Airtel is offering a demo of their upcoming 3G service in many showrooms across India and we headed to a showroom in Chennai to do a Speed Test as many of you have been asking us about the speeds offered by Airtel 3G
We saw the Airtel 3G dongle with the all new logo and it’s most likely to be a Huawei dongle as the dialer software seems familiar. The dongle was connected to a really slow Lenovo netbook and still me managed to stream video and conduct speed tests
The Speed Test
The download speeds were constant at around 2.3-2.4 Mbps and upload speeds were hovering at 400-500Kbps
Watch the video of speed test below

Airtel is expected to roll out the 3G services in December and tarrifs will be released in 1st week according to the folks at the showroom.
