Hi Guys I am from Guwahati too. In search of a good broadband provider here.

According to me Rajdhani Broadband is very fast in Guwahati coz I have visited many cyber cafe with Rajdhani BB and the speed is mind blowing (5Mbps+ minimum and maximum around 9.5 mbps).
But it is very costly.

Sify is also good you have to be happy with 512kbps.
BSNL is also good but who wants to take a landline when other providers are providing BB without it?

Can anyone tell me if Reliance Thunder BB is available in Guwahati? The plans are very cheap and if it is available here then I will definitely take Reliance.

What are the plans for Rajdhani?

Well I have at least 200GB of games to download from Steam; which isn't piracy :D.

I don't consider BSNL a service anymore. They're too ignorant to even keep long time customers who have been with them for well over a decade.

[MENTION=139494]powerhoney[/MENTION] The wired internet scene is even worse now. BSNL insisting we move to WiMax rather than fix lines where they've been damaged. Been using for 2 months now and it's actually pretty good(although bandwidth still is very less)

Here is a Speedtest:

No other major ISP here worth getting in a budget. Waiting for Airtel BB and any other private ISP to start service here.

I have been with BSNL in Guwahati for about 10 years now... :p Since I was around Class 4 or 5!!!

I have been using the ULD 750 or something plan of theirs and it gives me decent speed...

*www.speedtest.net/result/3636295967.png

But, I would have liked a better connection as my current one only allows me to download about 150 to 200 GB per month...

So, any idea about the other ISPs???

My neighbour used to use JAVA Broadband or something which provided him with around 1.5-2.0 MB/sec (i.e., 180 to 240 kB/sec. downlink) but they are highly susceptible to downtime...

I haven't faced any serious issues with BSNL in my 10 years (lucky me!!! :mrgreen:) but would like to know if the other providers like Amtron, etc have improved their service!!! :-D

[MENTION=139494]powerhoney[/MENTION] I'd say avoid that ISP. One interesting thing you may have noticed my ping to the Delhi server is actually better than yours!

Okay... Actually, I need the internet for just the two-three months I am away from the excellent net speed back at my NIT... :)

I looked at Amtron plan tariffs yesterday and they were humongous... Who in their right mind would subscribe to them!!! :-@

About my ping, that was actually a one-off... I usually have my pings around the low 90s to the high 100s... :)

And, about my speed being 1 MBps, it should actually be 512 kBps after the 6 or 8 GB initial high speed but since the engineers here are a little behind the times, I have been lucky since the last three-odd years but, hey, I ain't complaining... :p

Which plan??? Link me... :)

----------------------------------------------

Never mind, got it...

That has 2 Mbps beyond FUP which is 30 GB... Worst plan!!! :-(

My neighbor gets 2 Mbps constant without FUP at Rs. 650 odd from that JAVA telecom or something!!!

Will check with those JAVA people if I can get a more stable connection from them for my home... :)
