Disappointed with nonsense Airtel Billing

Posted: 01 Sep 2010 02:57 AM PDT

Hmmm... Airtel sux... Few years back, when I had an Airtel postpaid number, I usually recommend everyone to go for it... Later on seeing their greediness, I converted that to prepaid and it is lying useless..

Now I started even giving pressure to other Airtel users to switch to some others.. THIS IS THE BIGGEST LOSE TO AIRTEL, for their wrong practices.......

help with plan change confrmation?

Simply switch off the modem and ON it again. It will reset your session to the current values. Better wait till you see a change in usage details as zero.

Make follow up calls. Normally they change in the first week of every month. Call can do magic with BSNL.

National Broadband Plan

Posted: 01 Sep 2010 01:13 AM PDT

I already like the individuals' responses like "Dua Consulting" that warns operators claiming Rs 700-900 cost per subscriber per month for wireless broadband (3G) whereas he (dua/they) say its more like Rs 150-200 and the greedy corporates are trying to make windfall gains.

Also Reliance snippet says by 2014 demand will be like 1-2 mbps !!! hahaha... here I am just about satisfied with my 8 mbps connection and already hungering for more :)

Lets see what the further analysis and discussions (and results) come out of the NBP consultations all over the net...

I wonder if this thread can be made sticky... or any main thread for "NBP" topic...

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

Thanks for making sticky.

Consumer Protection Agency, Agartala has a weak response but at least they say define broadband as minimum 2 mbps while AIrtel/Reliance are saying make it 512kbps haha...

Now quickly looking at the international biggies:

Google: Very brief response. Starts off with their "open internet" message :) expected.

Intel seem to be playing safe saying "no comment" in many places - I guess they don't want to appear to be biased toward their own agenda. They do mention US broadband govt site to compare with.

Microsoft's is wordy and will read it at leisure over weekend :)

BSNL babus response not too bad - they are very positive/recommending use of optical/fibre for wired and latest wireless like WIMAX/LTE... though no suggestions on "how best" to go about it. For the definition, they say "512 Kbps by Dec, 2010, 2 Mbps by Dec. 2011 and 4 Mbps by Dec. 2014" not bad. But buggers say "No, the Broadband tariffs are already low." for question 22 about tarriffs! Good point about NIXI being free of charges. They say "anchor" universities like IIT/IIM should have 1 gbps by Dec 2011 and others to follow soon.


BTW anyone else reading through these responses - has anyone seen mention of "unbundling" or "community" fibre/copper lines to stimulate competition and bring down prices? Another point has anyone seen any mention about comparing to other countries like Japan/Sweden/South Korea for their ultra-fast and cheap broadband?

MTNL broadband speed suddenly went slow.

Don't follow-up your complaints then Sir Ji... You are actually paying for 320kbps only, but getting 440kbps now.. Even 440kbps is MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE PAID FOR..

You may have got 1.6Mbps speed earlier, though u have paid for 320kbps only.. But you have to accept that LUCK can never come with LIFE-TIME VALIDITY... :-)

Optional Packages are now to be subscribed for minimum period of 90 days.

I'm not disagreeing, and I'm completely with everyone on Airtels misleading/confusing advertising and FUPs. What's even more unfortunate is that they [Airtel] have enough bandwidth available to them to provide every single broadband customer in India (all ~8 million, not just the 1 million who are customers of Airtel) with at least 1mbit/s completely unlimited with no FUP - and they would still have more than enough capacity spare to sell to companies like mine!

I am, however, pointing out that at least the customer is not paying any extra, and they still get 256kbit/s as they previously did. I'm sure that the FUP BS being pulled by Airtel has affected numerous customers in a far more serious manner.
