I have been using Airtel broadband connection for a number of years now. As long as it works, it works well. Connection speeds are decent and you get a good experience. But once something breaks, you are out of luck as you have to deal with a bunch of unprofessional support staff. They are incompetent, they avoid taking responsibility, and they just close your complaints without fixing the issueGeohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09338285660007923431noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10046940.post-46187463936608267642009-07-06T06:51:00.000-07:002009-07-06T07:04:11.968-07:00Gladiators at Center CourtWho thought someone could match Federer in sheer class?
