If something is too good to be true - read the fine print, it probably is.

go to delhi circle and click on value combo 1599. i guess all circles except haryana have been fked.

the least they could do is to let the older customers be on the plan, speeds and limits they signed on.

edit: atleast the 256kbps plan can be deemed as illegal or they can be forced to call it non-broadband.

stonedsurd · 02-20-2009

I see. Well, I will call dad in the afternoon and see what's what.

d3mon · 02-20-2009

Well I still see the home 799 and 999 plans as broadband topups... not sure how this works though....

rpm19050 · 02-20-2009

i don't have a clue as to what do the 'topups' mean here. what is the sense of a topup on a postpaid connection? can anyone who used/uses these explain?

**KiD0M4N** · 02-20-2009

This is pure awesome ness

1Mbps till 50GB and 512Kbps beyond that.

So if you download 24x7 on your Unlimited 1Mbps connected, you would reach the 50GB can in < 5 days (correct?) and for the rest of the days you are downloading at 512Kbps, thus reaching a MAX of 150GB + 50GB = 200GB!

Dear Airtel, what about the USERS who did not want to go beyond 100GB limit but wanted the 1Mbps speed when downloading critical files? Trying to screw us over?

Regards,
Karan

There you have it.
I'm still waiting for a reply to my letter(s).

Ugh, why are toilets more important to this country than internet?

ManISinJpr · 02-20-2009

Why are we so helpless in this country, is this what is democracy.

Jas Praja tatha Raja !!! how true.

and the problem is not that airtel is doing it... problem is that if they get away with it, other isp' will follow suit.
