Recently, Airtel sales reps came to a small but wealthy village (with lots of businesses), to convert most of the BSNL ADSL users into Airtel. BSNL is doing fine actually, due to the availability of sub-exchange in that village.
It's around 15 km from my home town.
Airtel seems to provide broadband over wifi at a speed of 2mbps for Rs1200+ per month. I contacted the sales rep a couple of weeks ago and asked him, if it is really 2mbps. He said yes. I was laughing myself as BSNL is capable of providing much more speed than 2mbps. So, I asked him if it is possible to provide 10mbps up and down. He said yes and promised to get back to me with tariff in a few minutes. But, a couple of weeks passed since then. No reply from him. I didn't follow up with him, either. Because, I am not interested in 2mbps for 1200+ bucks. I am doing fine with 5mbps with BSNL at 250+GST (I am still with old plan).
I had an alternate Airtel connection in my work place which is far away from home. I haven't visited my work place for a couple of months for personal reasons and decided to cancel the Airtel connection too. When I spoke to 121 for cancellation, they asked me to give them a chance to see the feasibility in my home location. I provided with home address and within 2 hours, I got an SMS to confirm the feasibility of Airtel. 😉
I don't know if this is any kind of trick by Airtel.
Airtel may provide me with broadband over wifi at 2mbps. I am certainly not interested in it, though.
But, I wonder if anyone has any experience using broadband over wifi on Airtel?
