Airtel 1000GB bonus data is valid till 31mar 2018. So i opted airtel bb from 1 aug then how much bonus data will i get every month till 31mar?
There are 8 months left before validity date so does it mean i am going to get 1000/8= 125GB bonus data every month?

@raj2007 Did they give you D-Link DSL-224 modem?

@salaxzar which modem they gave you for vdsl?

 

[raj2007]

@raman07 Yes
Its a stripped version of the following model. i.e., without WPS & WLAN buttons
D-Link

@raman07 They gave some D-Link router (was very bulky). However, as people have mentioned in this forum, i started to face link drops as soon as I got upgraded to VDSL. The guys kept saying must be issue in the line etc and we will replace your lines. However, I knew when my lines were fine for ADSL, then how come suddenly they have developed issues. Luckily I had Huawei VDSL modem, so i replaced D link router with that and boom all link drop issues went away.

Range of D Link router is much better than Huawei though.

@raman07, No, it will not work like the way you are thinking. If you have a balance of 1000 GB, then Airtel boardband permits you to use that data for the entire 8 months as per your requirement. You can use it on the first month itself, with 3 months or extend upto 8 months. There is no boundation as per the monthly limit.

They have removed the 5 Mbps upload cap in Chennai. Getting around 10 Mbps (Max line rate) now.
