Definitely something weird going on at Airtel...... now I am getting 128kbps....... I'll wait a day or so before I complain....

well getting lower speed sucks dude, i feel for you... how r u hooked up to the modem, via ethernet or usb.... lemme know

 

[Sushubh]

net is working fine. dedicated downloads are faster. surfing is average.

 

[ultra vires]

I'm using a USB modem - the ZyXEL one.... just didn't have much of a preference between USB and Ethernet....

Hi guys, guess what ?
i have been getting a steady speed of over 50 KB/s going upto 60 KB/s for the past 3 days. No seriously i'm not kidding. I'm using a home999 plan, 256 Kbps connectivity.

I am in the same boat. Got Home999 2 weeks back, initially the speed wasn't good but since last week or so I am getting 50-55 KB/s download speed, with sometimes touching 70/80 KB/s.

wow, you guys are so lucky. I feel lucky to touch 7KBps which is VERY rare on my 64Kbps connection . You get more than 10 times the speed I do

After looking at a few posts, I rang the airtel cc fellas and asked them of this. But the lady there told me that they have upgraded only those users who used to have an old plan "home 995" which is a plan with hour based tarrif. She also told me that it won't be an unlimited connection because the hours limit will still be there. But I insisted that all those fellas in the forums were on Home999 too and that their connection is 'unlimited'. But that lady says she knows the plans better than them and that you fellas might've misinformed me.What the hell? Did all of you guys with 512kbps have had the home 995 plan? And are you sure this one is unlimited? I would not want to let my 512kbps dream off so soon.

not sure bout unlimited it is only for volume based i think . then those downlaodin like heck on 512kbps line should hold on there horses and check with airtel CC guys if they are on unlimited or not
