The Ridiculous Airtel Broadband Plans

Airtel is providing 16 mbps @ 1399 with 50 GB FUP in Hyderabad, just because of Beam Fibre? Proves that they don't care about their customers, but only money. Despite the fact that they CAN provide better speed at cheaper rates :pissed-off:
...and still be in profit. This is so fucked up.

Afraid I beat him to it. That's why I originally moved to Japan nearly 12 years ago and Europe nearly 8 years ago: better broadband (8mbit/s unlimited in 2001 for what was then US$65).Then somehow I ended up here :D
I have seen people changing places for business. You are different. Was that the only purpose of you shifting?
 
I think I started on cable internet. Had 32kbps or 64kbps. do not remember. moved to airtel dsl with 128kbps and yes it was bloody fast and bloody smooth. no disconnections etc.
Also I remember that my cable guy used to run a caching proxy on his server so basically... Web pages got cached as soon as someone loaded them. I worked as a web developer sort of at that time and it was a pain editing web pages of the company I worked for.
 
I have a doubt.
I am on Airtel Broadband 1199Rs plan which is 4mbps and 15gb usage.
And while enquiring the retailer he said that you can browse unlimited and we just count the limit only for download. And so 15gb is enough for you.
Actually i browse a lot and stream videos.
I have used 3g till yesterday and they count the browsing usage too.
And also what happens if i am capped to 256kbps. Do i get browsing speed also capped to 256kbps?
