Airtel Broadband's latest internet plans for Delhi NCR

[Sushubh]

no vfiber in my area. i found an airtel guy working on some box 2 days ago. i went to him and asked him if airtel has increased speeds in my sector. he said no sir, still 4mbps. i loled. and asked him how they are going to survive now that excitel has arrived. he shrudded and said it's company's headache we just get our salary and we do our job.

reliance guys incidentally have started putting up more posters in my locality that they never did before excitel arrived. incidentally they continue to promote the 2mbps unlimited plan that costs 699 799 rupees i think. does not look very good when you see a poster of excitel offering 20mbps at 799. every time i go to the market, i see more blue wires coming out of the excitel boxes (ethernet cable). i do believe airtel is losing customers on a weekly basis in my area.

How lucky u guys are having many ISP in your area but I have to survive only with BSNL with just 1Mbps speed. But good thing is 3 years and no downtime yet.

Have both excitel and hathway in my area, but still Airtel isn't ready to update their backend from adsl to vdsl. Stuck with 8mbps as max speed on Airtel since 2-3 years now.

4mbps on Airtel here. And it's useless as connection becomes unusable if anything is uploaded. Packet loss on downloads.

Excitel was down since last evening. Realized again how bad Airtel is and they still get more money from me than Excitel. Insane.

You guys filled this form Airtel
My exchange got upgraded 4-5days after filling up the form.
Though no one called be regarding it. Maybe a coincidence however still worth the try.

i love how they charge me for free things.

Filled the form, but I doubt anything would happen. They have been promising upgrade since 1 year now. Only if other ISP's were as stable as Airtel, these guys would have upgraded their speeds and reduced their prices.

I talked with Customer care they said
they can upgrade but problem is after upgrade yr net will face disconnection issue for 99% of time

Tariff plan successfully migrated from “Airtel-UL-ZOOM 2299 255GB (40Mbps/512Kbps) Combo Plan” to “Airtel-UL-Flash 2099 200GB (100Mbps/1024Kbps) COMBO Plan” along with “Airtel - Retention - 50 GB Topup Identification Component” and “Airtel - Retention - Rs. 50 Discount”.

Now to see how much that broadband surprise thinggy adds to the connection.
