Airtel Sudden Reaction!

I have been using Airtel Broadband since 2007 & According to my plan Airtel is providing 512K Plan Uptill 5GB & then speed decline to 64K Plan But this never actually happened. I always download more than 15Gb per month & My PC remain on for all of the month day & night due to downloading in progress but recently Airtel actually decreased the speed. And when I try to contact them they have no Answer about this sudden change?

They are throttling P2P. You cannot do anything.

Yah! That's Sad but they have done one thing i.e. increased the plan....
Now I got 1MB plan for first 5Gb & then after speed is about 256K but this is also slow for me who loves Internet

A lot of users had a free run. Even I had never faced FUP but slowly everyone gets affected. I started seeing FUP 7 months after my connection.

There is nothing that can be done.

My Ex-Boss always said this "Its your headache :twisted:

" (He did make the smiley face, except for the red eyes)

According to my friend who uses Airtel's broadband from last 5 years, Airtel changed some policies recently. Now a customer have to pay even the cost of cables if it's found damaged in case of a complaint!

I think it's safe to say now.. Airtel sucks!

Fortunately, I have MTNL! True Aazadi!

That's Bad Airtel :twisted:

I know that Airtel Now days getting crazy but Airtel is a Trustworthy & Secure service as They always come in time when I call them and always give good offers in case of when we say them we don't want your connection now :mrgreen:

.....
Maybe Airtel will reform later on! :-?

Well the free lunch OP was getting has finished. Now come in true terms of your BB connection :wink:

Airtel has so much demand in our area that they will just DC and find another taker in the same hour. I told the same to my friends to squeeze a 4mbps conn out of them, but looks like Airtel has the upper hand here.

Airtel is Not Providing the 4MB Plan Even Me & My friends are Giving them 50 New Connections in our Area! It's Really Difficult to Squeeze 4MB Plans out of them

I dint get this.
Btw Airtel has upgraded The FUP for many plan i feel.Not in the website though.
I pay around 550 a month
1 mbps speed before FUP was 5 gb
Now it is 25 gb.
Hope this is not a mistake by Airtel

when did it happen, I am still paying 800 with tax for 512 till 10 GB and after that 256Kbps but from last few months I get 2 MBPS till 10GB, still it is less

It is cheating ....

^i think since January

They might soon increase check it this month if they increased.
But still after crossing 25 gig is a Horror 256 kbps

G

airtel bb quality is good but very strict on fup...bsnl has still flaw ...i am getting 4mbps ul still even after 8gb sometimes...but the connection stability is bad damn.

Yah! My friend is saying to me that now it's 25 GB? I have to contact Airtel for that...

Since January I am getting 2 Mbps on my 512 connection but with same stupid 10GB FUP

Nope, I cover my FUP in less then 2 Days. It's long 28 Days of So called broadband 256Kbps. which is not even enough to browse internet without frustration.. IMO minimum 512 is needed to surf present sites.

Dont.Airtel might reduce it

I feel im a snail on 256 kbps.Dam to open a image also it take around 1 min

I have contacted them & they are saying that Give them the Number of my friend but I don't gave them... Of Course I have saved my friend but that is not good. Airtel said me your plan is far better than you are paying but Airtel is really doing Partiality! Because my friend is getting 25 GB and I am getting 5 GB for same!

i had bought the 'smat byte' 10GB pack twice when i was on 5GB plan

maninder4k, you were spared for so long by Airtel, I am surprised actually. It has been around 6 months or so when people were reporting that Airtel has finally started capping their plans. Before that the cap was just on paper, in practise people DLed to their hearts content. Soon everyone on Airtel fell under this blanket.

If you give your friends number, they will most likely revert his connection to one like you rather than give you a similar plan.

Also for all to check how many GB are left, what do you use?

I am currently relying on this link which is not actually meant for checking usage but it gives the info nevertheless,
Smartbytes Packs - High Speed Internet Broadband Connection: airtel

Your DSL ID xxxxx_kk
High speed data transfer limit 75.0
GBs left in your account 37.8
Days left in the current Bill Cycle 5

I am using networx to keep a record of my usage.

yes, I must one of oldest customer of airtel.. But it is from last 6 months FUP started working..

I get sms and E-mail when I reach 80% & 100% Data Limit.. Usually in less then 2 days.

I am thinking to jump to either 1.6K or 2.2K plan which has 75GB and 150Gb FUP respectively.with 2MBPS speed.

I guess you must be able to check our usage while logging in to Airtel site.

Yah! I had a Good Luck :-D

Now It doesn't matters becuase it's over now!
