according to me, the best airtel plan is 128kbps unlimited. it is reasonable at Rs. 599. i m also using the same plan.

If the usage of internet is very haigh then better go for Rs. 699 plan of AirTel.
If you want both internet and telephone then go for Rs. 799 plan from AirTel.

ok, im finally dumpin my mtnl connection and goin for the 699 plan of airtel,
just wanted 2 ask that the speed 128 is fine but what are the extra charges
aka hidden charges like service tax and all and if they r gonna give me this plan theyr gonna provide me a phone line too, are they goin 2 charge for the phone line , i dont have airtle landline so theyll have to give me a line , in other words whats the "final amount ill have to pay", i hope its 700 , and yes
does the word "unlimited" really mean like "unlimted", like can i keep on downloadin all day long without any limitations, lookin forward to ur responses...

Yep! "Unlimited" Really means "Unlimited".

I Use Airtel's 256 Unltd. Plan. I've Never Faced a Disconnection.
The Largest File I've Downloaded is 4.2 GB.. (Entire Star Wars Movie Collection ^_^)
Not Even Once did it Disconnect..

@forever: i am on the same plan,and 'unlimited ' means unlimited!
they will provide you with an airtel landline as well,but there will be no free calls included.
the total amount you will have to pay will be Rs 699+service tax+call charges.

They have extra service tax for this...

No monthly rental for your phone thing only if you use it...

You'll have to take the line its free...

They'll ask you for 1000 Rs. Deposit ---- 500 Refundable and 500 Installation charges...

Take Beetel Blue USB Lan Model that has a option for USB as well as Lan so take that and the Beetel White Colour Speaker Phone...
Ask for this only they'll have to provide it to you...

I think again airtel offers that...Free internet through GSM phones...Speed is 64kbps unlimited even in international roaming...

It is there in Mumbai and my brother uses it but than its quite costly...699 per month or something...

Just verify dude am not very sure about it

for those who are using airtel 128kbps- what average speed for downloading/uploading you are getting. i am using bsnl broad band, but feed up with there billing system. for broadband, BSNL issue monthly bill on web site, but actually letter bill comes only 2 monthly and that also after due date is over.
