Airtel will launch an 8 Mbps broadband service first in Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Delhi and the NCR with plans to introduce it to Mumbai and Hyderabad users in the next few weeks, reports Economic Times.
With current speeds ranging from 256 KBps to 4Mbps, Airtel will become the first service provider in the country to offer such high speed broadband service. The financial daily quotes P V V Srinivas Rao, Airtel’s Chief Marketing Officer, as saying that users will be able to download a 5 Mb music file in five seconds, compared to 160 seconds on a 256 kbps connection.
The price point could be around Rs 2,000 for a download of 7-8 Gbs. Tariff plans and product offerings are also being worked out to enable customers, who do not want a 24-hour eight mpbs speed but want them for certain applications or a short duration of time, to avail the new offering.
