BSNL data one is a useless service , also u all know how that government service operates when u have some complaints, Personally I'm using airtel broadband , 128 Kbps unlimited ADSL , about 18-20kbps download speed , Its gr8 very satisfied with it , it comes with a phone (with lots of schemes / features) too on the same line without the monthly rental on the phone or the modem , It just costs me 600 + 10.2% service tax + telephone calls charged at the same BSNL rate. Try and take airtel If u have not already, contact Ankit at 9890800358 or 9890800399 , Tell him I gave the no.

Dataone, the service is good except that of the night downloads everything is good and also that if ur phone line is shitty then Dataone ppl cant do anything its the exchangfes thats responsible so they just cant help it.

go for sify,,,,installation charges 1500 this will include trendmicro av so i think this is worth
then go for 900 rs per month with 150 mb cap b/w 8 am to 10 pm and after 10 pm to 8 am unlimited download i think its worth ,
i have this plan since 1 month and i am happy with this
download speed i am getting,,,30-36 kBps

check sifybroadband.com
