Today I call the AirTel customer support. To be honest AirTel have a great customer support for non AirTel customers. Asked for package details and good news they now give 7.2 Mbps for their limited packages. ( 3GB and 1GB ). I hope it will not be like Dilog's speed mafia. And another update, The Bandrich Bandluxe C270 (Unlocked) is the modem now available at AirTel for Rs. 13'350. E220? GONE !. Still you can go for a different device if you like, But since the both Mobitel & Dialog locking their modem I don't think so. But still you can unlock the modem, question is who will give you the 1 Year Warranty?,

    TRUST ME I HATE AIRTEL COZ FOR ALMOST 4MONTHS I HAS TO PAY FOR SPEEDS OF DIAL-UP..
    THERE LATEST GAME IS TO SLOW THE USERS..WELL THE CONNECTION SPEED SHOWS 7.2MBPS BUT THATS THE SPEED BETWEEN THE TOWER AND YOUR MODEM..TO SEE THE ACTUAL SPEEDS CHECK FROM MDMA..
    DO U KNOW HOW THEY GIVE SUDDEN BANDWIDTH? THEY HAVE A UNDER PLAN THATS BY SLOWING THE HEAVY USERS..
    NOW THEY HAVE ENOUGH BANDWIDTH COZ OF IT...

    7.2 Mbps means There Tower Speed. It shared Each and every users use that tower. The Funny thing is that tower connected to base station via 2Mpbs link....)))
