Wow!! But still U should download from sites such as Rapidshare or Megaupload who will restrict their download speed to 150-200 Kbps…so its practically good for browsing but for downloading it will remain the same i suppose

‘Speed Combo 4999: Comes with monthly rental of Rs 4999 with 16Mbps monthly Data Transfer.’ – what does it mean ? Unlimited plan ??
anyway with this speed people shud take Ul plans ‘coz with my 2Mbps BSNL BB connection total data transfer is alwaz more than 100 GB !! but to be a REAL COMPETITOR of BSNL , airtel shud increase its service area and provide affordable tariff !
