It’s surely going to make a difference in the internet world of India as till the date the speeds on offer range from 256 Kbps to 4 Mbps only. So now airtel broadband users would be able to browse multiple windows at the same time- downloading heavy files, view streaming video, enjoy online gaming, chat, email etc. And the most of all, Airtel’s Broadband Service is also going IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) ready.

Last year BSNL similarly introduced 2mbps broadband but the problem with it was that it didn’t lift bandwith caps and not providing unlimited access. So now we hope that Airtel would surely come up with an unlimited access plan for evolved user, So that we can enjoy 8mbps connection to its fullest.
