, leaving me with a useless 52mb rar file. And this happens 4 times in a row.

Finally I decide to learn from my mistakes and decide to not download at all and just browse and go to Digit IRC. Guess what, I'm not able to go online any more. I can do it from my phone, but not through the pc. And that's exactly why we use Mobile Office for anyway.

So guys, Breaking News. Airtel Mobile Office beats blackholes in sucking competition. Phuck you Airtel. I swear if I see anybody from Airtel on the street, I'll beat them into a pulp.

On da contrary i'm happy wit airtel's bugged services.. Who else can give u free 2months mobile office.

?
And lots of ppl in my hostel are on free mobile office or free airtel online?

Even I'd not have mind if it were free. But that's not the case.

P

I get around 5-10KBps at my place and its good enough for browsing.

Ya.. I understand ... Been in ur situation..

I get 1-2 KBps hardly...

Many times my download starts with bytes/sec...

Lol even i had many off days with Airtel service.

Here is one thats especially funny (annoying to me).

Probably some 5-6 months back my airtel balance which was some Rs500 suddenly was showing rs 0. I immediately called CC and asked why balance was zero, they replied i used Airtle Live to download stuff.
I politely replied i never use the live service but the MO service. They were totally adamant that i used live service. I asked them to connect the call to their CC chief. I nearly spoke for 4hrs(new record for me) arguing with him but still couldn't convince him.
Finally after the lengthy conversation i asked what exactly i downloaded form their stupid Airtel Live........

CC Cheif :- You have downloaded all the Hrithik Roshan pics,video,truetones,polytones etc. of the site. The total cost is 614.50 Rs but since i downloaded so many things they gave some kinda discount and only reduced my balance to zero and not negative values

4 hrs ... Got be one record no one's eva gonna break

.
Speed is pretty average ova here too...

lol im gettin about 2.7~3KBps speed. but its time i learn from my mistakes and shift to bsnl broadband.. lol i lov proxifers and free net.. but now none work and even if some work they are verrrrrrrrrry slow.. so shift to BSNL broadband.

Well Airtel guys are going funny now a days, hope they have earned a lot.

BTW AirTel services are not so bad as well as not so goooood. Really sometime not only airtel, other service provider also fools customer as I have seen. Few days ago mine neighbourhood guy was blamed using internet on Indicom and was charged Rs. 8,000.00....but he is 0 for internet & PCs. When he asked for detailed packet data list. My god that list was showing him that he was using internet during exam hrs, as he have kept his phone switched off.

I think these bodies have old servers imported from somewhere like china or so on. that's why lots of customer are getting trouble.

Buddy, I am using MO 100% free since last two months & downloaded hundreds of GBs, bye god.........but when I ask airtel customer support to check my data packet transactions they say nil.

NOP is another problem. Since now I use MO all the time, I decided to deactivate NOP. But sending the message has no effect. I only get "Thank You" as a reply. Now I'm unnecessarily paying 2 rupees per day for a service that I don't use. I called cc again today and now they tell me I have to go to the nearest Airtel shop to deactivate it. WTF!

I was too fed up with Airtel.But now,I am happy here with free MO :))

I am using Airtel GPRS rite now. Getting about 3kBps.

idea is the best it offers free internet through mobile !!!

Dont deactivate it krazzy. Once you deact it, there is no way to get it back. NOP is officially over for all new subscribers.

I know. But I'm now a full time MO user. I can use MO on PC as well as on the phone. Can't do the same with NOP. Plus stuff like Youtube Mobile don't work with NOP. So even though NOP is active on my phone right now, I don't use it and don't see using it in future either. So my 2 bucks per day are officially going down the drain.

T

Suprised with the level of service u guys r getting. I get 14-17KBps easily all the time. Am in thane n another friend here claims to get well beyond 22KBps at nighttime..... Btw, i'm one of the lucky ones to have MO at flat 199 bucks per month

.

^ Thats because airtel provide edge in the metros. Its still gprs over here.

T

Indyan.... I didn't know that...i thought airtel had rolled out edge everywhere at the same time..

T

Are you guys sure that nop is officially over for all new customer ? I've been using it for last few month and its good enough for browsing(i'm posting through this connection). But it cost of rs105 per month.

By the way I used mo connection for two month back on february and march and got decent connection. Got 7-10 kpbs in day and upto 28 kpbs in late night. But i've seen in my friends machine that mo isn't that good these days.

H

I'm very happy with Airtel MO.get damn good D/L speeds of 25kBps and above (in torrents too).at late night (rt now) its over 30.all these for Rs.249/mth (unlimited data transfer).

One cannot activate NOP anymore. But if it is already activated then one can continue using it.

Wtf yaar?i am posting from my n73me using idea.I saw a "E" in the top left .is it for Edge?showed .165kbps speed!
Also ,I am not aware of any free gprs from idea

when connecting to the internet it pop ups some access point select IDEA FRESH

but it automatically selects and go with ideafresh

..and I am wrong

the speed sucks!but first it loaded fast.

also tell me ,"E" shows Edge network right?

I think there is no free plan from Idea reg mobile internet(kerala).

how to install opera mini(symbian) in N73ME ?

Also ,can I use opendns or any alternate DNS server in settings? takes too much time to resolve TD .

Airtel sucks when it comes 2 billing...There r a lot of problems with their billing and they charge their customers unnecessarily...

But Airtel's connectivity is superb...BSNL is cheap but its connectivity sucks...

yup "E" means EDGE network.

Airtel is crap, but atleast they provide free MO once in a while.

Just full use it to it's fullest and it will be VFM.

I am talking about MO only. Its cost is 30 p/ 50 kb in delhi. and isn't MO a type of GPRS ????

and yes, E is shown many times in my mobile , it started after I activated MO, can anybody explain , what is all about ??? and what its presence on screen signifies??? I have Nokia 6233.

Airtel guys are smart. They only give free MO on days when their service is exceptionally crappy. They know cause if they don't, people might come up to their homes with a chainsaw. Also on these days, when the download speeds are at a proud 2 KBps, you can't do much to make full use of the free stuff. So even if it's free, it does not seem VFM.

I dunno wht mass downloader is saying me, just take a look to screenshot.

and this is wht speed test shows to me.
*i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii280/dhanusaud/Untitled-3.jpg

Btw, it's now late night but speed is same in daytime.

krazzy you realized the fact a bit late.
they spam me maximum with their stupid offers sms and calls that i am not interested at all.

and its a different thing i enjoy browsing any website on the phone for free.

um i dont know krazy , i am using mobile office at 15rs/day. i have a sony ericsson w810i , edge enabled . i get 15kBps average on torrents . goes upto 25 on private torrents ! and since its free of roaming and airtel has good coverage i got edge/gprs network all over india . awesome stuff ! i even surfed internet while on train ! I suggest every member come to mumbai take a sim activate MO and keep using and topping up each month ! this service is not avialable in delhi . delhi airtel has only 30p/10kb plan . sucks real bad

It's exceptionally slow here right now. Pages are taking ages to open up. I've given up downloading completely. Dunno how you guys are so lucky.

NOP speeds are great. MO speeds may be due to the fact that tooo many people are using the *Free_MO* cards these days.

It's not free, I too get charged Rs.15/day.
Sometimes Airtel do not deduct Rs.15 and so I referred it as free.
