It's one of those days that I wish that the Customer Care 'Executives' actually had some tech knowledge.
Anyway, I'm going to have to use an Airtel GPRS connection for the next month or so, and I'll be connecting my phone to the laptop to use it. So yay for Airtel.
Now I have some confusion regarding the plans for these things. I've heard of two plans here that interest me.
1. Rs.12/day - Unlimited
It looks good, 12 bucks a day unlimited. But when I asked them whether all browsing and downloading is free, he said that I'll be charged for downloading at 30p/50kB. Now when I connect to the laptop and browse the internet, what is considered downloading and what is considered browsing? If open a YouTube video, I'm essentially downloading the content of the video to my laptop, if I open an image on a page, I'm downloading the image as well. So how do they differentiate between downloading and browsing when I'm using the internet through my laptop?
2. Rs.98/month - 2GB
For browsing, this seems fine and very economical. And given the speed that people get on GPRS, downloading isn't much of an option as well.
So could someone clarify Point 1 for me, and let me know if there are any other plans around?
Appreciated.
