Do you have both of them available in your area? I doubt that. Anyway for your budget, on MTNL, you would need to shell out Rs. 1,599 for 512 Kbps unlimited line.

[comp@ddict]

Wat about MTNL, which one is more reliable among the two?

[Ethan_Hunt]

I was talking about MTNL itself. I am on MTNL NU 849 scheme since last year & a half. It's been rock solid in terms of stability. The only real problem is to get the TriBand connection & the delays involved in it. People have to wait endlessly till they finally get their connection. But once you get it & everything is stable then you won't have a single issue. Downtimes are very very low (next to nil). The only problem I had in all this time of usage was only recently when there was a damage to some MTNL telephone lines in our area & they took a freaking week to fix it up. That too can't be considered a server fault as it's more of a physical disconnection. Apart from that it's been consistent.

No, after I replied, I saw that u had replied in the time being, that's y MTNL thingy.

BTW, I checked BSNL's plan, it's cheaper than MTNL(1599) and Airtel(1499) for the 512KBPS UL plan only at 1399.

So, thinking of getting that soon.

Their policy is to start with all "metro cities" so YES.

In that case I'm moving to Patna/Bihar.

@ ^^^^^^^^ .. this is not the RULE yet... it's just a proposal . can chek previous posts..

@ kalpik : I am working on the same lines, i've bugged them to the core . wrote off to the nodal officer. complained about a CSE who has not raised a feedback after me askingf him to do that very specifically... and yes I am in Blore and no caps applied on me yet though my usage is already 27 gb in thius month

[ThinkFree]

No point in comparing MTNL and BSNL as they are almost the same company. MTNL provide services in Delhi and MUmbai only and here you won't get BSNL.and elsewhere in country MTNL is not there.

[karmanya]

im on a 256 line, already downloaded 20 gigs this month- my speeds are still the same.

[comp@ddict]

Mabe it'll start next month. So download all you can this month itself.

[NucleusKore]

A Limited Unlimited Plan
What a laugh
Will have to meter my bandwidth to find out how this affects me.

[Faun]

^^If they can call 64kbps as boradband

[Hitboxx]

I will hit 50GB in another 5 hours for a 10day meter, let's see.

[comp@ddict]

They can call this fair huh!

Bhai sahab Delhi mein BSNL kahan se aagaya?
Delhi and Mumbai mein MTNL chalta hai.

The day is not far when we will need a separate dictionary for India. Even 'unlimited' is limited. I wonder how would they define "God" and "Government".

GOD = Sachin Tendulkar
Government = Shiv Sena

Wasn't aware sry.

Tab toh airtel hi best choice hai, cuz MTNL's service AFAIK is not satisfactory.

[mavihs]

[Ethan_Hunt]

Dude there is no competition between the two. MTNL only operates in Delhi and Mumbai. BSNL operates in rest of India.

You have one big problem of lack of information, don't you?
