Airtel Broadband with Static IP gives unlimited bandwidth at full speeds?

[igloo]

Any demerits of getting static IP? I cant see any.

You are vulnerable to outside attack and need good router firewall to avoid.

What are the upload speeds you getting on FTTH?

Good question. Around 10+. I've seen 16+ as well.

@manojrk: Can you confirm if there are any free/unlimited voice benefits included in this plan...

 

[warpspeed]

No, they're not included. You have to add them separately for 99 Rs.

Okay. How much does Airtel charge for the static IP? Does Rs. 3000 cover it?
