I noticed this speed bump from last night - I am getting 2 Mbps at night and 1 Mbps at day. The jokers in Airtel Customer care were useless, I have tried shooting off an email asking for more details. Fingers crossed. |

For the past 2 days, I've been observing that the speed has doubled. 1Mbps during the day and 2Mbps during night. |

Not sure where I had mentioned it earlier, but, Airtel has over the last few months, in a phased manner, upgraded all their customer to a higher speed. So all users below 512kbps will get moved to 512kbps (this is the minimum speed now) and those at 512kbps and above will get their speed doubled. So those with 512kbps will get 1Mbps & those with 1Mbps will now get 2Mbps and so on. This is part of their free upgrade plan and if you have not changed your plan to something covered by FUP, then you are good to download as you please! :) |

And already experienced FUP implementation at the last 2 days of my billing cycle when my downloads crossed 10 GB and speed went back to 256kbps. |

How are you measuring your traffic? I used to use a simple software called Bandwidth Monitor Pro, and since shifting to Linux I miss it. Have to rely on my online account details at Airtel. |

Thanks. Yes, I've heard of that --- but I have a D-Link, and I think it won't. I'd hate to take the risk of bricking it anyway: I bought it to give n wifi to the wifwifi (wife's laptop). |
