but manish ji, they are giving me 20% discount on Rental, and told this is the slab for retention
can I get more discount than that if i call again to disconnect?

1st take 20% then wait for 1 month then again call back stating about the service issues they will again add some discount. i got total 30% in 3 go

Whoa!!!!
I was using 499 Plan (256 kbps, 3GB limit), when I called them first time they give me 20% discount (i.e. 399 for 256 kbps, 3 GB limit). then I called 121 2nd time as suggested by Manish ji,
The retention dept offer me 449 Plan+ 20% discount, Plan detail:
Rent- 360
512 kbps upto 500 MB and after that 256 kbps
downloading-unlimited

But the interesting fact is that I have downloaded over 1 GB and speed is still 512 kbps.

difference is that it is not a regular plan, you need to grasp it.
but is is not very tough to get this plan. I call them just after first bill and get 20% discount and after second bill I get this 360 rental plan....

[raccoon]

^^^But difference is that BSNL will never give you any special plan. They don't give 2 hoots whether you stay or leave their network. Retention plans/special plans are not in their dictionary... at least I have never heard and can't imagine.

I think Airtel has doubled its speed (promised to be done in june), because I am getting consistently 512 kbps even after 5 GB download, as my limit for 512 kbps was only 500 MB..

Hurray 512 kbps only for 360 rent

[razortooth]

I think after u use your limit of double speed, u still get the same speed i.e. 512kbps in your case till you restart your modem.
after that same old 256 kbps speed

I was using 649 Umlimited plan from Airtel(Delhi), today I called CC and told them that I am getting cheaper deal from MTNL so I would like to discontinue the service, and asked them to put a request for discontinuation.

FYI call charges in 649 plan was too expensive.

Withing 4 hrs, i got call from retention department and they offered me follwing two retention plans...
1) 449 Retention Plan
First < 500MB @ 512kbps...
Rest > 500MB @ 256kbps
Data Usage: Unlimited
Call rates as follows..
Airtel to Airtel (all over India) @ 60p/sec
Airtel to others (all over India) @ 75p/sec
Free Calls = 0
(Thanks to amit for correcting me, confirmed again with CC)

another retention plan they offered me is as follows...
2) 649 Retention Plan
Speed .. @ 512kbps
Data Usage: Unlimited
Call rates as follows..
Airtel to Airtel (all over India) @ 0.1p/sec
Airtel to others (all over India) @ 0.1p/sec
Free Calls = 100

I took the 2nd one . They said that they are going to activate my new plan within 3 working days.

Hope this would help other Delhi Airtel customers.
If you have any other ideas to get better rental plans and discounts from Airtel, please discuss and help Rimwebians.

NOTE: This plan is for Delhi only, for other circles please contact your regional Airtel CC.
