Tragedy strikes

Bad news bad news :(

While MTNL has already been having problems with its connectivity, citing “server” issues, I received an SMS from Airtel and as if the earth slipped from under my feet.

Dear Customer, currently you are charged a daily rental of Rs. 7 for GPRS. Effective 27th Aug, 07, charges for GPRS are revised to Rs. 14.99 / day. Airtel GPRS is still the most economical option for internet access compared to DialUp, Cable etc.

    this price hike has again brought me to a critical condition,
    now i m thinking aging to get back the costly cablenet connection, cause even though it was costly but it provide a better speed,
    & 14.99Rs for 40kbps connection is totally a sucking offer from airtel,
    i just hope that they soon bring down the prices,
    or the consumers will let down this GPRS service,

    a thumbs down to this price hike,

    it’s the time to boycott services . . .

    I got a message stating that my free 100 SMS terminates Aug 22 and now on, every SMS costs 5p for any amount per day. And daily charges apply (Re. 1 a day).

    Goddamn :(
