Or you may purchase a Wi-Fi modem from D-Link(you may have to wait for long period to obtain a Type-II modem from BSNL because of their poor supply; this is my personal experience).

Please visit your nearby hardware store to enquire about the current price of D-Link modem.
In your DataOne application form there was an option whether you arrange for your own modem or it will be supplied by BSNL. If you opted for the first one then there is no problem. Otherwise contact with BSNL before purchasing D-Link.

hi,
can anyone make it clear for me, if i buy dlink wifi modem, can i be able to access internet to my laptops at home(ie abt 300mtr radius,indoor)..is it needed to add any other component for it??

BSNL offers a DSL connection. Along with the connection you'll get a DSL mode/splitter. The access should be Ethernet. For mobility access you can connect this Ethernet output to a WiFi router. A NetGear one shoud cost you abt Rs 2500. Without much obstruction you ought to get decent range of 200+ metres.

On another note see if your area has the Airtel DSL connection. It's pretty cheap and fast too.
