[QUOTE="sydras, post: 2128171, member: 4933"] Folks, I reside in Bangalore and recently, I've been getting calls on an almost daily basis now from some folks at Airtel informing me that Airtel has "upgraded" their link to my building premises to a "fibre" link. They've asked me to schedule a visit with a customer service representative from Airtel who will replace my ADLS2 modem with a VDSL modem for a fee of Rs 500/-. After experiencing how beautifully these marketing folks at Failtel try to fool me into switching to a plan with greater high-speed bandwidth while trying to extract more money from me (is 1,000 rupees not enough for a basic necessity like broadband internet access in 2017?) with their sweet talk, I've been declining their "wonderful" offers. But, in this context, I'm wondering if this is something that they are doing across Bangalore/India i.e. the switch from ADSL(2?) to VDSL. Have you also been getting similar calls from folks at Airtel? If so, have you made the switch and how is your experience after the switch? [/QUOTE]
