Airtel postpaid Gprs plans in Assam till Yesterday..
Rs 290@p.m. Unlimited access.anything above 1.25GB charges = 20paise/50kb

Today, 8/10/08...Airtel in assam launches new Gprs plans:
1. Rs 249@p.m. Free = 125MB. anything over 125 MB costs = 20paise/50kb
2. Rs 549@p.m. Free = 600MB. anything over 125 MB costs = 20paise/50kb...

Verdict : Throw ur Airtel Sim and get a Cell One GPRS = Rs 199@p.m. 4 GB download limit..

Airtel & Voda are way too costly here in Bombay, they seem consider the metros as cash milking cows.

Airtel is not that expensive. At 15 bucks per day for unlimited GPRS, it is not that bad. But the connection quality and speeds suck with frequent disconnections.

They won't increase the charges in metros and major cities, as if they do so, they are going to loose most of their customers using data services as MTNL/BSNL will start 3G services very soon.

Yep, Bsnl would have 3G services from DEC/JAN.
and yes you would need 3G handset for it.
