It’s been a uphill struggle to get the connection- they have delayed italmost 10 days even after the payment of the required dues. Very soon I might just venture to put out a survival guide- the ways not to suffer at it’s shoddy customer support.
I gather that Airtel is providing an excellent service in the fixed line telephony including broadband- while they may not be able to replicate the reach of BSNL(spreading their tentacles of misery so to say)- they are surely arriving at the scene- realising the gravity of the situation that mobile telephony business cannot provide them the same obscene profits that they were making a few years ago. Data services remain the bread and butter of the operators- I remain firmly of that opinion.
Meanwhile, Huawei has been in the thick with IB and RAW clamouring for details on the deals- those guys have surely been involved in espionage in Bangalore office in 2001. The details were in Times of India recently. How and why they are allowed in this country? I shall try and elaborate on the Chinese in the coming few days. Oh well, on a parting note, certain people were gloating about the new age sunrise of Chinese- the next wave of chinese goods swamping the technological market in telecom equipment- believe me, they have a lot to prove that their intentions are not at world domination by hook or crook.
That is for the reason why there is no irrational exuberance about the multinationals. This blog would try and “expose” the scum of this earth.
Airtel’s customer care tells me their broadband service (at any rate,
one of their plans) has speeds of upto 256 Kbps. I’m fairly sure that
contravenes the TRAI regulation. What do you suggest to do about it?

Yeah, that’s against the regulations, clearly, but so are other ISP’s. Nothing happened depite DOT’s warning months back.
The ISP’s use all sorts of clauses, so in all tehnical knowledge of india’s terrible IT laws, tehy’re in the clean, no matter how much we hate it !!!
