bsnl broadband/internet sugesstion

[annindyadas]

guys currently m using aircel pocket internet and my max data usage went upto 5.4gb and now i want choose a bsnl broadband connection. i liked these plans::
BBG Combo ULD 1000(2 Mbps upto 15 GB, 256 Kbps beyond 15 GB)
BBG Combo ULD 1350(4 Mbps upto 20 GB, 512 Kbps beyond 20 GB )
BB Home Combo ULD 900 (4Mbps upto 8 GB, 256 Kbps beyond 8 GB )
i wanted to know how is the speed performance if anyone using any of the above plans and is from kolkata. how much do you get at 2Mbps and 4Mbps connection?

[thetechfreak]

A 2 mbps connection means download speeds of approximately 200 kBps and 4 mbps means download speed of 400 kBps.

You will get that speed if you take the plan.

[sujoyp]

but there is no actual use if u cant downlaod at that speed...to open a webpage a 512kbps connection is sufficient...but to view online videos and downloading one needs that kindof speed...

[thetechfreak]

but to view online videos and downloading one needs that kindof speed...

That speed is also usefull if OP might wanna share connection in Wi-Fi

yes you are right

[thetechfreak]

BB Home Combo ULD 900 (4Mbps upto 8 GB, 256 Kbps beyond 8 GB )

I reccomend this. Best bang for your buck.

512kbps is much better than 256kbps after 8Gb. Get 512kbps unlimited if you don't mind a brief adrenaline shot of 4mbps for 8GBs.

OP has not only to pay Rs. 450 more but also gets lower speeds.


But he should got for the connection you mentioned if there are no budget constraints.

that 4Mbps won't last long. 8Gb is paltry for a 4Mbps connection. will get used up before OP even have a chance to try something & then the 256kbps pathetic connection will get loose.

[thetechfreak]

If OP wants it within 1k than 4 mbps upto 8 gb otherwise if he has ABSOLUTELY no budget constraint then-
BBG Combo ULD 1350(4 Mbps upto 20
GB, 512 Kbps beyond 20 GB )

this one seems much logical...8 gb is too less for 4mbps

[annindyadas]

thanks guys but i will mainly use it to download enormous data. but if u have any other internet option within1k thn kindly inform me. my first priority is speed atleast 2Mbps.

I reccomend this then...no other meaningful plan....no other ISP has a better plan...go for this-

BB Home Combo ULD 900 (4Mbps upto 8 GB, 256 Kbps beyond 8 GB )

[Faun]

If enormous data then 256kbps will be too slow afterwards.

[sparx]

Get the 1350 imo 512 after the FUP limit is still a consolation

If you would have got the connection before 31.03.11 then you would have got first 15days free usage with 2mbps speed.

I am got my connection two days ago(my PC dint sleep since then). I am getting speeds of 300KBps more than 2mbps

[oscar]

I am currently using ALICE DSL connection.It is running good.I use modem for my DSl connection.Now if i take BSNL connection then What will be the cost of 2Mbps connection?Either there will be need of land line phone or not.Tell me what type of configuration require for BSNL connection?

256kbps is pathetic after using a 2Mbps speed.....dnt go for it

20GB will endup within 1week....& 512kBps is a broadband speed go for it

not recommnded..as per ur requirement...

if u wanna download more in less time than 4mbps is excellent

[annindyadas]

Thanks guys and one more question what about evdo speed wht about it's speed of 750 rs unlimited plan?
How much speed it gonna give ?has anyone tried out?

[shruti]

EVDO speed depends on how near you are to the antenna.

[sparx]

BSNL offers 2mbps speed unlimited with no fup at Rs. 9000. Which is im practical. So best value for money is Rs. 750 unlimited

[annindyadas]

i have a bsnl office near my house around 1-2 km from my house. 2mbps at 9k omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and how much speed it gives at 750?and r there any othr plans between 750 and 9k?

[abhidev]

I hv an yearly plan.....by dad changed the plan from 750UL(512kbps) to 450UL(256kbps)....is there a way i can switch back my plan...coz my dad enquired in the BSNL office...they said since its an yearly plan you can only change this before Nov 2011 end as it gets over in Nov....and if at all you want to still change the plan then you'll hv to pay 1.5k....i mean wth....

[R2K]

i think bsnl 750 UL would be the best. U can download 80+ GB a month if u work hard .LOL i am already on this mission;D

[annindyadas]

rajesh i knw about the home and buisness plans i just wanted to knw about the plans for evdo

[thetechfreak]

Evdo- 750/ul each month.

I reccomend you to use Bsnl 3g. Lot better speed and connectivity.

get it as a prepaid plan, Rs.4200/6 months for unlimited
or
Rs.1350 each month for unlimited,postpaid.

bro u r living in the past...that plan ended 2-3 months back now in 1350 u get 15gb usage only
:: BSNL 3G ::

now there is no 3g unlimited plan

max u can get is 35gb in RS.2720

[thetechfreak]

I think I may not live in the past coz my this months Bsnl bill also contained advert of the plan.

Really then it would be great...I was thinking of that plan but sadly bsnl updated the 3g page and now no unlimited plans

Can you put some details..cost and last date

[thetechfreak]

I think its better to get the prepaid 3g(Rs.4200/6 months) if its still available.
Rs.1350/month is very high


I think you may be right... seeing plans here :: BSNL 3G ::

the plans I have mentioned seem thing of the past.
