Airtel 3G service
Hi
After two days of 3G service activation, today i am able to access airtel's 3G service.
The network is highly correlates with radio waves (lots of up and downs). But i think it might be initial problem.
I tested the net speed and provided below.

AirTel 3G coverage Noida, Sec-110,82, 93
AirTel 3G signal reception is not stable in my area. (NOIDA Sec-110,82,93)
It is so weak that the moment you make a call on 3G, phone switches itself to 2G network, let alone the 3G data comm. Always gets on to Edge for packet data in spite of subscribing to an overpriced 3G plan. This does not happen if I go to my friends place who is in East Delhi. (May be because there is a cell tower just 2 blocks away where he lives).
AirTel CC Supervisor said it is because I live in NCR and the service is recently launched.
Failing CC help, I selected UTMS option only in network settings to avoid auto switch over 2G. Tested the speed and I did not find much a difference. Youtube videos took about nearly same time to download. (May be bcoz of poor network).
VOIP services like Skype worked just as before. Video calling worked fine.
The pathetic signal coverage started showing results. Frequent call drops and intermittent hang-up of data streaming.
Already upset & deranged over 3G hype and poor quality. I tried it for 2 days ignoring all odds. But 3rd day came to know had missed many calls from people who tried to call me in these 2 days. This is because after selecting UTMS only the phone lost signal intermittently many times.
That does it. Sent sms to 121 for deactivation of 3G. I am back to 2G Unlimited Internet pack.
