umm..i doubt if Airtel can support 8 Mbps on majority of its network, as mentioned by others even 4 mbps is not available everywhere, AFAIK Airtel's network in NCR is not exactly FTTC much less FTTB, so its really a moot point, besides one cannot even fully utilise the bandwidth on offer at the time when one needs it because of the throttling/traffic shaping. In contrast MTNL seems to be pushing FTTH aggressively, in the last few months the area i live in has been completely wired, MTNL's 10 Mbps 80 GB plan is much better because 1) 8~10 Mbps denotes the beginning of the range where one would prefer to be over fibre rather than copper from the stability point of view 2) MTNL's policy of little to no throttling 3) option of a practical and working IPTV installation

And I dont know why Airtel do this. They release their new plans with so much secrecy. Every bloody time !!!
with this secrecy ........****tel makes u feel special ........so that you think urself as exclusive customer (which actually is not true) ...............and u are the very few ppl who is offered this deal or tarrif.
gimmick thats all.:Storyteller:

true that........actually its a global phenomena........there is hardly any govt running any country in this world. not even USA.
true owners of the country may be debatable though. (i mean mukesh ambani running country.......i doubt that, but surely somebody else is running the country other than govt)

In this case, wrong Mr Ambani.
Yeah well, what can we do as the people.
You grossly underestimate your power, kind sir.
Not worth it, unless the FUP is min. 300GB
Why should the FUP double just because the speed does? Are you going to download exactly twice as much information? I doubt it.

It *should* be able to - I shouldn't assume Airtel is using DSL equipment that is so old - surely much of the stuff in metros should be ADSL2+ compliant, so as long as the lines are in good enough condition and the length short enough (

These would be oooooooooooooold. They also launched 30 and 50mbit/s VDSL plans too, but I don't even know anywhere it's available.
With all torrent sides blocked by Airtel, whats the point of upgrading?? They might as well degrade speeds back to 256ks so that we can check our emails and chat online. Ha..8mbps ka aachar dalenge...!!!
Somebody has never heard of Tor or the Coral Cache The Coral Content Distribution Network
