Great, rates are also very affordable!
3K for 20 GB @ 16m is very cheap I think. BTW, about 2 months ago when I ask my local cable operator for cost of bandwidth for hosting server, he quoted mt Rs. 22K pm for 2 mbps unlimited data transfer :X focourse, I did not buy that
I have checked the airtel broadband site for the plan of 16 mbps, they say that the speed of 16 mbps is till the isp node. that means from customer end to isp end(airtel) from then on the speed will not be 16 mpbs…..dont know exactly how much speed can we get.
We have launched ‘The Impatient Ones’ campaign in relation to introducing 16Mbps speed. It talks about the virtue of impatience via three young achievers from different fields. There’s also a competition to choose the fourth impatient one. More details are on the Airtel Impatient Ones micro-sites-

But the bandwidth caps are not good. I wonder when we get Verizon FiOS like services in India. Sorry Airtel !!
