I just thought this thread could list out all the best broadband offers from various ISPs across the country. Might turn out to be useful information for those who don't know about what's available. The idea is to fill in this form: ISP: City: Specific Areas: Plan Name: Speed Offered: Usage Limitation (Mb / Gb): Validity: Price: Comments: For example, I have heard that Reliance Powersurfer is planning this offer: ISP: Reliance powersurfer City: Mumbai Specific Areas: Bandra to Andheri Plan Name: (not released yet) Speed Offered: 256 Kbps Usage Limitation (Mb / Gb): Unlimited Validity: NA Price: Rs 2,500 per month Comments: Always on, Public IP or ISP: Exactnet City: Mumbai Specific Areas: Bandra (that i know of) Plan Name: dunno Speed Offered: 1 Mbps Usage Limitation (Mb / Gb): 1 Gb Validity: 3 months Price: Rs 1150 Comments: haven't met any Exactnet users so far! Let's see what's available out there, and the more from outside Mumbai the better thanks Raaabo |

ISP: Ortel
City: Bhubaneshwar, Cuttack Specific Areas: None, provides Net service in these two Cities to whichever home has an existing cable TV connection from the same company. Plan: Home Economy Speed Offered: 256 kbps Usage Limitation: 600 Mb/month, free downloads from 11PM to 9AM. Validity:Monthly Price:500 pm Comments: Extremely good service. Although advertises broadband speeds, I am able to get download speeds of around 60-70 kbps. Uses DOCSIS 2.0 technology. Getting a cable modem is a must, so initial charges come around to 1500/-. Each month I am able to download around 10 Gbs of data, so I guess this service is more than satisfactory. |

I'm not interested in "broadband", because then none of us could post anything here.
I'm talking of solutions that ISPs "call" broadband. Also post if your ISP provides higher speed plans that you cannot afford. This doesn't only have to be about what connection you have, it could also be about what currently offered connection you want. Raaabo |

could u add another field
Actually download speed peak and off-peak . ie the "kBps" eg 56k dial up offers only 4-7 kBps during peak hours . companies might give HUGE offers , but actual speed might be better . Plus totaly package , including modem / service and how they rate the service and support |

Although this is not or is not advertised as Broadband, this is comparable or even better than the previously mentioned.
ISP: TATA (Indicom) City: Vellore (TN) Specific Areas: Anywhere in the reach of Tower [CDMA] Plan Name: Plan 240 Speed Offered: Max of 115kbps (consistently above 60kbps) Usage Limitation (Mb / Gb): Unlimited Validity: Monthly Price: Rs.1500.00 per month Comments: I get a decent and consitent 7.5kBps download speed. With Microsoft and such good sites with speed I even get above 9kBps. Telephone charges are accounted seperately while billing. P.S: I download more that 2GB data per month. Last month I downloaded 3CDs of Mandrake 10 Community release and more. Now I am downloading Solaris 10 (4CDs) |

ISP: Relience Broadband
City: Bangalore Specific Areas: JP Nagar Plan Name: Plan 750 Plan 1200 Plan 3000 Speed Offered: 128, 256, 512 Usage Limitation (Mb / Gb): 10gb Validity: NA Price: Rs 750 for the 128, 1200 for 256 and 3000 for 512 Ok this is the official word I got from the website and after speaking to customer service reps in Bangalore. I will be speaking to a rep directly as I told them I want to get it installed at home. So as I know more the loop holes, if any, I will keep you updated. So far a 10gb download limit looks good!
