The Airtel gut assured me that they would maintain 10 MBps as minimum speed in the course of time.

I need one clarification from experts in this forum on a moment which made me awestruck.
We can easily get rated speed inside our country when we point speedtest.net to Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai servers.
But the speedtest meter hit back to 40 MBps instantly even if i point to a server which is located in USA.
How can that be possible, please explain me guys.
As i haven't seen more than 4MBps against a USA server in our country.
40Mbps to US Servers from India is quiet unbelievable, I'll check the 4g speeds again later today & update. BTW what was the latency to US Servers

AFAIK most Indian Operators 3g networks were built on 21 Mbps theoretical limit equipment(also because of the 5Mhz lean spectrum allocated to each operator). Most users reported max speeds of about 5-7 Mbps on 3g but 'Airtel's 4G networks theoretical limit is 100 Mbps(although they claim only upto 40 Mbps)' - so speeds of about 30-40 Mbps will be quiet common on a fixed(non moving) device & this shall remain for the most part if such FUP is maintained by Airtel or another operator

in any case, speeds really does not matter much. except for a handful of services, you are not going to gain much from having a 40mbps plan. the whole problem is with the pricing of bandwidth. paying 100 bucks for 1GB of data at 40mbps? what is the point?
Yes rightly said, 40Mbps at such FUP is indeed not of much use. I can use up all my limit within 10 mins & would then have to stick to 128 Kbps for the rest of the month, Smartbytes is very expensive too. I mainly use this for browsing or times when i need to download something quickly & shall maintain a second wired connection with a much higher FUP for normal usage

Edit: I see some cashback offer. So I guess 1399 plan does come to around 950 with cashback for 6 months.

Also post FUP, its 128 kbps.

Interestingly they say covered in Kolkatta & Bangalore & have highlighted/colored the complete state in the adjoining map.
Coverage maps on Airtel website has issues. It shows coverage for the entire world... lol



But even when it was working fine the coverage was not accurate at least in Bangalore, my locality showed up as 'No Coverage' but i got full signal when the Airtel guy came for the Demo.

BTW i have a list of all the 4g enabled Airtel towers in Bangalore if someone wants to check coverage etc but can't post it on a public forum, PM me for more info

Whatsapp not working...Plz help !

Indian Cricket Season 2012

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 12:09 PM PDT

Test is supposed to be more tougher. And there have been so many who have scored a lot of runs in first class or List A, but have fell a little short in international cricket - Wasim Jaffer, Aakash Chopra, Murali Vijay, Mukund, Vijay Bharadwaj ..

Carnation experiences

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 12:07 PM PDT

Has anyone tried Carnation? I hear good things from folks, but then I haven't really had a bad experience with Hyundai service quality either - apart from their irritating arm twisting tactics to get more out of each service.

Thing is I have got some vouchers for waxing and polishing and wanted to check if these guys are any good before giving my car to them.
