Guys help me. I am thinking of choosing the 800 ULD plan from BSNL . Is it wise to go with BSNL ? I live in Chennai.... Airtel seems too costly...

No, for the bold part.
Reason: AirTel is available in your area.
After seeing a 12-page, 1.5 months long rant against BSNL thread, do you still think worth going with it?
Its more of a hit and miss case, if it works as advertised, it is great, otherwise it is equivalent of being in hell.
OT : I thought MTNL is for metro cities. You don't have MTNL in Chennai?

Metro Cities according to MTNL = Mumbai & Delhi(Kolkata and Chennai are Small towns i guess

Same here,
Still Troubled with BSNL- its like 22 days since the cable cut happened and still they are mending?
God Knows what I will do. I dont have Airtel Available in my area , not even MeghBala , Only Reliance and Siticable.
Reliance Pings are very bad ,On SITI cable dont have any idea....

+1 a wise user once said - "jab yeh chalta hai to isse achchha kuchh nahin hai." (when it works nothing like it) and i immediately asked - "JAB" and he said - YES

Well you can do two things- switch to another ISP, which is not a very good idea or an option for both you and me, OR stick with BS-NL. If you already haven't done, call your local exchange and ask the number of the head of the BB guy (generally a 55+ dude!), and call him if net is slow. Call him every 2 or 3 day. At least I did that and now I see that my prolonged problem is solved!
Btw guys that selfcare site of theirs, I need the BB User Id, can't make new one, and there is none available, should I call CC and ask for it? And what is Portal Id? I would like to see my usage, just for fun though.

Ok guys, Airtel Seems a bit costly. The unlimited plans start at 1k which is not affordable. Is there any other plan in Airtel which offers unlimited at max 0.7k to 0.8K. I dont care abt speeds . But speeds should be atleast 512 kbps.
Yes, but probably they will make you go to the BSNL office to get it from there.
I don't think BSNL still uses Portal ID to track usage, only selfcare website is the way to go AFAIK. Another thing, their usage stats are "usually" erroneous during the start of the month. Another thing it updates only after a day.

Huhh...I'm Xairtel user AFAIK there is no UL plans
Use NetWorx to track usage! You want to find out your usage from "BSNL portal"? You want to find out your ID from BSNL CC? You are not satisfied with the amount of frustration they have happily given you til now?
Check the registration letter when you first got your BB - that should have portal ID and BB User ID, and they also send a text on first connection with these details - although I doubt you would still have that text!

for me ,speed was slow for 2-3 days when i heard news of cable cut happened .now it is normal after that except link failure due to frequent storm,rain .moreover i am getting speed of 200 kB/s from 20th april till now even-though i am way over 6GB fup.

last day ping was better than today i-e 131 ms.
someday when i get slow browsing speed ,i check dns with dns benchmark and switchover to fastest one.
one question my modem is the black utstar one (first modem that bsnl used to give).
it shows *snag.gy/GanMo.jpg in homepage.is 2048kbps speed it show is the maximum speed the modem supports.if i want to take plans of above 2mbps ,do i have to change modem?
