rEdshiFt 1 Report post Posted November 18, 2004 thanx for the link Deepu... ...CLEARED MY DOUBTS i was amused too, by the Ad in newspapres about this Airtel 'Broadband"... the key words in the print ad, i thought were... 1. speeds Upto 512 kbps .... 2. charges starting from Rs.249... and also 3. "internet for the impatient !!! damn the tricky advertisers....PPL, IF U WANT THE REAL PICTURE OF THE MONTHLY TARIFF - CLICK DEEPUS LINK.... for 'home' users ...the most cost-effective plans would be ones without any d/l limits....other plans have ****ty d/l limits...as expected.... the 512 kbps speeds for 'business' users - the Minimum is Rs.2500/month...besides, all the 512 schemes have a damn d/l limit... Above the d/l limits, the charges are un-f**king-believable...seriously. its Rs.1.40 Per MB....WHAT THE ****....thats Rs.1000 for 700mb movie download....crazy. Well atleast airtel is honest when it advertises "internet for the impatient !!! me...i think i'll jus wait for some more time.... i mean how 'broad' can this broadband be when its riding on the good-old copper wire ?? Nother page on the airtel website claims DSL technology CAN supposedly provide "data rates from 128Kb to 8Mb per second depending on the type and cost of the service"....what can i say !? - look for the key-words !!!

Ganesh 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2004 Well, i had applied for a touchtel dsl connection when i came to chennai.the executive collected the installaion money from me and assured me that he will give me the line in 10 days. i did not get the line for 30 days, and i cancelled the connection. I never got a clear answer why it got delayed and finally i got pissed off with them and cancelled my connection and they refunded me the money after a month :-X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
