Has anybody used Airtel's GPRS Internet service called 'Airtel Mobile office ' in SAlt Lake , Kolkata. I subscribed to this plan and I must say I was majorly disappointed with the service. I know speed is limited to 14.4 KBps but whats baffling is the diffrence in speeds for different plans. I started with there 399 plan which gives u 300MB of data transfer and beyond that they charge 5 paise per 10KB. I had zeroed in on this plan coz I thought because of low data speed this will be enough for cheking mails and stuff.
But After using it I got download speeds of 4-7 KBps. I used up 100 MB in first 2 days alone. So I shifted to 899 unlimited plan. It offers unlimited data transfer. But I was very disappointed with the speed I got in this plan. Its taking 5 minutes for to log on to Gmail. Half the sites give timeout errors. Please anybody thinking of using 'Airtel Mobile office ' 899 plan plz...do not even think about it...
TATA or Reliance's 1500 unlimited plan is much better than this.
