Hope it hasn't been posted earlier.

All the mtnl workers in mumbai are lazy dumbas* . I applied for mtnl broadband night unlimited plan , and the man responsible for setting up the connection said that it will take 2.5 months for setting up the connection even when i have mtnl landline connection in my house from last 20 years . My area is covered as shown in their website and my neighbour has mtnl connection so connectivity is not a problem . The only reason is that their people are very lazy to work .

Not really...
There may not be Technical feasibility to provide you a connection.
Mostly it means that there is no empty port in DSLAM situated in your local exchange.
so they must be waiting for new equipment to enhance capacity and provide more connections than current capacity.

This process usually takes time

MTNL suxz. I had applied for 849 NU 4 months back when my PL was starting. Now the PL, Exams, Vacation all are over and they still haven't changed it.

Revised Unlimited Plans in Delhi:
256 Kbps = Rs 599/- (earlier it was Rs 799/-)
512 Kbps = Rs 1299/-

While Mumbai's Plans are
256 Kbps = Rs.2500/-/-
512 Kbps = Rs.4500/-/-

why there is diffrent between this two city

[Pathik]

^^ Cos MTNL Mumbai sucks. And MTNL Delhi doesnt.

[Tech.Masti]

[L0rd_Aryan]

I'm using Airtel 128kbps for Rs. 699 , where the bill comes around Rs. 785 after taxes...

And Airtel is the winner!

[The_Devil_Himself]

add Rs50 for router charges and then do 112.5% for total bill.

599plan=Rs730 Bill/month.

[myhotdog]

you mean 599 rs only for phone+broadband+tax+rental etc ?

[L0rd_Aryan]

As 599 plan can't be applied for anymore, I guess my Airtel conne. is better...
