AirTel Menace!

Hey guys, I am Home128 plan of Airtel. It used to connect at 160kbps(it still does for some ppl), but mine stopped connecting at 160kbps 2-3 days ago, now it connects at 128kbps as its supposed to. I used to get 14-15KBps dload speeds, previously(when on 160kbps), after the shift to 128kbps my dload speeds dropped to 12-13KBps. But since evening, My dload speeds have dropped to 5-6KBps. As expected I called up the customer care b******s and yelled at them, they give me some IP which apparently has a bandwidth testing program, and the results were overwhelming :expressionless: , well I have attached the results, I ran it twice to make sure. ANy1 else on AirTel have had same problems?? I feel ripped off :frowning:

the ghey airtel bandwidth tester :@

:frowning:

Your current bandwidth reading is:

125.80kbps
Retest
which means you can download at 15.72 KB/sec. from our Network to your last mile provision.

Why is it that I am gettin over 256Mbps reading repeatedly, yet my dload speeds are lower than 6KBps :S

Guys use this url insted.
Its reliable.
Make sure you clear your cache before running this test.

Your line speed:

94 Kbps

12 Kbytes/sec < P>

this is with the link given by funky…

and with www.bandwidthplace.com I got 40.4kbps wtf is wrong? :expressionless:

if there is any other activity (downloading/uploading) that affects those tests..

of course, I even quit MSN/Yahoo while testing!

hmm I think the only logical explanation is that airtel discriminates between websites :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:. Seriously though, do you think it’s possible? :wink:

:frowning: I only get 8-10 KBps nothing more.
I did their so called speed test shows about 90 kbps
I called them up today, was told me that the minimum speed that we can expect is around 30kpbs I am like wtf??? :mad:

bandwidthplace.com
I get only 35 :mad:

which tariff plan you on?

same as you!
