Which is the Best Unlimited Broadband in Delhi for Rs 1K ?

[Tarun Singh]

Hello Digitans

I live in Delhi.Currently I use Huawei E303C with airtel 5 GB 3G plan.Now I am thinking to get an unlimited broadband plan from MTNL.I will use it for downloading BluRay movies and games.Please tell me which plan should I take ? My budget is Rs 1000/month. If you are using broadband from MTNL or any other,please share your experience.
One more question my friends are suggesting Reliance and airtel BB. Are they good ?

I am a MTNL broadband user since many years now. Let me share my experience.

I took a TriB 599 Combo Unlimited plan a few years ago, which gave me a speed of 256 kbps but unlimited. I was very happy with it, and even happy after MTNL upgraded the speed to 512 kbps on the same plan. I now pay around Rs 750 per month for this plan. And sometimes my use upto 70 GB of data.

All seems fair and good until you get to deal with the service of MTNL. I have this issue where connection drops dead sometimes randomly. Sometimes I have to keep landline phone on hold to get a stable connection. Sometime a model reboot does the trick. I have complaint several times, but no one cares. If you are lucky enough to have an MTNL exchange nearby, then you might go and complain directly, after which a lineman comes and checks the wires from outside and says, "Everything is fine saar". You can't complaint since at that time connection seems to work. Only to realize that was temporary, and then you still struggle with the connection.

Its this reason why that I am also looking for another broadband. Sadly none provides *truly* unlimited plans that are affordable too. Since you are also from Delhi, lets look at some plans at around 1k in Delhi:

ISP	Plan Name	Plan Rental	Download Speed	FUP	Speed post FUP	Other Benefit	Link
Airtel	Turbo 20 GB	1299	4 Mbps	20 GB	512 kbps	1000 Local calls	*www.airtel.in/broadband-and-fixed-line/broadband/tarrifs
Airtel	Fibrenet 15 GB(Only for FTTH Sites)	1199	8 Mbps	15 GB (wut?)	512 kpbs	Babaji ka Thullu	*www.airtel.in/broadband-and-fixed-line/broadband/tarrifs
Reliance	Thunder Combo 999	999	4 Mbps	50 GB	1 Mbps	Unlimited FREE calls to Reliance fixed lines within city and 0.50 Rs/Min to others	*www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/internet/postpaidcombo.html
Spectranet	Plan 24GB	1099	12 to 16 Mbps	24 GB	1 Mbps	Nothing	*www.spectranet.in/fox.php

(Exact prices can be more since taxes will be extra.)

Now let me tell you I was planning to get Spectranet but their customer care haven't given me reply of my queries on the availability of their services at my locality, but you may want to call them too. And so after I have done this research I think plans from Reliance are looking good!

I used to be a spectranet customer when i was staying in Munirka as well as Malviya Nagar, south delhi. Their 1.5 mbps plan is truly unlimited (which i was subscribed to) and so are other plans including the 1mbps@1k(no fup).
*www.spectranet.in/delhi.php

My monthly consumption easily crossed 250gb+. Monthly downtime was just around half an hour max. I was fully satisfied with them. Also op can try truly unlimited Mtnl 3g @1650 if he can extend his budget in case spectranet is not available in his area.

Wow man. That plan page was not linked from the homepage or anywhere. Thanks for the link.
It's strange that they have buried the link hidden like that. Also the customer care didn't tell me about those plans. They have also not responded to my queries which they said they would do within 24 hours. Either they didn't care or their service is pathetic. Anyway I will wait for free more days and then I might have to go for Reliance.

^^you have to click on the 'cable internet plans' under "solutions for me" on the home page. Earlier they didn't have these so called 10/20 mbps plans. 3mbps was their max. Btw where do you live?

I had to deal with their cc only once while enquiring on the availability in munirka. They gave me the mobile number of the local distributor and told me to talk to him. I called and told him to get me a connection ASAP and within hours I got the connection up and running. Later when I left munirka and shifted to Malviya nagar, I heard he started charging 100/month extra in the name of cable maintenance charges. In Malviya Nagar, the local guy was really nice and was quick on response.

Well, considering the following plans:
Express-1024 kbps : Rs 999: 1 Mbps (Unlimited)
and
Plan 24 GB: Rs 1099: 12 Mbps (and 1 Mbps post FUP)

The second one sounds better. At least super speeds until 24 GB! I hope I get spectranet in East Delhi.

Spectranet ######, ask your service provider for Pacenet. Cheaper and better.

Here in east Delhi its available.

Ask neighbours for the QOS for spectra. While I was in south ext. The service was good, when I came to laxmi nagar, here its just opposite. Frequent downtime.

I am unable to see Plan 24 GB in Spectranet website.

Looks like Spectranet has got problems in my area : *www.consumercourt.in/broadband/46273-spectranet-broadband.html

Post fup 1mbps for this plan is doubtful. It might be 512kbps.

I have heard of Pacenet. But the website for pacenet doesn't show anything. So I doubted their service. I will look into it too.

Post fup 1mbps for this plan is doubtful. It might be 512kbps.

512 kbps speed is for Plan 8GB. For Plan 24GB its 1 Mbps. Read the two line quote here. Also I have confirmed with CC the last time I talked.

For spectranet their FUP is not applicable for plans 1mbps and below , when I was as spectranet users two months ago. I am not sure of now.

Yes. The chart at Spectranet - Cable Broadband in Services in Delhi does show Unlimited usage for all plans for 1mbps and below. So I think plan for 1Mbps is good enough for me. Full speed of 1mbps and with no FUP and under Rs 1K. And for little more than Rs 1k FUP of 24 GB and still 1 Mbps after that!

But damn Spectranet don't reverse my inquiries.

@Tarun Singh: Were you able to select the best ISP and plan for you?

 

[Tarun Singh]

^^ Still doing research.

 

[Hrishi]

Which area are you residing in ? I might be able to provide you the direct number of the guy who works as technician there , if you are somewhere around Laxmi Nagar.

Spectranet works wonders here in Ghaziabad, Indirapuram region.
16mbps(2mBps) till 24gB then 1mbps.
Currently they are offering 48gB/month extra for 6 months, so 72gB/month @16mbps for

Spoiler

1230inr (incl. of taxes)

Biggest advantage: They offer all of google at 16mbps no matter if you have consumed all of your high speed data; so Youtube/Google Play/Google Drive at 16mbps always.
And you get all sorts of useful content on Google Drive these days.

I have been enjoying this for almost 5months now.
Keep in mind that i have fox service; I guess that is spectranet fibre.
I check my usage here: my.spectranet.com

This is a speed test I just did:

Note that some clients were using the connection when I ran the test.
