some 2 years back, i have used AirTel BB for over 3 years continuously and found it to be the best. some two weeks back, i have used it again (2mbps) to conduct a training (15 days) using Cisco webex video conferencing with skype. it works like a charm. i even downloaded 2-3 movie clips (300-500MB) and that too got over damn fast.
it is not available in my area so when we shifted i got it disconnected some 3 years back. if we shift to any other area or they start services in my area, i will go for it again. service is good, cc too is good specially i found the local tech people who come to rectify the problem were also good and helpful.

All the people I've met with Airtel BB; the general feedback is positive and the customer care is friendly.
You can switch to it :)

I guess the only problem with Airtel BB is FUP.

I too want to switch from BSNL. But can't decide which provider should I move.

Actually I'm looking for 1mbps TRUE UL Plan (No FUP).

BSNL have 1mbps Plan but charge is too high.
Cable Broadband offers 1mbps Plan on 999/- or something like that, but not reliable. Heard that Cable Broadband starts becoming an issue on Rainy days or on little Thunderstorms.
Reliance is there, with decent plan but people suggests it's not reliable.
And finally Airtel has FUP on all plans :(

^^krishnandu, did you see the Alliance Broadband plan?

I mean,how much reliable they are?

Their, Unlimited Reloaded--->Downloaders Delight--->PREFERRED package is quite interesting for me at least.

They are providing 4Mbps from 1:00a.m. to 9:00a.m. everyday,and 700kbps the rest of the time.

Certainly 700kbps is slower than 1Mbps,but the trade-off between speed and cost has to be borne in mind.

They are providing 4Mbps from 12:00midnight to 9:00a.m everyday,and 700kbps the rest of the time.

Yeah I saw Alliance Broadband plans. The problem is I'm not sure about their reliability. Like many people says they experience total downtime during monsoon or in case of even little thunderstorm, that's going to be a big problem for me.

If the 4 mbps part stays through out the month on matter how much you download, then go for it.

Personally, I only download during those hours and 4 mbps during hours means you can downloads lots of stuff.

^^Thanks papul,but again the question of "RELIABILTY" pops up in our mind.

Also see this what they(Alliance Broadband) claim: Alliance Broadband Internet service rates


^^get 2MBPS@80GB for 1699/-(+ tax)
No use bro.,because Alliance Broadband "PREFEERED" plan will cut your pocket by Rs.850/-(inclusive of Service Tax) including FUP and Unlimited Broadband network per month.
