Bharti Airtel, country’s leading telecommunication service provider which is a Catagory-’A’ Internet Service Provider(ISP) introduces new broadband plans with a impressive bandwidth offering of 4Mbps. Tagged by ‘Impatience Plans@4Mbps’ Airtel Broadband reaches a new dimension with these economical plans starting from Rs. 899. Airtel’s ’Impatience Plans@4Mbps’ is currently available in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Bangalore, Mumbai and Chennai Only.

With introduction of such plans Airtel users can get a maximum download speed of 512KBps – a 700MB movies can be downloaded in less than half a hour, watch the streaming video with out no waiting for buffering and a song within 10 seconds.

Though Airtel is saying these are unlimited plan, Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is applicable in all plans; you can download a certain amount of data at 4Mbps and then speed will be 256Kbps, which can be used as unlimited. With all plansAirtel is also providing free goodies like website buidler kit, PC Secure, Gaming and Online storage.

i guess this is the kind of heck they do in MBA to make mouth watering plans and kill the customers................besides with mtnl 599,,,512kbps plan one can down more than 18Gb .............less than wat a 6gb with 4mbps and rest with 256 will do ...so why airtel.

:-( What's the use??
No one is going to use 4Mb/s connctn for browsing.
And as for downloading 6GB will be over in a day(If a 700MB Movie downloads in half an hour :) )

God knows when will india get matured. :lol:

I think the plans r fair enough.....
If BSNL can charges Rs750 for 256 unlimited....where I can hardly even try a 700mb movie coz it takes wooping 8hrs to download
In this by paying Rs 150 more I get a better deal:)

I might need to go for a new internet connection because of HUGE bill issued by BSNL. Reliance net card was awful for me and I am sure their fixed connection would be same. But still, is it manageable? Frequent disconnections? Speed? Customer Care?

In all fairness I would say, BSNL home 500 plan is the best one. I am using it for the so many years and I am very well satisfied with it.

there is never a frequent disconnection but after 7-8 hour there net get disconnected and you have to login again..

Customer care is the best I must say 2 days and problem will be solved

Speed is little varying at day time i get around 35-45 download speed and in night time I get 45-52kbps..

it rocks..

I use MTNL Rs. 599 Combo plan, 256 KBps umlimited, which now have DOUBLED (to 512 KBps), at the same charge !!! I am so glad and happy with it :bananana: <-- look me dancing!!

Oh ya... and I forgot to mention - its with NO download cap !!!! Cheers...

with a 6GB cap, the plan is very non inviting. MTNL 512kbps unlimited @ 599 bucks is a much better deal.

I am least interested in speeds these days with the STUPID Fair usage policy.

These companies should be dragged to courts for misguiding the customers.

i think BSNL home 500 is best paln because it is resonable and it gives a speed of 1 mpbs easily and download is unlimited in night(2-00 - 8-00)
