256 kbps broadband access!

My Airtel broadband speed has been upgraded from 128 kbps to 256 kbps by Airtel.

I noticed today that my downloads were way too fast!. Could see transfers up to 300 kbps!. First i thought it was some error, but later, I searched the Airtel website and and confirmed it from Vinu Thomas broadband forums.

So, the new deal is as follows :

• 256kbps access
• Unlimited data transfer
• Rs. 999 monthly + service tax
• Includes telephone rental + modem rental
• No free calls on the land line (no issues for me!)

You can find the details here (select home combo). Confirmed the same from customer care too.

Too good to be true. I guess this was possible only because of BSNL’s Dataone broadband service. A direct answer to BSNL. Good for us.
