AirTel new Broadband plan

[Tushar Gupta 13]

Airtel launched a new plan as told by customer care only for new connections details are as given below

Name : ultra rapid 15 gb

Speed : 8 mbps till 15 gb than 512kbps

The most attractive thing of the plan is unlimited local mobile calls to any network without any fair ussage and landline calls will be charged at 75p

I forgot to mention monthly rent for the plan is 1449 + taxes

That's a ****ty plan why in earth will someone take a broadband plan for making calls

^^Come on dude! Stop b!tching about everything! If you don't want to make calls using your landline, then don't take this plan! No body is forcing you.

[commonman 228]

useful only for very heavy users

8 MBPS till 15GB?

It will be consumed in 2 days and then snail for rest 28 days.

[Tushar Gupta 13]

It is usefull who needs a lots of calling and same plane without calling will cost more than 1000 with airtel.

I don't b!tch about everything

And opening a thread about broadband plans where the USP is making calls is misleading

Get the point ?

Till two months back I was on the Airtel Rapid 15 GB 1299 (8 mbps / 512 kbps) Combo plan with fixed rental of Rs.1299 + tax. Also I got 1000 minutes free for local calls.

Local outgoing - 0.6 / 60

STD outgoing (intra circle) - 0.6 / 60

STD outgoing (outside circle) - 0.75 / 60.

Given my heavy download activities, I used to consume the 15 Gb limit in under 7 days and then used to slog the rest of the month with a 512 kbps speed.

So, I called up the Customer Care and asked for disconnection of my number and they offered me this retention plan.

Unlimited Voice 1149 30 GB (2 Mbps / 512 kbps) Combo DSL plan

Local outgoing - 0.0 / 60

STD outgoing (intra circle) - 0.75 / 60

STD outgoing (outside circle) - 0.75 / 60.

Now, instead of the free 1000 local minutes, all the local calls were free.

Though now my speed for the 30 Gb had reduced to 2 mbps, it still was a decent speed and 15 Gb had doubled to 30 Gb, which was a great advantage now.

IMO, this is a great plan for Airtel Combo DSL users.

Enjoy!!

Only one issue in above plan after quota is finished u will be on 256kbps. Think about it

[ashishsethi 55]

No. Speed goes back to 512. I checked. Even the name of the plan mentions that.

With Hi speed connections you will end up using your quota even before you know and end up moving at snail's pace for rest of the month.You were lucky to get the retention plan but what about regular users who will not get this plan if Airtel can offer this plan for retention why not offer it to general public as a whole. Airtel and its plans wonder if we will ever get true unlimited plans without FUP's

[::Hitesh:: 1,763]

No. Speed goes back to 512. I checked. Even the name of the plan mentions that.

ya its 512, was checking other plan...

They dont have any retention plan ?

[ashishsethi 55]

This is a retention plan.

[::Hitesh:: 1,763]

i dont think so, its listed on their website and available for any one.

[ashishsethi 55]

Very strange. I was offered this as a retention plan. I'll check it out. Thanks Hitesh

[ashishsethi 55]

You were correct Hitesh. It is a listed plan.

Anyone who has got hold of a good Airtel broadband retention plan recently, please share.

Thanks

All airtel plans FUP or cap on download.

BTW Few days back, I saw We internet ad in one of the newspapers. I checked their site and is offering all plans from 10Mbps to 100 Mbps without any FUP.. check their site www.weinternet.in
