Don't even think about getting an Airtel HSDPA connection, my download speed has been at 5kbps for the last 2 weeks. According to Airtel to many users have brought down their speed.
I Have Rapidshare, Hotfile, Sharingmatrix(Filesonic) Stoorage.com and Fileserve Premium accounts. Downloads from all hosts are at 10kbps since last week, I'm sure it doesn't take a genius at Airtel customer service to tell me where the problem is.
To All Airtel HSDPA Customer's
Has your internet speed dropped drastically since the morning of the 29 june 2010?
Is Airtel cheating customers by reducing the speed without prior notice? (This has nothing to do with the FUP implemented recently)
Can Airtel force a customer to accept the FUP...
If the speed gradually went down over a couple of hours I would accept that many users are sharing the available bandwidth. Also over time it should it increase and decrease as users log on an off. In my case it went down at once and has stayed down for over 48 hours now.
