But many user who come to my site searching in google are airtel customers. I know this because they put airtel in the search. And when i look at the logs i see “airtel gprs problem” or “airtel gprs slow” etc as their search terms. I have been seeing this for quite a while now. Is airtel really slow, by the amount of user i get it seems so.
There is no way for airtel customers to speed up their gprs connection. At least in bsnl you can change the DNS servers and get a good connection.
The other possibility for this is more of airtel users are using gprs. Because i don’t know anyone in my area who uses gprs on their bsnl phone other than me. So that also could be the reason your connection is slow. Many user are using it so it makes airtel slow unlike bsnl.
Hopefully 3G will come to India soon and save us.

Hii…Mr.Parsanth, Plz Help me. Im Using Airtel Gprs on my Nokia 3230 Mobile..Running internet through this service “MO”. im using Internet only at Speed of 2kbps to 5kpbs, I want to speedup. how? Plz help.Im daily Surfing Internet n downloading stuffs….but lack of speed it takes long time to download a simple application…Reply from Prasanth These connection only give those speeds. They are meant to be used on mobiles to use withmobile sites.Since airtel doesn’t allow you to change the dns settings there is not much you can do.Try using operamini browser may be that will speed up your connection a little bit.thank youprasanthwww.prasanthtechblog.com
airtel do provide edge service and nokia 3230 is edge enabled so try make sure u r getting the ‘E’ sign instead of ‘G’ contact customer care if your local airtel tower is not providing edge and with edge u shud get 10 to 20 kbps speed with downloads.
i want free airtel gprs mobile office reply me as soon as possibleReply from PrasanthI don’t think there is a way to do that. Even if there is one do you really want to take that risk with all you address and name details associated with your sim and mobile. If they find out they can easily come to your home and collect the bill.I heard that you can pay 400 Rs for unlimited per month. If you want cheaper alternative try bsnl they offer unlimited gprs for 199 Rs per month + 250 minimum rental plan which makes it 450 Rs for unlimited gprs which is the cheapest you can get.If anyone else knows cheaper do let me know.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
hi Prashantcan u tell me that i am using Airtel GPRS – MO in my PC. but i can get the speed up to 115 kbps. how can i speed it up to fast sor better surfing ??Reply from PrasanthTry changing the dns in the connection settings that could increase the speed a little bit. To change the dns setting go to the connecting setting and get the dns number from http://www.opendns.comThe speed you are getting is quite good, It can go a bit higher when its not busy if not these speeds are as good as it will get.When downloading something use a downloader program like flashget etc.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
Thanks prashant for ur good response, u r waiting for!again thanks dear.
can Opera help to increase the Net speed in Pc via Mobile Office???Virues in PC or obile can reduce the O speed??what are the ood antiviruses for Nokia N72??thanks in advance!Reply from PrasanthOpera is a better browser than firefox and internet explorer. If you can get safariwith webkit that too is good. Which is what i am using now and its really fast comparedto ie, firefox and opera. Even opera is fine you can disable images etc easily with thisbrowser which can improve the speeds.Using other browsers than internet explorer can also protect you from virus because most viruses are targeted at that browser.You don’t have to worry about viruses on mobile yet. Unless you install software very often you don’t have to worry about it. Most of the virus on mobiles come from applications that are corruped. Not from internet because they internet speed on mobile is not that fast.Rather than using virus program use operamini browser which is free and available here http://www.operamini.com since all the pages come from opera proxies they will detect and warmabout any viruses.The usual companies who make anti virus program also make for mobile so check all the big names like mcafee, symantec, kaspersky, trendmicroHere are some links all of them are paid software and are very costly. So just stick to operaminiwww.mobile.f-secure.comwww.kaspersky.com/productupdates?chapter=207716169www.symantec.com/norton/products/ overview.jsp?pcid=pf&pvid=nss1usa.kaspersky.com/products_services/mobile-security.phpthank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
Thanks Dear PRAHANTThanks for ur urls. also,and another thing is that ,CAN MOBILE MODEL AFFECT THE MOBILE OFFICE SPEED???Reply from PrasanthMobile models definitely affect the speeds. The fastest i have seen is iphone. The slowest are the old phones which have slower gprs specifications. It could also be because of the processor inside the mobile which could improve the speed and also the memory etc. Iphone has all of this higher than any mobile so the gprs speed on the iphone is pretty impressive.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

Infact i use airtel usb modem with my laptop to get online. Its not the best out there but its cheaper so i use it.Similarly i have both the airtel and bsnl sim cards with me.Even in roaming bsnl sim beats airtel in speeds.If you give me the details i will try out and if airtel is faster i will remove the comments i put on my blog.

hi,what is reliance datacard. and what is datacard.I read that u have a airtel modem from where did u got it and what its price is..iam currently using airtel gprs on my 3230 itis very slow please help me.is there any monthly unlimited access plans for airtel gprs…THANKXReply from PrasanthDatacard is a pcmcia card for laptops that you can use to connect to internet wirelessly.You can also get this type of service by usb modem.You can get airtel usb modem for 3500 Rs from airtel contact any of their office in your area. Its just a modem with airtel sim card in it.The connection is a little bit faster than dial up but not by much. I have unlimited account which cost 1200 Rs per month to be used on the data card.I heard airtel offer unlimited gprs access on mobile for 500 Rs per month.You can get unlimited gprs on bsnl if you get a postpaid account for 200 Rs per month which I am using now.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
HiThs is ravena from delhi. Dude i hered about pulg to surf [tata indicom]can you plese give all the info about it.and also its price.Reply from PrasanthTata indicom has no unlimited optionyou will be paying around 3000 Rs for the usb modem and what ever monthly plan you choose.they have plans that start from 400 Rs per month. Don’t expect broadband speeds the best you get is about dial up speed. Its quite good to browse internet. Don’t expect to watch movie etc.It takes like 5 minutes for 1 mb.If you don’t mind paying a bit more then you can try.Relaince usb modem which will cost you 3000 Rs and 1700 Rs per month for unlimited connection.Airtel usb modem costs you 3000 Rs and 1200 Rs per month for unlimited connection.the modem price could be a few hundred here or there depending on the offers they have now.All of the companies provide similar speeds there is not much difference between them. It will depend on how much you want to pay per month. And who has better coverage in your area.The only advantage with this type of connection is if you travel a lot you can use this device to connect any where india where there is their mobile coverage. So unless you plan to travel a lot get the wired broadband connection from bsnl or some other local providers its much cheaper and faster.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
Hi prashant,i would like to sell my old pc andwilling to buy a new laptop.what price i should take.P4, 1.6ghz, 512mbram, 40gb hdd, 100kbps modem, 15′crt, combo, hclis there any company which exchages old pc fornew branded laptop.please help me..i would like to buy a laptop similar properties to my laptop but pendium dc2.and my buget is rs 6000 + what i get from my pc by selling it.please helpme on deciding and can u show me some laptop between the range of 15000 to 20,000.i can also buy second hand laptop of my configration .PLEASE HELP ME AND DO NOT GIVE ME WEBSITES TO FIND OUT I DAILY GOES TO THE INTERNET CAFE FOR 1/2 DAILY AT 9PM SO PLEASE HELP MEGIVE ME THE REQIRED INFORMATION.AND I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A MOBILE AND A SIM MY BUDGET IS RS 4000 TO 5000 I CANNOT INCREASE MY AMOUNT.THIS IS FOR GPRS CONNECTION ON MY LAPTOR WHICH IAM GOING TO BUY.PLEASE HELPME PRASHANT I REALLY NEED UR HELP.I LIVE IN MUMBAI……….Reply from PrasanthFirst of all don’t ever buy a second hand laptop. Once its out of warranty itwill get quite costly to repair really quickly.There are no laptops in the price range you mentioned. Most of the laptops costabove 25000 Rs. If you buy one at that price it will be a very slow one. Its better to go for a desktop at that price.There is a mini laptop called asus eeepc which cost around 18000 Rs read my review here if you are into that kind of thing. http://www.prasanthtechblog.com/?p=354i don’t know any company that will exchange you old computer for a laptop. even if you do you will only get like 20 or 30% of the cost of you computer.About mobile you can get mobile at that price but when you buy ask the seller if it can be used as modem if you are planning to use this device as modem for your computer to get internet.You can also buy a usb modem at 3500 Rs from tata indicom, airtel or reliance and use it to connect to internet wirelessly. If you also need a mobile phone then its better to go for mobile that can also work as a modem. With this type of service you will be paying around 400 – 1700 Rs per month depeneding on the type of the plan you want.Hope i have answered your questions write to me if you need any more information.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
Hi Prashant ,Can i know for how many bucks u bought ur iphone. What is its speed..and is it like other phones, can we install softwares likewise in nseries.and is it better than N73 for gprs speed.plase mention the speed of gprs of n73 andur i phoneReply from Prasanthi bought the iphone for 27000 Rs you can get iphone now for 23000 or so.But if you are planning to buy don’t buy it now wait until june 15th. New iphonewill be launched.About the speeds there is no camparition. Iphone is far ahead in gprs. Its notabout speed.

You can read any site quite well on iphone.Once you use gprs on iphone you will not like using gprs on any phone trust me.go here for a detailed comparison between iphone and n73thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
HiCan i know what is wifi i want a bluetooth to connect my pctomy mobile.It must be upto Rs50 to Rs200.thank youReply from PrasanthYou can get a bluetooth dongle for 200 Rs or so. Its fine if you just want to sync few songs or your address book or few files etc. But if you want to connect the phone to use it as a modem its recommended that you use the usb cable that comes with the mobile.Bluetooth doesn’t work that well. Its quite annoying to setup the connection and the computer doesn’t recognize the device well all the time.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com

Internet connection using AirTel GPRS is almost free, just you have to pay 250 per month in the form of talktime. There is unlimited internet access and unlimited download in this plan. So you don’t have to worry about your time limits while accessing the internet. The installation is very simple, just you have to follow 4-5 steps.I am giving the process of installation of internet using AirTel GPRS.Requirements :: A pc or laptop, a cell-phone with GPRS facility, a data cable to connect the cell-phone to labtop or pc if your cell-phone has bluetooth or infra-red facility then you don’t need datacable.First of all you have to call customer care (121) to activate your GPRS. It may take 2 or 3 days.After your connection is activated they send you some settings as per as your mobile phone, you have to enable those settings.Now install the driver of the data cable and connect your cell-phone to the pc or labtop.Just in the driver software you will get the internet settings options, enable those options and double click to start. you will have Connecting Device : Your mobile’s modem ISP Name : Airtel (or anything you like)Phone Number : *99***2# Username and Password : blankConnect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2 kbps (However it never happens).Now you can access internet connection in your pc or laptop for a minimal amount. However the biggest problem with this connection is its slow speed. But this generally happens with any wireless connection. Also, the connectivity depends upon the AirTel Signals in your area.
Hi,I use airtel gprs on my 3230.Can i use my sim in tata indicoms plug to surf and use my airtelconnection through.Because my friend is giving his tata modem to me he is going to village inTN for 1 month.

hello prashanth!this is karthik…what is the difference between wi-fi tech and plug to surf (tata indicom)……..pls reply me as soon as possible……….Reply from PrasanthWifi is wireless Internet but it works only within few feet. You also need a wifi enabled device. Most of the mordern laptops come with this facility. You also need a compatible device that works with the wifi. There are three types of wifi.About tata plug and surf it’s a USB modem that connects to a computer and you can use it to connect to Internet. It’s like a dial up connection without the wires.The speeds you get is as good as a dial up.But you can use it all over India where their mobile service works. Wifi is limited to a few feet within that region.With wifi if you have a broadband connected at the other end you can get the same speed with wifi. It’s quite fast .You can find free wifi at some places in cities.Hope that’s helpful.Thank youPrasanth
Dear all,I too am an Airtel customer using it for internet, and suffered the same problem as you guys are suffering from, i.e. slow internet connection. But after installing TweakMaster and configuring it properly (which ofcourse requires you to be patient) you will experience an obvious increase in speed, both while downloading as well as surfing. Use TweakMaster or at least give it a try.Reply from Prasanthi haven’t tried this software but reading the reviews its good for those who don’t know how to tweak their computers. Expert users might have already done all the things this software will change.thank youprasanthhttp://www.prasanthtechblog.com
