I have BSNL Broadband which providers 256KBPs at 750 Rs which $15 for unlimited access. It's quite cheap for me.
am on BSNL broadband - 256k $15 a month! though the down times are huge, mostly due to the cable faults in the telephone lines Am not sure if i have the tata-vsnl in Jharkhand, the last time i asked the tata indicom guys they told me that they don't have any unlimited plan operating in my region, and the other plans were not so good. Airtel ? Hows the speed!
I am using MTNL 256 Kbps UL plan. Paying Rs. 600 + tax per month. But I will suggest you to look for Airtel BB.. If they have service in your area. Airtel is best ISP of India, best support, best customer care.
Using ISP: Exatt technologies Plan: 12GB download limit per year. Speed: 512kbps DL, 128kbps UL Price: Silightly less than Rs. 3000/- per year(approx 60 USD/yr @ 1USD = Rs.50) or $5 per month.
Yes, if one compares the $/kbps rates, then India is much more expensive than countries in the western world. Where you from? (I have a 196 kbps connection which costs me around $15).
In India, BSNL broadband internet is cheaper in terms of price (you get an unlimited home plan with speeds up to 2 mbps (but that is never achieved!) for the equivalent of US$ 20) but the customer care is not that much good. BTW, I am with the BSNL and my monthly expenses comes to US$ 12...
unlimited connectiosn gtarte from $15 per month to $ 25 - speed varies from 128--to 256 - thiough soem are upgrading that to 512 unlimited . abt the reliabilty -Airtlel /Bsnl ar the best (underground wiring+ minimal downtime) ; Tata+ sify -- full of downtime(overhead wiring)--some rains or storm and they are down for 2-3 days minimum. poor backup and much more--(avoid them)
