I'm out searching for a good broadband provider. So was one of my friends, he finally decided upon AirTel. It's been some days since he applied, but they are tardy, dare I say as usual. One would think they didn't want his business. From the reviews I have read, I've come to believe that MTNL and BSNL, the state players, might be the better options after all. Does it mean that private players entering the market is good? It does seem to have had a bettering effect on the government players who have to compete with the new folks.
My own hunting around indicates that the tariff plans that all these companies have are expensive. So far my company used to reimburse me for the broadband access, so I didn't worry about it so much. But now, having to pay almost a thousand bucks per month... I wouldn't mind it so much if the speed and quality of service was good and if there were no caps on the data transfer. I would pay, I think, a thousand bucks for 512kbps (not UP TO 512kbps, which is a term that all these companies are fond of using), uncapped, or capped to a high number like 75GB.

I agree that MTNL/ BSNL have way cheaper rates/plans than the private players, but I think its a cost that you pay for the sevices being offered. If Airtel takes 2 weeks to install the service, BSNL takes more than a month; further these govt agencies are really unapproachable...
I guess by paying more to private players is buying a bit of peace of mind!
Hmm.what about Dishnet..they ain't there in noeda ..oh..my mistake..noida ?
