    Thumbs up Watch IPL online with Airtel’s FREE 2Mbps Broadband Speed


    Airtel creates Internet coup ! As a special gift, all Airtel Broadband users will be automatically upgraded to 2Mbps speed to enjoy uninterrupted viewing of LIVE cricket on YouTube - Indian Premier League's Channel from 12th March to 25th April .

    Now everyone will be able to experience the rich internet experience at an amazingly high speed of 2 Mbps, just like watching Live TV.

    To add to the excitement of cricket everyone can now play “Fastest Fifty” on Orkut to share, compete and win.

    PLEASE NOTE

    1. The 2 Mbps speed is an automatic upgrade , only applicable for YouTube - Indian Premier League's Channel
    2. For all others site customers will get their current plan speeds.
    3. While there is no charge for 2Mbps upgrade , Streaming on youtube will be considered as part of data transfer limits of your current broadband tariff plan.
    4. The 2 Mbps bandwidth is not guaranteed all the time and is dependent of traffic. Our endeavor is to provide 2 Mbps on best effort basis.
    5. Upgraded speed of 2Mbps applicable only for content streaming on youtube.com/Indian Premier League page and not for other YouTube content.

    this is actually great for all those customers who are on 256kbps to 1mbps unlimited plans. including me.

    would have been better if the bandwidth consumption was not included. what is the use of sponsoring something if the end user is going to pay up shit load of money to view it!

    This is to get more people to watch it.. forget about their limits and then be charged high bills. Good movie though...

    Just realised that this differential speed for a single site can be provided only if the content is locally hosted. I bet Airtel has got into some content hosting agreement with YouTube for Indian Premier League. So the content - atleast the live content - gets stored in Airtel's own servers and are fetched at higher bandwidths - similar to how the Games On Demand works today.

    I don't think I am getting any faster speed, videos at 480p still buffers so I am pretty sure my speed is still 1 mbps
