Airtel Intros 50Mbps Broadband in India

India has been consistently lagging behind other countries when it comes to the availability of bandwidth and the overall Internet speed. While the situation is way better than what it use to be during our dial up days, even the best mainstream broadband connection

averaged around 2 to 4Mbps in the country. This, at a time when countries like South Korea and Japan boast of average download speeds ranging from 60 to 100Mbps, told a sorry state of affairs.
 
However, in a change of some sorts of late we have been hearing of ultra high-speed broadband speeds in the country with increasing frequency of late. Back in 2009, Tata had announced its 100Mbps service in the country. It was followed by MTNL who launched a 20Mbps VDSL (Very High Bitrate DSL) service. Now, it's Airtel's turn to Launch its VDSL service in select regions of the country. Currently available only Delhi and Gurgaon, Airtel's new VDSL service boasts of speeds of up to 50Mbps!
 

Airtel has informed that it would, in due course, bring the new service to the cities of Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore.

As expected, services of this kind would never be light on the pocket. This 50Mbps Broadband plan comes at Rs. 8,999 per month rental with 200 GB free data transfer. It also offers you other added services like a Website Builder (Basic), Secure (Anti-Virus software) and even an On line Storage option. For games, there is a Games on Demand (GoD) service as well.
