Airtel Broadband speed issues

[manchandarahul]

On Airtel broadband, do you get lesser broadband speed than actually promised in the plans or speed is provided as promised?I dont get 128 kbps as promised

speed tends to hover around the theoretically maximum limit. it goes above regularly. there is no such thing as we do not get more than 80-90% of the official speeds.

I am curious to see what is experience of others with airtel broadband speed. I dont get 128kbps as promised

 

[Sushubh]

what speeds are you getting on your 128k connection?

 

[TheSilentShadow]

On my current 256kbps u/l plan I've been getting speeds of 35-40kbps on average on both torrents and http downloads so I'm getting a little extra than the theoretical limit of 32kbps.

I have the 1299 turbo plan. 1 mbps @ night and 512 kpbs @ day.

[Sushubh]

they are sold as high speed plans and not broadband.

I always get 90% of the mentioned speed. I don't think I should expect more than that.
