Finally, MTNL Mumbai babus have woken up.
256kbps Unlimited access launched at Rs.999 in Mumbai.

Still not as cheap as Delhi though

Rs.999 for a 256k UL connection? Hell no. I'll stick to my 849NU plan, thank you very much.

Nope....We have MTNL.

Exatt Broadband has 256 kbps, 10 GB monthly transfer limit @ 500pm.
I guess its much cheaper, but then you need to have a LAN connection(cable internet). Also, the service is not so good. Thats why I am planny to get a MTNL GSM data card.

I am getting 256Kbps UL for 750 + 20% Discount(As My Father Is A Govt Employee).

Though the service never had a downtime. MTNL Mumbai is very expensive. My bill for this month alone is Rs. 3645. I am on a DSL 749 plan. I remember when I was in Bangalore my BB bill (Airtel) never exceeded Rs.1200.

Except for the speed, this plan looks Ok to switch.

All i can say is that Rs.1000 is better than Rs.2500 anytime anyday. I just got my connection for MTNL the 1299 walla package and i confirmed the news with him also. He said "yeah it is true they have 999 offer for 256kbps unlimited. So i will be surely opting for that one next month.

Although i had one question for the existing MTNL users. Did you guys experience slow net as well at the start? Cause my surfing speed is okay (way better than sify lol) but my download speed is like crappy. Can anyone answer/reply me please?

Downloads are great, no lag! Youtube videos too render like "Makhan".
Is there any way to check total data downloaded (to avoid overstepping the limit)?
