Which Internet connection?

[Renny]

Hi,

I need a Wireless Internet connection, please give me detailes of all ISPs who offer wireless connections with their plans and tariffs,

And for a wired connection is haveing a Landline a must?

The connection must be Unlimited(or atleaset during night-time).

Well, i hv a MTNL (mumbai) Triband BB (BB=broadband) connection (plan: Triband Unlimited 256 Kbps) and the connection is wired with a MTNL Base telephone..and a D-Link Router (model: DSL 502T)

I am paying Rs. 999 p/m for this connection, the d/loads are Unlimited (be it day or night time).. so i use this whole day for my t0r*ent$..
------------

Other ppl will post their plans soon ... as and wen the see this thread..
------------

Btw, the performance of ISPs differ from area-to-area... so ther will be a best ISP varying from area-to-area.. hope u got my point..

i live in Goregaon-East (much nearer to MTNL exchange) so i get gr8 speeds on my connection...

Cheers n e-peace....

Go for BSNL or MTNL. They both are good in their own ways. Check in your locality which one gives better service.

Thanks for your suggestions,

@ashu888ashu888

You said you get good speeds since you are near the exchange, you're talking about EVDO right?

And I prefer only a wireless connection, how is BSNL EVDO? I live some 1KM from the tower, so will I get good speeds?

Any other wireless service provided by other ISPs.

^ Reliance too has launched its 3.1 mbps EVDO.

naa, not EVDO Rahul..

it's not available everywhere. You have to enquire in BSNL Office. It's like Airtel/Reliance Wireless Connection through CDMA. But speed is 2.4Mbps.

And you can use it anywhere provided there are towers. If EVDO Towers aren't there then you will get lower speeds...

I am on wired 256 Kbps Unltd connection from MTNL , but i dnt knw wat goof up they hv done that i get speeds upto an insanely 192kBps (for games i get a constant 70KBps and for movies, 192KBps)..

Note: yup, wen i mean 192KBps its really is KiloBYTES (n not kilo bits).. so plz note this..

I stay in Santa Cruz-E, MTNL is the best, zero downtime till date (Touch-Wood!). I have 5GB plan @ 2MBPS @ Rs. 799. Speed is awesome and 5 GB free download exceeds my requirement.

[ravi_9793]

you should try Reliance 3.1 mbps EVDO. Good attractive price.

Nope. Thats not a good option. He wants UL and they have a cap of 10gb.

 

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

Yeah right...

 

[thewisecrab]

I have the 849NU plan of MTNL
1.25 GB cap during day, unlimited at night. (speeds upto 2mbps)
I get roughly about 150/160 KBps, sometimes till 210 KBps if the source is good (Filehippo mirrors or many online seeds while torrenting for example)
And yeah, you need a landline for applying for Triband

 

[ashu888ashu888]

^^

yup, i had tat plan till feb 09, but then applied for TriB Unltd 256 kbps plan..and since 2nd march 09' im on that plan ever since..

My sole reason was UL d/loads be it day or night..
