Free WiFi Modem?

[shouvik]

Hi All
I have just placed an online order of Airtel "Max Super 9 GB" plan for Rs 49. I hope this plan does not contain the free "Wifi" modem.
1) If so in case I want the Wifi Modem, how much do I have to pay extra?
2) Secondly, is it really Rs 49 including installation and activation?
3) Is it the unlimited plan? (they have not mentioned anywhere about unlimited hence asking)


Thanks

It's Airtel. You have entered hell.

49 :O I just hope you don't end up with a bill of 4999

I have seen the ads on this forum itself. I would not trust Airtel to do the right thing personally.

Someone just suggested me Reliance broadband, how is it?
I am looking at the 2 Mbps plan here http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/internet/wired_postpaidplans.html

Reliance is hit or miss. The standard of service range from horrible to decent.

So what option I am left with?

I would suggest test out Reliance for a month or two. If it works out, the FUP Free plans are worth the effort. Airtel should be reliable but plans are expensive and last 20% of your bandwidth quota are painful to use.

what do you mean by "[color=rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Droid Sans', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;]FUP Free plans" ?[/color]

Reliance plans do not have any FUP limits. So if you go for the 2mbps plan, it remains 2mbps no matter how much you download. Airtel 8GB plan means you get 2mbps till 8GB and after that 256kbps.
