Airtel Broadband 16 mbps plans with 20/50GB data transfer limits!
Airtel Broadband has launched 16mbps broadband plans in the Indian market.
The company claims that this new plan is the fastest Wireline Broadband on DSL in the Country.
They have two plans on offer:
Rs. 2999 with a 20GB data transfer limit
Rs. 4999 with a 50GB data transfer limit
This service is powered with company’s Carrier Ethernet Network.
It is currently available in limited regions in Delhi NCR, Chennai and Bangalore.
They are soon going to launch it in other areas like Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and Kolkata.
K Srinivas, Joint President, Telemedia Services, Bharti Airtel spoke at the launch of this new plan: “Airtel has constantly strived to innovate and deliver high quality products to its broadband customers. We are the leading private broadband service provider in the country and pioneered 8 Mbps broadband. It gives us great pleasure now to be able to introduce the fastest, wired broadband service on DSL. We will be able to offer 16 Mbps broadband to 70% of the households in the 3 cities of Delhi NCR, Chennai and Bangalore.”
We would just like to inform potential Airtel customers here that at 16mbps speeds, 20GB data transfer can be done in less than 3 hours. So, use wisely if you go for this connection.

yeap. terrible marketing campaign. with download limits, the service is practically worthless for any serious broadband user.
at 16 mbps, 50GB can be used up within 24 hours.
April 13th, 2009 at 02:57 pm
They are thief as like b4 , never plan to launch in low rates , indians luk fool to them , happy wid bsnl
April 13th, 2009 at 03:03 pm

April 13th, 2009 at 05:03 pm
50 gb can be used up in say…2 mbps * 60=120 mb per minute…
120 * 60=7 gb an hour and then in 3 hours 20 gb is used!!!LOL!!!Sucks big time
April 13th, 2009 at 05:59 pm

20Gb – 3hrs
50gb – 7hrs

@saurabh….you outta your mind……n00b
its ppl like you they’re trying to rickroll
April 14th, 2009 at 08:27 pm
hav the airtel gone mad
who is going to take this type of foolish plans..
inspite of doing this airtel should acompete wid BSNL of 2 mbps at low rates
April 14th, 2009 at 09:56 pm
this is why i will never change my bsnl plan. the speed may not be 16 mbps but i am happy enough with the unlimited plan. They are cheap and well worth it. downloads @256 kbps take longer time but atleast you get it done and moreover you can keep downloading 24×7. Airtel’s offer has ‘Danger!!!!’ sign written all over it. 20 GB and 50 GB limits @16 mbps is plainly ridiculous. And who knows how much they will charge over that limit. Furthermore that limit is of data transfer ie upload+download. You can surf for a few hours and use up a significant part of that limit.

what i do not understand is according to http://www.airtel.in/wps/wcm/connect/About%20Bharti%20Airtel/bharti+airtel/media+centre/fy2008-2009/pg_airtel_pioneers_16_mbps_broadband_in_india
it says they are getting fiber backbone and then last mile via copper wire..
why copper wire.. why not get the fiber cable to home?
ofcourse the initial cost will be more but its worth it over the years.
and then make a 100+mbps with unlimited data transfers, like in many other countries (Hong kong China, Japan, Korea, Sweden ..)

indian broadband service providers can take a lot of steps which would ensure reliable connectivity in the future.
but sadly, they are probably betting on wireless technologies which would require less spending on the infrastructure by them.

Whats de use of so high speed whn de useage is limited, dataone is better u get a night unlimited in de 2MBPS plns which is very cool!!!
April 20th, 2009 at 01:13 am
Ill take up the 16 mb connection if they’d put up a night unlimited like bsnl.. ill throttle the connection to 25 KB/s during day time and download like hell in the night… Just what im doing with bsnl..
Btw my monthly download with bsnl is 126.738 GB and billed day time is 2.45 gb… and that’s with a 500 home plan (2mb/ps)
April 20th, 2009 at 08:27 pm
I download 60 GB and upload 30 GB every month in BSNL night unlimited 500 Combo scheme along with a rental free landline with 175 pulses of OneIndia calls…
All at 500 Rupees…
The unpleasant truth – I was a Airtel Broadand customerer 8 months back… I feel I was with the unscrupulous idiots for a long time…
Airtel is falling down!!!

it says they are getting fiber backbone and then last mile via copper wire..
why copper wire.. why not get the fiber cable to home?
Hi Mahantech
Fiber cable to every home is not possible because joining just two fiber cables will cost thousands of rupees
April 24th, 2009 at 01:32 am
I use bsnl 750 unlimited… i use to download lots of movies… so i download about 1-1.5 GB per day which is equal to 60-90 GB per month… wen this is possible in unlimited y the heck should i hav to go for 5000 for 50GB per month plan of airtel 16 mbps… no mad will take this plan… if i hav gone for 600 combo plans of bsnl, then probably i wud be the top downloader in my surroundings. hats off to bsnl…
expecting for the days wen we get unlimited at 2Mbps speed..
another news i heard is, in USA they hav introduced speed upto 1Tbps… that is they measure it in terms of tera bytes per second… gosh where r they gng…
:)

It is going to take another 20 ( or atleast 22 ) years to reach India to High speed internet Era with reasonable tariffs. In UK an 8MB line costs 21GBP per month.
All these internet companies just bluff on the speed !!
April 27th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Bloody and utter rubbish.
This plan will sozzle out soon enough, as it should. Who are they joking?
I use up 300 gb per month on a semi unlimited plan which offers me 9 to 9 free time at a speed of 40 kbps.
They expect users to limit themselves to 20 gb / 50 gb with a 16 mbps line??!
Just utter rubbish, I can’t believe this, its more like cheating the unlucky customers who don’t have proper knowledge about data usage policies etc.
Add to the mix Airtel’s proposed Fair Usage Policy and we have the perfect recipe for customers to shift base to a better Broadband service :D

This airtel 16 mbps sucks….what the F***,are they trying to robbed us!!!!!crazy mannn…hope Reliance will get a better one soon…..again monthly rental Rs.5000\- damn,,,,,,i wont stick with this shit,ill better go for 56 kbps modem rather than 16mbps airtel shit.
May 4th, 2009 at 10:32 am
May be we should not India with US where Verizon recently launched 20 Mbps Up/Down based on Fiber for US$ 70. But this plan totally sucks. When will the Indian ISPs stop sucking us high and dry?
I’m happy with BSNL’s 500C with 2 mbps and night unlimited. Waiting for the day when they will launch 2 mbps unlimited for Rs. 2000. (If I can get 6 hrs. unlimited + 175 free calls + landline rental for Rs. 500, why not 24 hrs. unlimited for Rs. 2000 ??)
May 4th, 2009 at 02:56 pm
they should make this plan unlimited at this price or atleast start giving 1,2 or 4 Mbps unlimited below 1000 Rs, limited data transfer plans r just a waste and r of no use to most of internet users, True broadband is only when there is no broadband cap and everything is unlimited, India still ranks 115th at internet speed and is far behind the developed world,shame on india, they should start giving high speed internet and stop giving limited plans,make it unlimited
May 6th, 2009 at 05:41 am
Another shitty internet plan in India. God damn it.
May 7th, 2009 at 05:33 pm
Right now I have a 42 GB of data to download…with my current ISP plan i.e. 512kps night unlimited..it will take me atleast a month to download all that!
I am gonna buy this 5000 plan of airtel…download alll that I need within a day or two…and be done with it! instead of spending over a month worth of time just on downloading!!!
though airtel sucks…! damn loser company!
I will save enormous time, electricity, money and power. plus can use my computer for some real work! :-)
I love airtel…though it sucks with all that money involved in this SCAM…!
Lets pray bro…we soon see 16 mbps unlimted 24/7 for 1000 INR!!! :D

These people can fool the noobs but not the geeks. What we want are unlimited plans and not these crappy capped plans.

Look at UAE.
256 kbps / unlimited downlod / 24 x 7 : cost = 1862 rs.
512 kbps / unlimited downlod / 24 x 7 : cost = 2362 rs.
1 Mbps / unlimited downlod / 24 x 7 : cost = 3125 rs.
our indian companies cannot provide a package like this at india?

Airtel MOBILE OFFICE is best I am using airtel m.o MOBILE OFFICE 10rs for 24hrs unlimited download upload and surfing, and its provide 255rs/month. I use aproxe 20gb to 40gb With same unlimited free plan….
Airtel 16mbps plan no need at home and p.c. Its not gud for indian internet users coz they dnt need that 16mbps speed, what we do with it. We just happy in 256kbps and 2mbps its better then others and its rates are also so low cheap,
