Bharti Airtel is on its preternatural move on upgrading broadband speeds of its existing customers (on 64, 128, 256 Kbps) to a minimum of 512 Kbps by the end of June, 2010. Furthermore, customers currently on 512 Kbps plans and 1Mbps plans will have their speeds doubled to 1Mbps and 2Mbps respectively. These upgrades come at no extra cost to existing customers.

My 256 Kbps plan hasn’t got its kick yet, but one of my friend’s (256Kbps) plan has already got it. He received a mail from Airtel stating about the upgrades and is now experiencing an average download speed of 60 Kbps. (Previously it was 30 Kbps)

Additionally, Airtel also announced the ‘Impatience Plans’, by offering 4 Mbps speed plans starting at a path breaking Rs. 899/month. The Impatience Plans will be available in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore.

K Srinivas, Joint President-Telemedia Services, Bharti Airtel said,

We are delighted to provide superior internet browsing experience to our customers through these high speed plans. Massifying broadband experience in India has been the pivotal to Airtel’s strategy for Broadband. These initiatives bring in a new paradigm for broadband in India.

‘Impatience Plan’ Details:

Good Friday, also called as Black Friday or Holy Friday, is observed by Christians all over the world signifying the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a historical event for the Christian Churches as they observe this day as a remembrance of Christ’s death with subdued service, solemn hymns, a message focused on the Christ’s death for our sins, thanksgiving prayers and observance of the last supper.

Why do we call it a ‘Good’ Friday?

The exact origins of the name are unknown. Some say that the name “Good Friday” comes from “God Friday”. And some say, “Good” is an Old English synonym for “holy” and hence is applied as an adjective to the day. But Christians believe it is “Good”, because it is Christ’s victory over sin, death, and the devil.
