Yup! i use ortel here in bhubaneswar they provide gud service.
Service is consistent but goes offline if there's power cut in your area - won't work even if your UPS is ON or you're on a lappy.
Actual speeds for 512kbps plan ( as from my experience) :
MIN. - 220-256 kbps
MAX. - 300-350 kbps
AVG. - 400 kbps

hey EG, I'm an user of Ortel Comm..I live in Bhubaneswar. I have an unlimited 512kbps for which I pay 900 bucks per month, which I think is way too expensive as BSNL 512kbps unlimited is only for 750 bucks and if any member in your family is a Central/State Govt. employee then you can get 20% discount!!
But I have some qualms about the connection. I use jdownloader to download. I have noticed that frequently the connection goes off & I've to start the download all over again except for those filehost which provide resume option(like Megaupload, Filesonic, wupload, RS).So my suggestion would be to get BSNL unlimited BB but if for some reasons you can't get BSNL then you might wanna try your luck with Ortel.

I already have an airtel 2m connection.
BSNL has no unlimited plan without FUP, nor does airtel.
The Kolkata office will call me today. Let's see how it turns out.
BTW Cable modem is more expensive than ADSL. 900 bucks is not unusual, but you should call them up to find out if there are cheaper plans.
They have 768k plan at 899. I think you should upgrade.

FUP is fair use policy.
They cut down speeds.
Those ortel people wre supposed to call, but they didn't.
I will call them today after coming back from school.

Oh!!so they reduce your speed after you have downloaded a certain amount, is that right??
BSNL does have those kinda plans..I think its called 500 or 550 something. But what I was talking about was unlimited(no "FUP" or anything like that)..purely unlimited!!
I still have the paper of those plans...512kbps for 750(+tax) bucks!!Even my friend has the same plan that he uses. I so wanted that plan but I had no official documents to give

Correct
512k is the minimum for broadband according to TRAI atm, so that plan has to be FUP free to qualify as a broadband plan.
For me 512k is a crawl. I need at least 1m to manage, as I am used to 2m.

Updated this year by TRAI
Update:
Called them up right now: Found out the unlimited plans in Kolkata-
Rs.560 256k
Rs.673 512k
Rs.1122 1m
Much cheaper than the Rs.750 for the 512k plan
