It's an improvement yes but nothing to praise about. I would really prefer having ACT Hyderabad's plans atleast. Don't know why that one area get's special treatment.
I am thinking five years ahead mate. I pay ₹980 now for Alliance's 2 mbps plan, and when they say 2 mbps it is 2 mbps, upload speed too. Also from 1 AM to 8 AM it is 5.5 mbps. So you can download your needed files at that time at almost 3x speed than normal. I am just thinking what would BSNL do after say five years. Will there be a chance we could have 4 mbps True Unlimited plan by 2020, somewhere around 1500 per month? That's the only thing interests me. One has to be an utter foolish to go back to BSNL from private broadband. However the 24x7 free calling is something to look for, for my parents at least, its very irritating for me
2 mbps IS SLOW, it doesn't feel slow, it is not might be slow, it IS SLOW, simple as that, this is almost end of 2016. But like I said filthy companies are at least going forward, that's a new, and there are location where private broadband aren't available, so you gotta think about them too.
PS: Forgot to ask, this 1199 plan, what is the exact amount post taxes?
