Default Should i change from BSNL to Airtel Broadband??


i use bsnl unlimited plan

speed = 26 kbs or more [maxes to 32kbs]

price = best [the unlimited plan has been reduced to Rs750pm from Rs900pm]

service = crappy sometimes [downtimes are quite often experienced]

planning to change to airtel if things do not improve soon (nothing improved from the past 2-3 year . lol)

do you guys suggest the change to Rs. 1000 pm for 384 kpbs (48 kbs) from Airtel

thanx

there is virtually no downtime in Airtel.. also the customer care is responsive..

so if you get more headaches or frustrated with BSNL service, there is nothing wrong in switching...

btw I'm in Chennai..

I am also from Chennai and I have been using Home 500 for the past 6 months. I am frustrated with BSNL but speed of 2 Mbps is blinding my eyes from changing to Airtel.

but the BSNL site still quotes the 256kbps unlimited plan for Rs900...

I'm doing the opposite of what you're doing ,

I'm dumping Airtel and going for BSNL Home 500 plan,

Reason is Airtel most often gives bloated bills and their plans are a bit more expensive.

I love BSNL Broadband.. I am getting best price 750rs for 256kbps.. this price will be after 1th may..

Our city has good bsnl support team.. I always get satisfactory answers

as far as Airtel broadband concern.. Once I called customer care.. they said they dont provide Broadband lol.. I said I have read on your Website. But still he says.. sorry we dont provide broadband just Mobile Office .. lol What a stupid guy he is...

I think both are almost the same..Airtel customer support is definitely better...and prices are same..even Airtel charges 750 for 256Kbps...so U wont be feeling any significant difference. and If Airtel has 384@999, then if I m nt wrong, BSNL just introduced 512@1299..
