varunpatel 31 Report post Posted March 23, 2014 Hi Dr. , I have been using Airtel Broadband connection at both Home and office for last 5-6 years and I can say that the service and network is best in class. The experience has very good so far. However, as far as VFM is concerned, I would like to mention that they are expensive compared to the competition. Airtel have recently increased there rates by min. Rs.100 on all there existing plans since last month atleast in Gujarat Circle, not sure about Delhi. They also used to offer Good retention plans which were surely VFM but they have also stopped providing the same upfront since last 2-3 months. I think u will be able to find other better options in Delhi with good services and better rates compared to Airtel. If in case u decide to opt for Airtel, U can opt for an existing plans which u find suitable for your requirement.After using it for 3-6 months, U can apply for a disconnection request and they will call u up and offer a better plan at good rates. Thats the only option remaining with Airtel to get a good VFM plan. I decided to opt out of Airtel bcoz the plans got expensive.They were not able to provide me with a retenion plan on contacting customer service. Finally I decided to disconnect and placed a request. After that I received a call from Delhi Airtel office asking me the reason and thats when they offered me a better plan/option. Let me know if I can be of any help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igloo 1 Report post Posted March 23, 2014 I was in same boat as you using 1mbps 999 ul plan, problem with mtnl is each time line gives problem, i needed to sort it myself. Mtnl support is about landline working only, no line condition or noise etc. The technical guy they send at home is a biggest moron u ll encounter. Airtel was not an available in my area so got this newly launched mts mblaze ultra wifi dongle with 999 plan of 40GB free, getting 1-1.5mbps in day hrs( 9-6) around 2+ after that. Best thing is no frequent disconnection that use to happen in mtnl line. Zte wifi router they gave also got decent range.

But I have alreday got the airtel connection, and almost all the cellular providers have pretty bad signals at my home so I doubt if world phone might have proved any better. But still I ll look around and see if I can get a trial Sent from my SCH-R950 using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
