What the f**k was that means? Is that true for all global ISPs or restricted(?) only to Airtel? I guess even if this practice is uncommon, Airtel will always ready to adopt anything to cheat thier loyal customers!!! :wall:

speed varies among all service providers. airtel should start providing speed of 8 mbps at least in limited data transfer plans. then we shall gettrue download speed in range of 1 -- 8 mbps. contentation ratio defines the speed which varies while surfing or downloading, for example if the download contentation ratio is 1:8 in a 2 mbps plans then download varies between 256 kbps to 2 mbps (( 2048kbps/8 = 256 kbps))

well guys the technology is called "A"DSL...A in ADSL stands for ASYNCHRONOUS which means on higher speeds upload is "BOUND" to be slower than download...and this is true for all the ISP globally...
