Internet connection suggestion (not counting BSNL/MTNL/Airtel)

[Piyush]

I need suggestions for a new connection.As i already mentioned above that I wont be going for BSNL/MTNL/Airtel.

I would be thankful if you can post the links of tariffs of different service providers like hathway/tikona/etc....

thanks

A lot depends on the availability of suppliers in your area and the slots available with those suppliers. Do make a note of your options and then choose between the ones available.

Eg: Railwire, one of the cheapest tariffs in India. Available in bangalore. In my area whitefield but their connections stopped right next to my apartment. I then went ahead and made a note of all connections available and decided.
In my friends case, Airtel was available but the slots were full. Again it would have been a waste researching on it.

but the problem is I don't know where to start from

Would suggest MTNL/BSNL. Rest all are FUP'ed.

I think except the 750 plan all other higher BB Plans available with BSNL have FUP.

So there are other countries apart from US where they don't have anything called FUP?

Why the heck is it being followed in India? I think I read somewhere about a PIL being raised on this.

Not sure if you have a "YOU" broadband there, but I am using their 2mbps unlimited(no FUP) plan which comes at 999 p/m here in Bangalore, and till now the service have been just awesome, same goes for customer support.

FUP plainly sucks.
I do think There is a plan from Reliance (Night Based) 1Mbps day/ 2Mbps (10PM to 8AM)..That is probably their only non FUP plan. (I'am not sure..maybe there was a small * conditions apply i missed)

Fully Unlimited No FUP.
@1499 pm.

CC sucks.

 

[Piyush]

how about hathway/tikona?
anyone?

though I can't run from FUPs plans( coz almost all plans implies this garbage policy)

 

[aniket.cain]

There is another plan.
Check this: LINK
1mbps unlimited, no FUP for Rs. 999. This would be the best plan imho.

 

[Piyush]

hmmm....its really a good one
but i'd be satisfied with 512 kbps UL as 1000/ pm is pretty hard for me

 

[xtremevicky]

Try local cable operators and look for there plans ! I am on one of them !
