U speakin as if Airtel EVER gave its customers TRUE BROADBAND.
Its a freakin idiotic company with unclear goal cept for one.. Make the consumer pay and upgrade only wen the situation aint letting in enuf oxygen.
What has the global metldown got to do with it ..?
as if Airtel got the FUP in accordance with whatever plans and download limit other ISP have implemented.
It's about time that Airtel stop with this nonsense and other schemes for eg: offering few kbps more for a huge premium.
Only thing that might help is if the definition of broadband is revised by TRAI to something like 1 Mbps or at least 512 kBps at the minimum. If we leave it to these bloodsuckers, they will keep India in the dark ages forever.
I do not buy their argument anymore that they do not have the existing infrastructure to provide proper broadband. They've earned enough money to invest in upgradation.

i think with TRAI reducing mobile tariffs Airtel see internet as the best way to keep the balance sheets in profit...i think their managers haven't learned from their cellular success story more consumers more market share more profits...

I think...companies like MTNL and BSNL should start high speed broadband (like 8Mbps, 16 Mbps etc) with affordable rates and without any FUP so that these private operators are forced to reduce the price.
This is because most of the people have telephone lines at their home and these service providers (MTNL, BSNL) dont require any additional infrastructure at the customer's location.
Moreover we know that they can provide the speeds now also. I am saying this because i have seen MTNL speed jump to as high as 5 Mbps sometimes

BSNL has the whole telecom infrastructure setup in India which happened over the long years ( remember the old black telephone)-they can provide the cheapest tariff.
Private player has to create their own infrastructure or use the bsnl infra ; paying them rental > huge investment/additional cost>slow penetration>costly tariff
However private players can bring following things to the table :
>better customer care
>plethora of plans to address various customers - not all the internet users are p2p savvy
But No one can beat BSNL in unlimited download plan for a long long time - until n unless some different mod of carrier can be used which in allready in the place - like electricity lines, DTH,cable tv etc. or government/tri giving subsidies to isp to setup such infrastructure

The recession has everything to do with the FUPs. Basically in a nutshell, Airtel doesn't seem to have money to expand it's infrastructure. So in order to accommodate new subscribers (which is how they will get more money), they are restricting (aka shafting/fleecing/taking advantage of etc.) existing customers. That's the connect between the recession and FUPs. But this explanation in no way justifies this ridiculous policy.
