The best broadband offers available across India

[nishant_nms]

I am going to apply for a BB but I am not sure which provider should i take services of. I have got two options one BSNL DataOne and another Sify. I like BSNL's Plan 500 and sify's Night Unlimited shared(256 Kbps). Which should i stick to. Help me soon I will apply within a day or two

[nishant_nms]

BSNL Plan 500 costs 500(without service tax and 256 kbps speed) and sify night ulimited costs 545(with service tax and 256 kbps speed). Thus both of them cost the same the deciding factor will be speed given and service

[vijay_7287]

i think out of the choices u have presented

BSNL will be an easy runaway

u get daytime access

of course nighttime is also free download time 2-8 am

and of course u can own a modem

in sify's case u need to give a waste deposit of 1500 bucks !!!!


but one thing against BSNL is customer service is poor (atleast in my area)

but out & out BSNL will be a better choice

and for all dataone related queries come here

Which of the two offers better speed

[mad_psychic_bastard]

well sify installation charges are down to 500!!!!
dunno if they have brought down the installation fees evrywhere, nd btw they don take ny deposit as such

:d

DOnt apply airtel
browsing and downloading is very slow

I have taken 128kbps UL Rs 699/- and this is what i get

Welcome to BBR! Run more tests! see forums
2005-11-29 13:25:56 EST: 19 / 35
Your download speed : 19 kbps or 2.4 KB/sec.
Your upload speed is much faster than down.. have you tweaked?
Your upload speed : 35 kbps or 4.4 KB/sec.

2)www.speed.touchtelindia.net
Your current bandwidth reading is:
116.00kbps
Retest
which means you can download at 14.5 KB/sec. from our Network to your last mile provision.
}

The airtel site shows more speed but as per my experience speed is very bad .Only their site shows that speed and all others show very very bad speed.And also the page loading in very slow.
when i download a file with IDM i get 10KB/s (not anywhere nearer to rated 16KB/s)

Best option is SIfy

In sify i used to get 200KB/s speeds for ateast for 2-3 days in a month(sometimes for full month). and also their rated speeds for 256kbps connection used to be exactly 32KB/s .But unfortunately due to some problems i had to disconnect from its service.

My friend has BSNL

for a 256kbps plan he gets 20-24KB/s using IDM which is just ok .But we expect atleast 30KB/s as we are paying for 256kbps and not for 160kbps.

I will rate the ISP in the following order in terms of speed and service
1)Sify
2)BSNL
3)Airtel

[con_tester]

Does anyone know how to view your account usage or Download / upload limit in BSNL dataone home 250 plan.

ISP: MTNL Mumbai
City: Mumbai, Maharashtra
Specific Areas: All over mumbai, for any1 and everyone, have a mtnl phone line even better
Plan: Night Unlimited
Speed Offered: 256 kbps
Usage Limitation: 1gb per month, night unlimited.
Validity:Monthly
Price:590 pm
Comments: Very very good service, have been using it for the past 4 months and only a single days down time, compared to the some 4 other isp's i went thru in last two years, the speed is perfect adsl. had tataindcom with 1gb and 64-512 variable speed adjustability, and the bills used to shoot up like anything, then i had exattnet, 256k and totally unlimited yeah was like a gods gift with the lan included. but the gift was for 2months only and the last 4 weeks there was no connectivity of lan or net and cable guy could not give good service neither the re-fund, hence MTNL which is awesome.
month of november - total download of night only = 23 gb. yes perfect download speed and great uptime.

[pradeep_chauhan]

net4india is good in delhi. I have shifted over from MTNL Trib 1199 to this its good.

[gxsaurav]

although i had Airtel broadband from about 2 weeks already, but my previous modem was faulty, so i changed it now i got a new modem, which is just like the same with same drivers,

i got 128 kbps unlimited internet connection, & there are hardly any downtime, at all, i download 140 MB in only 3 hrs, with flashget

so far, it's good, but airtel was really slow in my case, they took 1 & a half month to install it at my home, & i even send them a notice for this, but now it's good, although in my area at a few other places, they installed it preety fast, don't know why there were so slow for me

i would recomend anyone to get this, their plans are really great & quite cheap, i m paying Rs 700+100, including the modem rental

[techiways]

Does anyone use Sify Broadband? I'm planning to apply for Sify BB's 1gb plan which costs 550 / month . . Is it good? My main concern is the speed and uptime.

All ISP's in India suck
dont worry Sify is one of the best ISP in india and if u have luck at times u will get speeds of 300KB/s for some days

[nishant_nms]

Sify has drastically reduced the tarrif rates and had introduced new features in existing plans like day uses in night unlimited on weekdays

I had posted about Exatt a long time ago in this thread, I thought I'd update it. Especially since I hit a new milestone of 100GB+ data transfer in a month. Now thats what I call unlimited broadband :p

Comments: Pretty good. Hardly any downtimes. Speeds are decent. Good pings for Gamers. Even if you have access through LAN, you get a public IP so all p2p software work without a hitch you can even setup a http server. Negatives include ignorant support staff and difficulty in getting connection if your local cable operator is not affiliated with Exatt.

[Ricky]

wORM.. your connection sound pretty futuristic in the concern of India.. :P I wish if I could have same in my place... You have public IP, you have right price .. and unlimtd above all.. oh man .

[teknoPhobia]

Im using Airtel GPRS on my 3220 EDGE phone and I get consistent 9-13 kbps. I mite get more if I had one of the fones with DKU 2 cuz the serial cable limit is reached. The reason why airtel connects suck l8 at night is cuz bout 2/3rds of the towers auto shut down at night due to low load.

yes on 256kbps line your maximun downlaod speed will be 32KB/s
how?
256kilobits/second = 256/8kilobytes/second = 32KB/s

[Ankur Gupta]

Sometimes at nite at abt 3 or 4 am i do get 45-50 kbps but for only abt 30 min or so.the reason the service is gud in my area as my house is near to the telephone exchange and it makes a lot of difference and also i got my telephone wiring changed before getting the broadband connection.

[rollcage]

I dont get that much speed .. you are lucky u if are getting ..
the wiring they do change everywhere they install Triband

Atleast now feeling frustrated..
:shock: :(

[indian]

I think SIFY rocks because i have 64 kbps unlimitted hour connection,it has 150 mb per day limit(between 8.00am to 10.00pm and unlimitted usages at night).As my connection is 64 kbps but i get 16 KB/sec downloading speed.

[himtuna]

simply airtel
128kbps for Rs.699 p.m.
I get max of 11Kbps @ downloads.
What's the good thing is
1)unlimited downloads + 2) a landline phone.
I find it a great deal but still craving for more speed.

[Abhijit_T]

A question to MTNL 590 NU 256kbps users-

Wht does the plan show for you guys on MTNL website?
Because I applied for the same plan, and its showing DSL_TriB_599, but the connection speed I get is 256kbps

And the MTNL Tariff page shows TriB_599 as a 512 connection

Also, is the splitter provided with the modem any use?
Because I'm not using it currently, the wire is connected directly to the phone line

[~Phenom~]

Hey guys.
Now I also joined the broadband users club and without spending a penny.
How?
Well , today I got a call from BSNL and they told me to try their Dataone for two months absolutely free of cost.
I jumped up to the occasion and got it.
Now , the external ADSL modem is installed and I m enjoying the Broadband free of cost.
Isnt that gr8.
I m loving it, couldnt ask for more.

There are two plans one is of 590 which has night unlimited and 1GB and speed is 256Kbps.
And there is 599 plan which has 1GB free transfer and speed is 512kbps.
the plan tht is showing in ur account i guess is the 512kbps plan.
report 2 thm and chk if they have allotted u the wrong plan.

The maximum theoretical download speed you can get on a 256 Kilo Bit Per Second line is 32 Kilo Bytes Per Second .

Now you are saying that the average speed is 40 KBps , which means that the speed fluctuates above and below 40 KBps .

Now how can you possibly get a download speed of 40 KBps ? :roll: :roll: :roll:

[shashanktyagi1]

It ain't really broadband if it ain't broadband. Whatever. I don't have broadband yet (still dial-up) but I'm looking for comments on MTNL's Tri-Band and BSNL's new schemes.
One word pal - SUCKS!!! My friends have tested both MTNL, BSNL tested their "broadband" connections and they got very LOW speeds ;). Sometimes they used to get speeds equivalent to dial up or less. These guys just dont have ENOUGH infrastructure in place to cope with the demand. Besides they have very bad limits on downloads :(
well bsnl spd are not that bad. i get consistently above 30 kbps which for 250pm is good enough. for 1000 you get around 70-80.

[munim2020]

is there any guys who know of a good wireless internet connection? i live in my college hostel and i can't get any phone line from outside..

The best is me.
Right now i am in a cafe.
But usually i surf Chip (http://chip-india.com) from my mobile fone and usually the pages load within 5 secs.
Nice speed considering a mobile to be a very small device though.

I'd say i get a speed of 30kbps surfin speed.

Well buddy... the ideal speed is 8kbps...but even i was getting only 5 that too in idle time after 1 am... So i changed my Plan to 256 Kbps 8-8 plan.

I was supposed to get around 30 or 25 kbps (32 is ideal)and was getting 8-9 kbs...Pity.....Hathway is **** man.....

So i have warned them of leaving thier connection if they donot provide me with good speed and also have kept my connection of March on HOLD to make them aware of this.


Checkout the reply..

Hello Sir,

I am Sorry that even after complaining to hathway your problem is not been solved, i will look in the matter personal level and asure you that your connection will be taken special care that you wont be dispionted here after
it was never notice to be by any one before thanks for mailing me so that i came to know that my customer in bibvewadi has such problem

sir,

i sure you when your plan will re joint in APRIL you will not have any complaint

this is an confarmation that your plan is keep on HOLD for month of March 2006.



HOPE everything turns out better

[shravan]

Did you know Airtel partially supports Sifys national backbone :P. Also, BSNL can't even be considered a competent enough player- slow setup, line problems, impaired connectivity, non existant support, etc. Airtel is India's *only* wired landline service provider besides BSNL.

DOnt apply airtel
browsing and downloading is very slow

I have taken 128kbps UL Rs 699/- and this is what i get

}

The airtel site shows more speed but as per my experience speed is very bad .Only their site shows that speed and all others show very very bad speed.And also the page loading in very slow.
when i download a file with IDM i get 10KB/s (not anywhere nearer to rated 16KB/s)

Best option is SIfy

In sify i used to get 200KB/s speeds for ateast for 2-3 days in a month(sometimes for full month). and also their rated speeds for 256kbps connection used to be exactly 32KB/s .But unfortunately due to some problems i had to disconnect from its service.

My friend has BSNL

for a 256kbps plan he gets 20-24KB/s using IDM which is just ok .But we expect atleast 30KB/s as we are paying for 256kbps and not for 160kbps.

I will rate the ISP in the following order in terms of speed and service
1)Sify
2)BSNL
3)Airtel

[Dipen01]

Its all like we all have some problems or other...Very less people are genuinely satisfied or happy with thier connection...

Hathway...bad..
Airtel...bad..
Sify ...bad.. (read in one of the threads...)

BSNL u need phoneline...so its not feasiible for hostelites... :((

Neighbor got broad'HA'band MTNL
:? :? :? :?
SUXXX!!
Very Xpensive...Slow...Limited.....and if you cross the limit they will Burn Holes in your pockets.Most people dont realize that every incoming data packet is download....so even chatting and surfing count.....
and i get better speeds on my roltanet dial-up!! :twisted:

:D :D But then the service is very unique. There are a few people who are satisfied and never encounter problems. So ya never know what to expect...It might be good or bad...Depends on your luck and planetary positions on the day of purchase :lol:

BTW I m lookin fer a good bb offer in mumbai. Anyone got news post reply.... :?:

neerajvohra, those sify's plans sound tempting! But I have heard a lot , how bad sify is. how's your experience?

[nishant_nms]

I am using Sify for more than 3 months and the service is great no downtime great speed sometimes even more than 350 Kbps.

[BLITZ~KRIEG!]

wat is the best offer in kolkata for unlimited downloads?

[pradeep_chauhan]

The best broadband in Delhi was net4india we used to get a speed of upto 1Mbps almost daily for 4 to 6 hours but they have closed shop (was obvious...) any way guys try Inventum there low end packages suck so go in for 256 or higher. The download speeds are constant at 32K for 256K pack and cost Rs 1200 for unlimited downloads here in delhi.

[srikanthgss]

hi guys,

I use a BSNL Dataone connection and it is as good as it gets.

ISP :BSNL
Location:Visakhapatnam,Andhra Pradesh.
Plan :Home 250
Download limit:400 mb
Price :Rs 250 p/m
Comments:If you are an average user who mostly checks mail and surfs and downloads the ocasssional songs,this is the best offer u can get.I get rock steady download rates of 30 kbps.Couple it with a download accelerator and u get speeds touching 35-40 kbps. (However, the initial modem cost is Rs 2000.You can also get it on a rent basis)

BSNL is also offering a free trial of two months.Dunno if the offer is still there.But rush before it gets late! :D

[vwad]

are tata indicom unlimited plans really & truely unlimited ?

[vwad]

Is it true that tata indicom broadband connection is not good means the DSAs are private limited companies who collect money and never get back.

I had requested for feasibility check and got this messege after the enquiry through enquiry number given by them.

"Thank you for your interest in the supersmart, superfast Tata Indicom Broadband connection. Our representative will contact you in the next 72 hours on the contact details entered by you in the request form.

Your enquiry no is *******. Please quote the same, should you need to get in touch with us to enquire about the status of your connection. You can track the status of your enquiry online.

For any queries, do write to us at customerservice@vsnl.co.in or call our Customer Service Number in your city.

I have heard people haven't got their connection in some areas and getting the money paid for plan or installation are very difficult to get back.

Anybody guiding here what to do.

I am from Pune

[grinning_devil]

@vwad,i dont kjnow abt their broadband ,but i surely faced some bad times with their wireless telephone connection.
paid them the amount,had to call them many number of times,
then had to visit their office many times to get my deposit refunded,and they paid me back the amount after close to three months...

for me airtel is working like a charm... :))

Does anyone here hav a hathway connection??

[grinning_devil]

hathway is like our cable connection..rite ???

[runeet]

Yeah bcoz they also provide broadban connection, but in select cities only, does anybody here hav it.

[Dipen01]

hathway is like our cable connection..rite ???

yeah exactly...i little not to famous connection ...found only at Metros and Pune and Hyd shayad...

Well one bad thing is that..speed is not what is expected...am gettin 9-10 kbps connection on 256Kbps..one....

Good thing...that as it cable.what i did is. I purchased TV tuner card and then with the help of splitter i can even watch FREE TV :P on it....

My plan is from 8 pm - 8 am and Sunday fee (441rs)...so in mornings TV :P

[grinning_devil]

ohhh...i remember...a frnd of mine was having this...and was usually foudn crying in between us for the lack of speeds...
10kBps ur getting shud be infact for 128kbps plan...anyways when u ont have any choice then better go with what u have!!

"something is better than nothing"

[runeet]

Yeah even I hav the same hathway plan. Man speed sometimes sucks like hell. If I connect to the internet at at around 8 there is too much of traffic to even surf proprrly.

[grinning_devil]

and how much ru paying for this??

[Dipen01]

551/- - Registration Charges (Non Refundable)
1000/- Deposit (Refundable)
441/- Plan Charges (8pm-8am , Sunday whole day, 256Kbps :()

Well i would have definitely opted for Dataone but the prob is as am an hostelite.. i dont have landline..and Sify and Tata Indicom are not in my section of City...

As said by Someone
BEGGARS cannot be CHOOSERS..

cant help but mourn...

[runeet]

hey dipen do u get decent speed with ur hathway, which plab r u using, I am using the night bird plan, from night 8 to morning 8, with unltd downloads, speed 256 kbps.

[grinning_devil]

hey dipen do u get decent speed with ur hathway, which plab r u using, I am using the night bird plan, from night 8 to morning 8, with unltd downloads, speed 256 kbps.

how much speeds are u getting ??

[Dipen01]

@runeet:

Well first i had Thruaway Regular (64Kbps - Anytime - 551/-) and the speed expected was 8kbps but all i was gettin was 3 in day and 5 (AT MAX) in nite (2-3 AM)...

So got frustrated and changed connection...to NIGHT BIRD 8-8... (256 Kbps)...even that sucked.. i was supposed to get 32kpbs (atleast 27-28) and all i was gettin was 9 - 10 kbps... So i warned HATHWAY people and kepy my connection on HOLD for March.. and threatened them that if i dont get decent speeds. I will leave thier connection..

So now when i resumed yesterday nite..Torrent speed was good (28-29 throughout) but other downloading were petty slow..around 5 kbps..

Lets see how it goes....

btw if u r in Pune then even u must be facing downtimes since last 2-3 days..

[runeet]

Me too i am having the same damn proble, not getting enough speed, is there any way u can measure browsing speed of the internet.

[grinning_devil]

@suneet....there are many available on web that can measuire ur speed..but the best and closest i tink that comes up in checking speed is from McAfee...
frm this link..

promos.mcafee.com/speedometer/

run the test around 3/5 times and compute the average

[Dipen01]

There's solid downtime here...since 3 days...its screwed...

[runeet]

Yeah even while surfing at night all of a sudden the modem goes down, those lights for send and receive start to blink, is the problem related to the computer or the service provider.

[Dipen01]

It all with Service Provider..

[kuldeep bhardwaj]

hi everyone
can anyone tell me a good broadband service provider in jaipur<rajasthan>.

[khandu]

Ok Guys

What service is better Tataindicom VSNL Broadband or Sify

In Navi Mumbai..

Actually I am shifting places and these are the only 2 available there..

The Traiff of Sify is lower .. 256 kbps unlimited : Rs. 1100
Tata infinity 256 : Rs. 1600

Both are unlimited plans.. I need that..

Money dosent matter.. Speed, service and connectivity matters..

if any of their users from Mumbai/Navi Mumbai could help out..

Cya all

[ashfame]

Does any provider exists in Delhi, that offers broadband speed in kilobytes/sec rather than in kilobits/sec.

Hi, I am looking for some alternative to BSNL dataone here in Kolkata due to some problems (I had applied for H500 3 months back and they are telling me NOW that I am still on H250. In the meantime I had downloaded huge amounts of data (>5GB per month) during 2AM-8AM for the past 2 months with the thought that I was on H500. My local exchange also confirmed at that time that H500 was activated. Now customer support is telling me that I am in H250. Now if billing is done based on H250, I will get a bill of more than Rs.12000. BSNL absolutely sux!).

I was thinking of Airtel 256kbps unlimited at Rs.999 per month. Can someone tell me it's availability in Kolkata and can someone who is using it post some feedback regarding download speed, connectivity etc?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.You can opt for BSNL's Home-900 (UL) plan. It offers the speed of 256 KB(b)ps and unlimited downloads at a flat rate of Rs. 900 per month. As for your problem, I think it is mostly your own fault. You should have checked out which plan you had before downloading so much data. I know you had applied for it but there might be some problems in processing the request. It is your responsibility to confirm it before using it. Just my thoughts on the matter. Don't take offence. :)

[mohit sharma]

in my area airtel landline had reached 2 weeks ago , and i m one of it's first broadband subscriber here , it had changed my life ( really ) , details are as follows ::

PLAN :: HOME 699

BANDWIDTH :: 128 kbps .

DATA EXCHANGE ALLOWED :: UNLIMITED .

HAPPY HOURS :: @ NIGHT 10:30 TO 6:30 SPEED IS DOUBLED TO 256 kbps .

SPECIAL OFFER :: discount of rs. 1000 installation charges.

WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT IT :: i don't have to wait for night to make heavy download , plus robust wiring , and good service at any time , engineers visit in 2 hours even for small gliches.

[enigmatic.manas]

ENIGMATIC'S GUIDE TO AIRTEL BROADBAND
when it comes to broadband services then airtel is one such company on which u can rely.all airtel broadband tariff plans are divided into 2 categories:-
a)residential plans
b)corporate plans
as most of us(digit forum members,except raabo) come under residential plan i will discuss about that only.all residential plans are divided into 2 major parts:-
A)combo plans:-in these plans u get both broadband and landline telephone services.that is u will get a modem for broadband usage and a landline phone for making telephone calls.
B)stand alone plans:-in these plans u will get a modem only for broadband usage.no landline phone will be provided to u.
DETAILS OF STAND ALONE PLANS:-
these plans are basically for those who need high speed unlimited broadband connection.the best stand alone plan details of airtel are as follows:-
plan name:-Home 999(top up/stand alone)
bandwith(speed) upto:-256kbps(in airtel u usually get steady speed)
installation charges:-rs 1000 or rs 1500(i am not sure about this,but its not less than 1000)
security deposit:-NA
usage:-unlimited
validity:- 1 month
monthly charges:-rs 900+rs 99(modem rental)+taxes(@12.24%)
comments:-u will get a modem from airtel.the major drawback of this plan is that its very costly.monthly charges will be like rs 1120 approx.( oh my god).
but the service provided is very good.
DETAILS OF THE COMBO PLAN:-
best plan(according to me) among all the combo plans is:-
plan name:-super combo 799
speed:- 64 kbps
installation charges:-rs 800
security deposit:- NA
usage:-unlimited
validity:- 1 month
monthly charges:- rs 799(modem rental inclusive)+taxes(@12.24%)
free voice usage:- 450 pulses(beyond that u have to pay @1.10 per pulse).
comments:-there are nearly 8 or 9 different combo plans but why i selected this one as the best is because all other combo plans have a download cap of
either 400,500 or 600 Mb.also free voice usage(pulses) provided in other combo plans is very less nearly 150 or 50.the major drawback of this plan is that the speed provided is very low(64 kbps/8 kBps).
SORRY FOLKS FOR WRITING SUCH A LONG POST.I ONLY WANTED TO SHARE SOMETHING IMPORTANT WITH U ALL.

[enigmatic.manas]

hey people i just wanted to inform u that above mentioned plans are applicable in UP EAST.it might be available in your area but there may be slight changes in it.so check for the details before going for the above mentioned plans.

airtel claims that they offer 128kbps in day and 256kbps in night. so, technically a user should get a download speed of 16kbps in day and 32kbps in night. however, i only get 11-12kbps in day and 22-24kbps in night. that means u dont get what u paid for. all other info is correct. but actual bill is 699+84 (service tax). if u have better experience with airtel then mention it. :)

Frm which sites u download? Try downloading frm Microsoft and then if u get low speed than there is some prob.

Can u people imagine the plight of Broadband connections in Bangalore !! I am staying at BTM in Bangalore and trying to get one unlimited internet connection at some decent rate. Here is what I tried till now :
1. BSNL : They say that they can't provide any more connections in the area as they have reached their maximum limit. It will take one week to get the landline connection but internet will be available only after 2-3 months.
2. Airtel : They say that in our area they don't have any free lines left. Only when they upgrade the system, they will be able to any more connections. This upgradation needs govt's approval . What the hell !!
3. Sify : They are charging 2500/- as initial installation charges. They say they have dedicated lines and they wont be giving any modem. We will have to buy one hub to connect to more than one computer. (That amounts to around 3000/- that is too much investment .. U wont be able to switch to some other ISP if u later realise that sify sucks because of this huge investment)
4. Tata : After searching on net and reading the reviews of TATA Indicom users I don't have courage to even enquire about broadband plans of TATA.
5. Cable Guys : No idea .. looking for this as the last option.

Now this is very pathetic that even in the city which is called as "IT HUB" and "Silicon Valley" , one is not able to get a broadband connection.

Sify totally sucks. Their broadband is wat to expensive and it is like a dialup connection and they calls it has broadband.

I pay Rs.1200 for 256Kbps unlimited and it is pathetic.

Man, if this Raju cable wallah launches his service in Mumbai, then all other ISPs will have to close down. You are really lucky to get that sort of connection in india so enjoy it while it lasts.

Comments:Not bad but i'm looking for something better (quicker to be exact) because it takes forever to download movies and I get very high pings on online games. Their connection is quite smooth, I've been using it for more than 8 months and didn't have much downtime but high-speed connections are costly.

My connections is going to end on 17th June and I'm hoping to switch to another ISP, Sify(night unlimited) or Exatt(10GB SU). If anyone has the contact no. for Exatt(Xbroadband then please post it here or PM me, the no. on their site doesn't work.

Which other GOOD ISPs would you recommend in Mumbai (Lalbaug) which have good 256kbps schemes at affordable rates (I download lots of stuff, surf and do online ga
