Airtel creates Internet coup ! As a special gift, all Airtel Broadband users will be automatically upgraded to 2Mbps speed to enjoy uninterrupted viewing of LIVE cricket on YouTube - IPL's Channel from 12th March to 25th April .
Now everyone will be able to experience the rich internet experience at an amazingly high speed of 2 Mbps, just like watching Live TV.
To add to the excitement of cricket everyone can now play “Fastest Fifty†on Orkut to share, compete and win.
PLEASE NOTE
1 The 2 Mbps speed is an automatic upgrade , only applicable for YouTube - IPL's Channel
2 For all others site customers will get their current plan speeds.
3 While there is no charge for 2Mbps upgrade , Streaming on youtube will be considered as part of data transfer limits of your current broadband tariff plan.

Airtel trying every trick to woo the customers....good for Airtel subscribers.

Today's TOI had front page ad about IPL screening on Youtube, but a fine print mentioned that the telecast will be deferred by few minutes due to technical reasons.
 
Nice offer, though I don't like this:

I really cant think of who the target audience for this offer is.

People staying in a permanent enough residence to have an airtel fixed connection/bb, but dont have a tv?

College folks studying away from home, but not living in hostels?
 
its for ppl who have airtel broadband connection, TV And females in the house watching Soap Opera's on Primetime clashing with IPL's timing.
