Beam Fiber's Crazy Cheap Broadband Plans
Someone linked me this site on steam today, confused with what it is, I decided to give it a look. Looks like there's a ISP called Beam using the fiber technology (not common in India) but I didn't expect it to be nowhere near affordable.
What the..... 10 Mbps unlimited speed @ Rs. 1000, something looked fishy there but the site looks, decent and valid enough. I've signed up for the service. I'm still not expecting quality service from them, gonna read some reviews of their service tomorrow, It's too late now.
Anyone aware of their service or are you using it at the moment? Can I expect quality service from them?
Update: Looks like there's a 30GB FUP in the 10Mbps plan (which is enough for me) after which they will downgrade the bandwidth to 2Mbps (enough for me again). I'm DEFINITELY gonna switch to Beam if their service is decent enough and available where I live.. (BSNL sucks, too much problems).
Update[2]: Their service is only available in Hyderabad. Why do the good ISPs and their plans never get released nationwide..

Re: Beam Fiber's Crazy Cheap Broadband Plans
- Installation charges will apply depending on plan chosen
- All plans are inclusive of taxes
- Fair Usage Policy applies for Unlimited Data Plans
- * Free usage limit applicable for downloads only, uploads are unlimited
read terms below.... 
All Plans Fiber to Home
Fair Usage Policy
and if you crossed FUP in 10mbps, then also you have no problem, because they giving speed of 2mbps after FUP..... is this real ?? or someone is joking ? 
if this is true, ie 2mbps REAL unlimited is only (10,000/12= Rs. 833)....
wait , something is wrong....  because, notice they have no B-Max850 scheme in any plan, but in list of FUP, they have this plan.... is this a fake site then ???

Re: Beam Fiber's Crazy Cheap Broadband Plans

:: ACT Television ::
Never tried ACTTV though

Re: Beam Fiber's Crazy Cheap Broadband Plans
Already said, BSNL. Not sure if they actually have 2mbps at that price. I applied for 750c but they gave me 2mbps at same price. Lucky I guess.

^I'm using the 750 plan with 512 Kbps, are you sure that it is 2Mbps because I don't think so .
