I am currently using their Explorer 1099 Plan having 384Kbps day speed and 1Mbps night speed, I would definitely upgrade to 1Mbps Plan for Rs 1699 so as to get 2Mbps after the Airtel Expansion or it might be possible to get Swift 1099 having 512Kbps whole day for Rs 1099 and then getting it upgraded to 1Mbps for the same price. It is what time will tell which plan to get onto. What are your views about this current scenario of Airtel . I would like to hear your comments as well.
