High Speeds on Airtel's home 699 plan!!

Im getting a constant 60 KBps (that's 512 kbps instead of the normal 128 kbps that i should get!) since afternoon today.. Anyone else experiencing the same? Has Airtel upgraded the speeds? And mind you, im on an unlimited plan!

hey congrats dude... download what ever u like who knows if this is temporary ...

Wow, speed boosts are occurring earlier than expected. It seems you have been upgraded to 512kbps unlimited plan at Rs.699 p.m. Congratulations. Yesterday I talked to airtel customer service in my city and they told that it would be another 2 weeks before they announce new plans. Seems the new plans have arrived.

The bad part is that due to BSNL blocking the space for underground cables, Airtel cannot provide me broadband in my home.

i am on 256Kbps Ultd Airtel in Delhi and I haven't got any boost

^^ Try rebooting your router.. And i dont think its temporary since 2-3 more people have reported the same.. (from different areas).

no change here

it used to happen to my airtel connection.... on occasional sundays, i'd get 50-60kbps d/ls.... that used to be fun... but now that they know how badly i abuse this connection, i guess they've blacklisted me or sumthn...

confirmed...i m in chd with 256kbps plan.i m getting 66kBps flat.
wow.....

on the contrary , im experiencing reduced speeds and lag , i checked on speedtest.net and found dwnld to be 64 kbps and upload 118 kbps , im on the 699 plan , this is the case from last week onwards, they are making me lose faith in them which i once had

Speed gone! Just rebooted my router and the speed is gone!! Back to 10 KBps

gone....gone.....gone......back to crappy 20KBps on 256kbps line.

Now im getting 256 kbps.. which is double of my normal 128 kbps.

i am back on 128 plan speed

omfg, i restarted my router and me too getting above 30KB , i am on 128 k .

Well i am on the same Airtel plan and in Chennai but no change seen here.

Heard from employees that after pongal,speeds plans will be revised.

K

It may b possible..
that the airtel ppl may b testing the high speed..

Nothing here yet in Mangalore @ 256 kpbs unlimited plan

haha! the good times... im gettin 30kbps!!!! this is totallyy awesome

i am in chandigarh on airtel 699 plan (128kbps ultd)
since the start, i havent been getting double the speed at night (as i have read abt it at some places)

since abt last week of december, i have been getting lower net speeds than usual.

however on 11, 12 jan i got almost double the speed (i.e.on torrents d/ld+ u/ld =30-34kbps) from morning till evening or so (when i had restarted my modem, the speed was back to its usual slow self)

however, no such luck today....

is airtel planning to come out with newer plans also? (fingers crossed...

i have got an inside news.a buddy of mine is with airtel hardware department.and he told me that airtel is testing 2mbps speed lines but no 2mbps will only be given by march not b4 that.when i asked him how sure he is....he replied i aint sunil mittal buddy....but this is the news we @airtel are getting from HQ office.

what da fudge.....

I am also not getting anychange..I am on 256 unlimited and downloading is around 35KBps

Are you sure about this ? I seriously doubt it.

And it does not matter to me as i have a D-link GLB-502T router which supports 1 Mbps u/l and 24 Mbps d/l.And i am on airtel 600 plan.

i have some zyxel modem... :S the airtel ppl installed it, and its a usb modem...
and it supports upto 832kbps... and newayz... if airtel plans to upgrade to mbps speeds, they're prolly gonna compensate by sellin/retailing modems to customers, that support higher transfer rates...
well, thats wishful thinking i guess... its been 3 years since i've been on what they call 'broadband', and im pretty much on square one, barring the happy days when i got 30-60kbps d/ls.... amen...

I am uisng home 256 unlimited:

Well i don't know upto what speed my modem (Beetel 220Bx ADSL2+Modem) supports. Nways in the specs it says it has the following interface:
1. LAN: RJ-45 port for 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet connection
2. WAN: RJ-11 port for ADSL Line
3. USB: USB port for PC connection
For full specs *beetelmodems.com/220bx.html.

I'm in Delhi. Using MTNL broadband 256 kbps plan.
Used to get speed of upto 35 kbps.
Now, MTNL is upgrading all it's 256 kbps plans to 2 mbps.
Yup. 2 mbps.
My plan connection has been upgraded & I'm getting speeds of upto 220-225 kbps.
Cool man.
A 10 MB file downloads in less than 3 minutes.

But, if i'm not wrong,there is the max free download cap on the 2 mbps plan and that shud really s##k.

Actually it does. But that's for now. It's just a start. Maybe in a few months time, they will also give out unlimited plans with 2 MBPS. But for now, 700 MB limit is sufficient for me.

I am on 256 unlimited and no change

Will this scheme be really upgraded??? As MTNL is upgrading all it's 256 kbps plans to 2 mbps... Will we get upgraded to 2 mbps??? If so when???

Will be the happiest person if they do so

R

my friend also downloaded 2 moviez in bittorrent for that day here in Chandigarh

Dude not only you, everybody will be the happiest people, well not on earth but in India. Cos I don't think anyone except MTNL & BSNL are offering 2 MBPS connections for 256 KBPS price in India.

They're currently in the process of upgrading all the connections.
If u have an unlimited connection, then sorry pal. Forget it. They're not offering/upgrading Unlimited plans with 2 MBPS. Well not now but maybe in future.

If u have a limited connection, then just wait. It'll be upgraded.

If it's a new connection, then don't know whether they'll upgrade it for now.

Unlimited users will have to currently suffice with 256 KBPS.

yea nothin happened here in trichy too

as a matter of fact , im getting low speeds somewhere in bw 8-9 KBps (on the 16 KB plan), and at nights exactly its double , i sense some foulplay by airtel corp., seems like the earthquake was a perfect alibi for them to save some of their bandwidth.

hi

no its real because the time of earthquake my net connection goes down approx 15 min & last time prevouse year also same net goes off for 30 mins but restart without low speed problem.

thanks
