How many players are offering services in the same / similar segment? Only one. Thats airtel. Well then it is called monopoly... And buddy they aren't in "Beta" phase because they are actively calling up and advertising their services albeit not in the mass media, yet. > and to be a little rude to you now ... if you really cut down on so > called cool and unnecessary downloads and file share et all you maybe > happier than now. Personally, you dont know what the heck I do with my internet connection so you dont have any right to advise me regarding my activities. But since I am in a good mood, I'll tell ya something. Airtel is renowned for its service in Delhi / Gurgaon region. Service refers to their uptime and CC. The speeds are not as promised but they are ok. I( and most people ) am not looking for an ISP which will give them 10/100Mbps pipes but ones who can go for a week without any downtime and offer decent speeds at the same time. MTNL would be an ideal choice but their CC is stupid and they dont have any flat rate plans. > and what does it have to do with ADA , mittals etc its the team and > maybe it is execution that sucks. may be you are not their target > segment ... just coz you think they are not cool doesnt mean they are > loosers. well lets see...its not just me but several others who are currently pissed off with airtel. Why? Well because of false promises. One of my friends was told that his location was serviceable and that they were giving out connections at his location and they would send their execs to get him connected. Guess what? After about 2 months of pursuing the matter they tell him that his area was never serviceable. If that is not a perfect example of monopolistic attitude and sorry state of affairs within airtel's management then I dont know what is? -- Regards, Dinesh A.
