Airtel 3G Tariffs and Packages

[moindear]

I'm waiting for Aircel 3G Unlimited at a reasonable price....we always used to wait for things that won't turn out well...& we knew that too

U wont get any speeds for Aircel, 3G or no 3G, speeds will be sorta similar

guys do not even think about aircel anyway, my feedback about their trial speed is given in the same thread. the speed was so pathetic , i felt like running out of the store. they had kept Nokia N8 for demo for 3G speeds. moreover the prices will no less then the airtel:isleep: or vodafone:dance:

If Aircel was to offer unlimited 3G then why would they make their 2G plans limited just month before 3G launch:irock:

I did a speedtest just before a couple of minutes and i was surprised to see Speedtest.net showing default server as Dhaka

What could be the reason for this?

Got following speeds:

Note the distance.

Going by what they did with broadband, things can only get worse!

The prices will change in the coming months, but its a long time. Things will change due to consolidation after MNP

guys i got rid of airtel today, placed request for MNP and ported to BSNL.:dance:keepin my fingers crossed for successfull porting. Airtel buggers are calling me since morning to convince and i got irritated. i told them, they can't do anything since i have already made up my mind for change and also paid security deposit to BSNL

I doubt airtel slashing prices of 3G tariff.
Yes if any one wants to come out of Airtel because of costly 3G tariff then they will welcome you with retention plans :grin:

Could you please tell us the procedure you followed to port your number? and what all happened in BSNL office?

i went to J C road CC of BSNL. a very polite gentleman welcomed me and asked what i can i do. well, i shown him MNP unique code recieved and i asked why i should switch to BSNL. he was smart and replied in very short and precise manner---Sir, many people are porting from Airtel to BSNL for simple reason of low 3G tariff and good connectivity even in remote areas, also he told that ---sir, i would not lie, practically BSNL voice tariff is even more expensive, but you will have good connectivity everywhere also with 3G in hills and remote areas. he also mentioned contracts have been given to Huawei for further increasing the 3G bandwidth for higher speeds like 21.1 mbps.
well, i was impressed and immediatly filled MNP form with postpaid form. he attached MNP form, postpaid form and last copy of bill paid reciept and passport size photo . i handed over 500 security deposit for STD facility with roaming.
last he gave printed payment reciept.

also explained that once customer report will be recieved from Airtel, i will recieve Msg from BSNL to switch as per mentioned procedure.

one more thing cc representative told that Govt is infusing so much funds to keep the the service alive and if people like you will join the network then it might become No.1 in india in terms of service and network reach.

still airtel cannot match their coverage becuase of simple reason, BSNL have installed towers on top of remotest telephone exchange where airtel cannot even think due to geographical limitation! examples he gave like sand deserts in rajasthan. or leh and ladhak in north east and hill station of darjeeling .
well, that impressive!:bowtoyou:
