I have a question. BSNL has the worst support in broadband providers. Just wonder how it will be if they give broadband for free. I would stick to airtel/sify though BSNL give it for free at my house

 

[ravi_9793]

Me too, I have lost faith in BSNL. Airtel/Tata Indicom is much better.

Looks like another Joke from Indian Govt on Broadband. Will they please stop fooling around and be serious towards growing Broadband demands in India?

 

[Pathik]

Yep... this isnt ever going to be true... knowing the nature of indian politicians...
