Akamai report – India is 115th in the world in Broandband speeds. Seems like our ISPs need to be more “impatient” in upgrading their services.

According to the latest “State of the Internet Report” published by Akamai, India stands at the 115th position globally amongst 223 Countries. In other words, over 51% of the world has better internet speeds than India!

While it’s no surprise that countries like Sweden, Japan, Korea are waaaaaaaay advanced than us when it comes to both broadband speeds and broadband penetration, here’s a list of countries you may be surprised are technologically superior to us in this aspect.

airtel broadband now accused of fraud related to calculation of data consumption

3 Replies

We have long criticized airtel for their fair usage policy which is increasingly affected more of their customers leading to more protests.

We now have a case of a customer who discovered that the company does not even calculate your internet usage properly.

Check out the story of this man who is probably the last man airtel wants to hear about right now!


Airtel Broadband Switcher? Still deciding? Give your input!

Alright. I should have done this long time back. But here is a form that you can fill out if you are/were a customer of airtel Broadband.

The basic idea is to get some more feedback from the users. Users who have discarded airtel Broadband for some reason or the other. And feedback from users who are still contemplating it…

A spreadsheet format is easier to present than a messed up comment section. So, here you go…

You can skip any field that you do not want to fill in!

The SAY NO TO AIRTEL Campaign

1 Reply

We have been protesting for a long time against the airtel Fair Usage Policy.

Now that the company has launched their 3G services, there has been a need to criticize their crappy 3G plans which also feature a fair usage policy of its own.

The best plan on offer is worth Rs. 2000 that gives you 3G speeds for around 14.5GB after that your connection is dropped down to 2.5 KBps. Yes. 20kbps. This is even worse than that of their broadband plans where the lowest speed on offer is 256kbps.

Check here for more details on their crappy 3G plans.

Anyways. Another airtel customer has started a campaign aptly named SAY NO TO AIRTEL. They are specifically targeting 3G and we support them in that. FUP remains a common problem. Whether in broadband or in 3G.
