Airtel new plans SUCK with a capital S

[kanny]

I subscribed to Home 999 Plus plan on 25 May and the agent was telling that plan is going to be dropped soon. So far the speed is good - going around 30 during day and 50 at night time. My previous experiences with Sify and Reliance were painful.

wtf?!?!? I am pretty sure I named this thread something like 'Airtel new plans - sucky' and not 'are disappointing.' C'mon!!! 'Sucky' isn't even a swear word..... Sushubh, I am calling PUCL

 

[Sushubh]

fine now?

 

[vebk]

yes. :thumbsup.s. Should be 'Suck' and not 'Sucks'

Well AFAIK the new plans proposed do promote the users of Airtel Broadband to make calls too. Well I am in the Limited Plan which offers me 512kbps with Night Unlimited. Now the old plan has been dropped and I wasn't even informed about this plan thingi. When I go to their customer care center in my city, the lady never bothered to explain me the plans and was busy collecting payments.. Now, I am sticking with Airtel for one reason... "They are the best among the worst!!!! :mad "And with their sucky plans... I don't know will Mittal make it in this market... I say if I were Mittal I'd have let the 14Gbps bandwidth jus like that as a spike and let the users enjoy for what they r paying... atleast for 2 hours.. I guess with our Beetel Routers we might clock up some 10 to 15Mbps at the max.. Guess.. I'm going off-topic to useless dreaming... Anyhow new Airtel Subscribers (Lamers) Enjoy the new plan!!!! Pay extra...

I dont think i can credibly recommend Airtel to a new user unless they are willing to pay the price.A price we as old users do not have to pay.Word of mouth is the casuality here

Yeah, if someone asks me which connection to take, I would give MTNL more weight than previously, where I would recommend Airtel blindly. It's kind of weird that this year both internet as well as cell phone plans seem to be becoming worse rather than better.

What this also means is if they offer any faster *unlimited* plans in the future, the same conditions will apply So expect to pay double for 512kbs with the extra phone condition :wall:

 

[vebk]

^I really doubt they will be introducing any faster unlimited plans anytime soon.
