what a crappy analogy.Airtel is now surviving because people has not many options (off course MTNL and BSNL are there but their service level is not upto the mark as compared to airtel)But after launching of BWA services, airtel will sure be out of the game of they do not remove Fukced up policy. I dont mean that BWA will be very cheaper, but then consumers will be having wide options and airtel will be on loosing side.JAGO MITTAL JAGO

FYI Ppl,What Airtel Chief sayin is right... but the FUP in Airtel BB services is insane, one can take the exmaple of Singtel a major stake holder in Bharti Airtel Group, who is delievering 3 plans (6Mbps,10Mbps,15Mbps) under ADSL2+ platform with no FUP, also with 99.99% uptime. If Singtel is able to offer such a good service with whom airtel has some bigtime contracts and aggrements, Sunil is just getting away with the fear of mounting loss in the Broadband market.ShreeRama

i think at the base level the call rates sms and broadband all are cheaper (that is how it is in most of developed countries ), but in india there comes greedy people like sunil mittal (who want to be the richest person on earth ) see his steps1.airtel even charges for customer care2.airtel have fair use policy just another means to charge people3.even the mobile gprs of airtel has fair use policy 4.airtel got major circle 3g licence after much delay (there is some conspiracy factor in it for sure)5.airtel hasnt implemented the mnp it fears it may loose its customer6.when pay per sec was launched airtel even charges to convert to (even aircel let it free)7.no 100% talktime on any of its recharge its not bad mouthing but the facts , even i m a suffered ex-user of airtel . and i dont get why people takes in airtel and invest their hard earned money in such greedy private company , if they protest then only company ike these will change its stragey ? for me bsnl mtnl and few other private company like aircel or docomo are a lot better way of business for consumers

Singtel has a coverage area the size of Mumbai and is a major hub for a number of international cables and also has a bunch of data centres. 'Nuff said.

1.airtel even charges for customer care
2.airtel have fair use policy just another means to charge people
3.even the mobile gprs of airtel has fair use policy
4.airtel got major circle 3g licence after much delay (there is some conspiracy factor in it for sure)
5.airtel hasnt implemented the mnp it fears it may loose its customer
6.when pay per sec was launched airtel even charges to convert to (even aircel let it free)
7.no 100% talktime on any of its recharge
its not bad mouthing but the facts , even i m a suffered ex-user of airtel . and i dont get why people takes in airtel and invest their hard earned money in such greedy private company , if they protest then only company ike these will change its stragey ? for me bsnl mtnl and few other private company like aircel or docomo are a lot better way of business for consumers
1. This is more common in many countries than you might imagine.
2. This is more common than pure, unlimited plans on a worldwide basis.
3. See #2.
4. Wouldn't this be a government thing, not an Airtel thing?
5. Neither has anyone else.
6. I also got burned by Vodafone. I was on 1p/sec for about 3 days before I realized that it sucked.
7. That seems unusual.
Conclusion: Call rates in India are fantastically cheap on a worldwide comparison. Broadband... not so much. Just be thankful you don't live in NZ, Australia or South Africa where all of the above are expensive. NZ is about Rs10/minute to call mobiles. My parents pay Rs2700 for ADSL2+ broadband with 5GB usage (includes phone, but that is about Rs1200 of the cost only).
