Airtel Double Internet Speed Offer Withdrawn

[testest123]

You remember back in March-June time-frame when Airtel automatically doubled everyone's broadband speed for free. That offer is no longer available and Airtel has cut everyone's speed by half.I was on 512kbps before the upgrade, since last 5 months i enjoyed 1mbps because of that offer and now today i noticed that i am getting 512kbps. I called up customer care and the guy told me the reason of 512 is that Airtel has withdrawn the offer. Now all the customer will be thrown back to their original speed.I was shocked and surprised so I called another customer care number where you get charged Rs. 0.50 per call and that guy also confirmed me that Airtel has taken off that speed. I was so angry and sad that why am I not told about it in advance. I was not communicated before making my speed half. I logged a complain and told them to send me an email about the reason of setting my speed to 512.I got the complain number and now am waiting for a communication from them. I also asked for the other options, he gave me the only 2 options for HYD.1mbps - FUP 15GB (after that 256kbps) Rs. 1099+Tax2mbps - FUP 20GB (after that 256kbps) Rs. 1299+TaxThis is such a bad news to all the airtel broadband users Suck :isorry:

You should have been with them for 4-5 months then asked for some retention plans. They have amazing plans in that.

I got a reliance plan 3gb day and 10 gb night for 600 bucks. Plan cost is 1049 for new users. Those plans are not usually advertised and given to customers who have been with them for more than an year or two

This is really bad for us the customer. First of all Airtel get all the good name in Media to provide double speed with no money and now they will not publish this to media about the half speed. They fail bigtime in capacity management. I am going to email them and show them this URL for such a negative publicity.

I've changed my landline number recently due to some personal reasons. They took advantage of it and reduced my speed from 1 mbps to 512 kbps with 20 GB FUP. Previously it was 100 GB. My bad luck......
