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".

So is BSNL better or MTNL? I'm planning on a 512KBPS or 1MBPS UL plan. Max I can shell out is Rs. 1700 a month though.

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

Wasn't aware sry.

Tab toh airtel hi best choice hai, cuz MTNL's service AFAIK is not satisfactory.
You have one big problem of lack of information, don't you?

Infering from the Airtel Fair Usage Policy it is understandable that :-

1."a small number of users" are those who use more than a mere 10-13% of data usage.
2. "A generous usage level is" = 10-13% data usage.
3. Slow speeds 128/256/384kbps can impair Airtel's network performance.
4. A data usage of more than 10-13% will result in customer being penalised by reduced speeds by upto 50%.

In the age of Gbps and Mbps, Airtel reduction of speeds by 50% in 128/246/348kbps plans that impairs Airtel's network performance, it is safe to conclude that Airtel is unfit to provide ISP service in India.

Airtel has no right to be a internet traffic cop

^^As of now, unless you want to game, nothing beats BSNL H500.

For gaming, local cable operators offer _the_ best pings ever.

I completely agree with u. I m having absolutely no probs downloading Movies and Music files from BSNL. Awesome Speed....

Who Cares about Customer Care PPl unless u land up in some kinda trouble with the Connection..

Till Now a happy BSNL BB Customer..
