I have been using Airtel broadband for the past 6yrs.. 2Mbps connection.. I tried very hard to change my plan to
4/8Mbps plan. But every time i called the customer care i was told no feasibility..
Thought to change the provider .. It was Act this time.. I placed the request 10days back and still no reply from
them..They have not told till now whether my place is feasible or not..
Finally had spoken to a BBNL guy around 6 pm ... He said they will provide a free demo installation, which we could use for 3 days and take up the connection if satisfied. Within 20 mins, 2 personel showed up and asked us to fill the form ( no proofs were asked as it is for demo ). They said they could give only modem for demo which is the wired connection. We said we use only Wifi and need wifi router. Immediately he got a brand new D-Link router and
did the installation. the connection to modem was through TV cable wire. He gave us an username and password. At 7pm we got our connection.. He said the speed will be between 6-10Mbps.
Youtube 1080p videos buffered immediately without a pause.. Downloads were between 500-700.. Sometimes it even reaches 850Kbps.. From approx 250kbps to around 800kbps, its a huge leap in download experience and unlimited data usage ( ie. no FUP limit ) let me not always keep tab on my limit.
The overall experience is positive. Im still in demo period. I initially thought to have airtel for back up. But now feel its not very necessary, since this guys have been taking care of sanjay nagar area , the response is attentive.
Let me come back after using BBNL for few weeks and write my review ..
