@gaurav jha
Its true Gaurav. Same happening with me, Sometimes the gprs becomes slow for close to 2days.
Webly December 3, 2009 at 4:19 pm
@Dataoneinfo
If it offers 3G Network speed. Than Guys i must say…. go for it.
gaurav jha December 3, 2009 at 2:25 pm
The speed of aircel is fine, but according to TRAI reports, its the most congested network and if gprs signal is unavailable then it continues for 3-4 days, the moral of story is that- “BSNL, BEST HAI MERE LIYE”
firstonnet December 3, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Please tell us speed when you open any 100KB page. for test please log on to http://www.mobilespeedtest.com

firstonnet December 3, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Aircel not having speed compare to BSNL, so it might be better option who like more speed compare to Aircel & who love to extend their mobile bettery life.
Webly December 3, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Aircel works fine for me.
Rahul Barik December 3, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Aircel 98 plan bekar hai. Many websites does nt work. And speed is pathetic. More over network is poor. Bsnl’s plan is good. Other operators offering unlimited plan is reliance smart @ 303/mnth.
