New Airtel Broadband Plans For Bangalore

[ethanhunt]

I think they were feeling the heat from ACT. I know atleast 5-6 guys in my office who switched over from Airtel to ACT because of high speed and lower charges. I am personally very happy with these new plans - 16gbps/60GB 1500 bucks plan is what i have opted for. Fingers crossed, hopefully i should move over to the new plan in a week !

We still haven't heard from anyone who got 16mbps, have we?At some places, even 8mbps is not feasible. When I spoke to CC, I was told that 16mbps is for preferential customers who will get copper cables or some thing like that.

Lets see ... my friend got upped to 8gbps recently in Thippasandra. I am in Sarjapur Road - if i dont get upped to 16gps, i will opt for 8gbps.

I am on Rs1500 16mbps plan. I had asked for 20mbps Rs1600 plan but the customer care executive was not able to select 20mbps plan as it was not available as one of the plans.

Did they give any reason? No fibre in your area? Too far from the exchange?

 

[gopichandpai]

@uberjonWas that question for me? If yes, customer care executive said, the plan request application was not showing 20mbps plan.

 

[uberjon]

@gopichandpai.Yep. I hope that you'll try again.

 

[gopichandpai]

Yes, will call them after a month

I got 8 mbps activated for myself. Another person in my apartment also got 16mbps. So looks like they have high speed connections in my area (marathalli bridge, purva apartments!!). But for my 8mbps connection, when I check with speedtest.net, the speeds are nowhere close to 8!! the max I get is 6.2 that too rarely. Most of the time its hovering around 3-4 mbps!!
