Getting on the Airtel 4G Highspeed Highway

I am surfing internet on my mobile device. I am surfing the web using my Airtel 4G connection. The good part about this fast speed connection is that every thing downloads a lot quicker then it used to be earlier. The 4G speeds are available to Airtel 3G connection users without any additional charges .So I as an Airtel user is browsing at 4G speeds at the price of a 3G connection. As I download at such a fast speed I cannot help but appreciate the fast downloading experience where even a full fledged movie downloads in a couple of minutes as compared to hours or days on slower connection speeds. My thoughts drift to the advent of Internet in our country.
When Internet happened in India people used to dial up to their ISP's using dial up modems and get connected to the internet at a speed of 33.6 kbps. Then came the dsl and cable connections and we got a boost in internet speeds yet we were wired to our desktops and with the birth of mobile internet we got freedom from wires but got choked by the slow speed of mobile internet connection.
Today's life is all about speed. Cars run faster,planes take you from one place to another quicker and we are used to everything fast. Look for instance at cricket that is our national passion which binds us together as a nation. Since we are so used to getting results fast we have started patronizing first the 50 over game better known as the one day matches over test cricket and then twenty twenty matches are getting even more popular.So it is natural that when it comes to internet speeds we want faster connections. With the Airtel 4G connection downloading large files gets completed much faster and without any disruption. As compared to earlier 2G and 3G browsing and downloading experiences 4G is a much faster experience for users. Airtel 4G is not just for those who want to download large files. Be it video conferencing , making video calls, wanting high resolution streaming of videos from video rental sites or watching the free HD video content from sites like Youtube or Vimeo every thing gets faster and smoother on the 4G highway.
Since Airtel is offering its 4G services in 296 cities it makes the lives of all the 3G subscribers that much smoother. For those who do not have a 4G Sim there is good news as Airtel is sending out free Airtel 4G sims to its subscribers. To get a free 4G Sim all that one needs to do is tweet #GetAirtel4G and a 4G Sim would be delivered to your doorstep free of charge.
The good part is Airtel being the first company to roll out 4G services gives a head start to all its mobile internet users in getting ahead of the other brand users. 4G speeds are a fresh and new experience for us in India. For those who are getting on to the 4G bandwagon the experience is akin to driving on a wide empty smooth highway after moving endlessly on a bumper to bumper traffic filled road. I love to use my 4G connection to watch movies, music videos, play multiplayer games online and upload and download files in a jiffy.
