wanting to take 2mbps unlimited plan in MUMBAI


OMG, You actually have Airtel Broadband coverage in Mumbai? Lucky you 😉

On the TRAI Data Sheet, it says "#Available only in select areas of Mumbai - Mahavir Nagar, Thakur Village, Thakur Complex, Mulund, Borivali (Sai Baba Nagar), Ghatkopar".

Rs1999 + ST (Freedom 1999 (Airtel/MM/FL/6)).

ALSO answer the following questions:


Most of these can be answered on the website...

uploads speeds in 2mbps?

There are reports of some users getting 512kbit/s, others getting 1Mbit/s.

download speeds in Kilobyte?

In theory up to 240-250.

are either UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD speeds fluctuating or stable?

Individual experiences vary.

any login dialogue or always-on internet?

I believe it's always on, connection established by the router.

can you connect a wifi router?

Yes. It would be most effective for you to buy an ADSL router with WiFi in it than use Airtel's one (or even take Airtels WiFi router option when you purchase the service), then you can certainly can do as I've replied in the last question.

does Fair Usage Policy apply of 30gbs cause the sales guy is saying it doesn't happen?

It says on the plan that it is 30GBytes of transfer at 2Mbit/s, then you are slowed down to 1Mbit/s.

mgcarley i know most of the things you answered but i wanted an anser from an AIRTEL MUMBAI userand yes AIRTEL have expanded their coverage area

I'm using a 512kbps plan in Mumbai and have not been upgraded to 1Mbps yet

How does an answer from me vs an Airtel user in Mumbai make a difference. Are you expecting that you'll find out that Airtel is lying about having an FUP?

In reality, only a user from your area could tell you what their user experience is like. Someone in Borivili might have a very different experience to someone in Worli.

not just about the FUP,everything else.how the experience is on airtel

Like I said. With these things it's always YMMV. Someone in one part of Mumbai might get Airtel awesomeness, and another person in another area might get nothing but trouble. Better to ask your neighbours or people in your neighbourhood.

Or just take the plunge.

hehe

i already knew whatever he was trying to tell me,i wanted to know whether AIRTEL sticks to what they are offering by their site specifications

I have a few issues and did not want to start a thread for it so am posting it here.

Anyways,
I was offered the 1799 impatience plan about 8 days back and decided to go for it as I'm not a heavy downloader and my usage goes up to around 35 to 45 Gb's per month.
Now, someone from the CC calls me up and tells me that 4 Mbps won't be feasible on my line because the distance (whatever the technical term was) was too big.
I had faced a similar issue after applying for IPTV connection around 6 months back so I kinda understood where she was coming from.
Now what riles me is that I do not have any clue whether the Airtel people will do ANY damn thing about it?If I need speeds in excess of 1 mbps then I'll have to change my Service provider, right?
I was so excited about IPTV but after paying the amount for the STB these people disappointed me big time.Same about the 4 mbps connection as I am fond of streaming footy matches on quality streams but wanted to run even heavier streams.

Now the only possible saving grace is the double speed thingy as I'm currently on the 1699 1 Mbps plan.But I'm not sure whether they'll change my plan or instead just tell me that it isnt feasible on my line.I mean, I have been on a 2 mbps plan a few months back and it worked well.
If they F*** up this time then its goodbye Airtel from my side.Ironically, I used to sing praises about their service quality about a year back but since then I've had issues with them regarding:
-The IPTV connection.They refunded the amount after something like 6 months, and after I called them a million times just to reiterate that I made a legit payment.
-My Airtel postpaid bill.
-The broadband plan change.

Let's see what transpires over the next month.

And yes,
I just called up a CC guy about the issues and the idiot had no clue as to what was going on.
He gave me all sorts of insane, baffling replies.He even asked me "agar aap ko 4mbps milega n speed nai aegi toh aap kya karoge haan?bolo?"

u do know that mgcarley knows more about "BB" nd ISPs' than anyone would ever know about it here nd I was talking about the whole world nd nt just India just incase u were thinking otherwise ...nd has given us all ton of info. on it so be thankful as he was trying to help u out.

Moving to ur answer......

I am on airtel "BB" for long time now.....their speeds are good cc service is above avg. (used to be very good 2-3yrs back)
but they luv to giv u double bills whn mtnl is offering same speeds at half rate for past 3-4 months. Airtel also loves to discriminate among its customers as ppl in Banglore got double speed offer and rest in like Delhi....Mumbai did not.
