kshah 452 Report post Posted September 10, 2005 I got BSNL broadband connection installed today. Its been about 3 hours and I feel speed is far superior than RIM. My observations: 1. Installation is damn easy. Modem is to be connected to LAN port, configure IP and Gateway address and go. No need to install any drivers. 2. Download speed I achieved in last 2 hours is 28-30 KB constanty ( I put 500 MB file for test) I bought 256 KbPS connection, means almost 90-100% thruput. It is under business plan (700 PM, 2 GB) double than RIM at same cost. So now I will give away my RIM connection used for data only. As of now I think I took r decision, as speed is really good.

BPP 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2005 Even Air tel borad band is 999 Rs per month with 256 Kbps. Unlimited usage. Reliance should reduce r connect price to say 500 Rs unlimited as the speed is patahetic in r connect compare to broadband. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anujit 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2005 The price is ok. The speed is good (if you consistenly hit 256 kbps). But a DOWNLOAD LIMIT is in no way what broadband is about. They must try to understand this concept. It's failed all the wise men of TRAI, BSNL, SIFY, Reliance and you name it. And it just goes to show that despite all great reports infrastructure in India still s**ks BIGTIME! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashokjp 15 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 BSNL speed is good, price is also not that bad. even d/l limits. are kinda compromised. Reliance Broadband is also cheap in matters of d/l limit. They give 10gb for all home plans. TATA Indicom (VSNL)- NO1 loots... They first introduced their broadband in which the lowest possible connection was of rs 6000, then when reliance published their prices, TATA slashed the same plan rate to 3000.

Shabz 8 Report post Posted September 12, 2005 These guys should start hourly plans like you pay Rs 300 per month and u get to use 3hrs daily with high speed and no download limit My cablewalah was giving this but with Rs 3000 non refundable deposit and he told if I did not like the speed then my 3000 will be lost Why dont big companies try this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted September 13, 2005 I woudln't get conned into paying 3,000 non-refundable advance, if I were you. I paid Hathway 6 months advance rental (to avoid installation charges) and the connection is the PITS!!! These people seem to be playing a con game! Also some ISPs are good in some areas and very bad in others ...so I'v heard. The only connection I'd suggest any one to take is one which he can extricate himself from in not more than a month...

raccoon 53 Report post Posted September 14, 2005 I got a call, few days ago, from BSNL asking me if I'd like to go in for DataOne. They told me that download limits are now relaxed from 8pm to 8am! I confirmed twice with BSNL helpdesk. And now they are saying its changed again - the download limits will be relaxed only between 2am to 8 am! ALL these ISPs seem to want to pull a fast one on the customers. What about those people who subscribed with the understanding that download limits are from 8pm to 8 am??? When will these download limits be history? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
