I am using airtel bb 128 kbps unlimited plan. Recently i was downloading Hardy haron and two remained to complete download. Suddenly i got download speed of 260 KB/s(which earlier was arnd 18 KB/s) and download completed in just 5 mintutes and file is valid.I checked md5sum for verification :shock:

I wish airtel to make same mistake again and again :D

yaa...U can get such speed.
Bandwidth fluctuation is because of, 8 Mbps upgradation and recent problem.

Something similar used to happen with me. I was on 32 kbps connection (from cablewallah) using cyberoam client to connect to my ISP. Now the net was disconnected while downloading a file , the download speed would increase to abt 100kb/s . ahhh those were the days... ;)

ha tht's nothing for 3-4 continues days(actually in night) bcoz I use only in night (night unlimited) I got speed of 400 kbps
( 400 x 8 = 3.2 mbps)

long live airtel and do more mistakes like that
