With the broadband wave sweeping across India...My town had its turn and and i got a connection for my home...For i had suffered enough with the antiquated 52kbps dial up connection...
I applied for it on a Monday and got it on Wednesday...well...such swift service...i have heard about people in cities waiting for months together to get this one...so staying in suburban area does help sometimes :)
My plan was 500c+ (2Mbps)...i had to shell out 600 per month for this one...it included 2.5 GB normal download limit and unlimited download from 2 to 8 AM...
An outdoor BSNL engineer had setup the connection and he gave me a link where i could check the download limit and all...though the site sucked...i managed get a glimpse of usage once in a while..things were looking good and i did something that i shud have done long before buying the connection...
I checked out a few reviews...most of them had a pejorative verdict...Few people even claimed that their bill ran into thousands per month...They even went on to mention that they were charged for the free time as well...absolutely ridiculous!!
I stretched the offer to its limit and raked up 2504 MB (out 0f 2.5 GB) to be precise...and when i got the bill...it was a pleasant surprise...the exact thing was mentioned in the bill and i didnt pay a penny more...
BSNL has its plus points...its the cheapest broadband in India till date (as far as i know)...Speeds are awesome...consistent download speed of 150-200kbps...wat more can we ask for? The only demerit can be the customer service...
So one needs to carefully check out the terms and conditions before buying the product...maybe sounds cliched but as they say patience pays and hurry makes worry!!

Yup maga BSNL rox ..enjoy downloading ..even i have heard it as the fastest broad band in India ...
Its the fastest in india.. But bloody i waited 15 days and did some 50 calls for the connection.. Here in my place they act irresponsible. The best part is they are proud that they provided all connections on some arbit date.. (i.e no pending connections).. probably cos no one ordered...I paid 4k last year taking up the stupid 1 GB connection.. Now that I have taken unlimited it is okie.. BSNL is all the same for me!!
Nice post though!!
1 GB limit doesn't really suit us mate...we have that insatiable internet thirst :D
Believe it or not...! BSNL "Broadband", as they call it gave me a woeful under 10 kbps speed the other morning at 3 am, when I had woke up to switch on a fresh download.
It has got its fair share of disadvantages, doesn't it?
I wonder if Rs 750 plans is any better......
yeah ritesh...u r right man...but i was the lucky one i suppose [:P]
