Would recommend checking out
India Broadband Forum before you decide to switch ISPs. All these new ISPs might give you amazing offers at low prices, but most of them are not worth it. Ask around there and you'll get a better picture.

Ya right. So what kind of movies do you download cyrus..??? Stop downloading so much P and you will be ok with the speeds you get. Other option is to buy cds from the station.
I have the 500kpbs at 3000p.m 2.5gb P.m and 12AM to 7am free.

That's a total rip off!! Check out BSNL Chennai Plans below!
@ Danalan - I pay only Rs.500+tax for a plan similar to yours and I get speeds like 2000Kbps consistently. What is MTNL smoking?

we're talking mumbai here guys, lets not veer from the topic.
cyrus, have you found the ISP you need? reliance wimax reviews were very crappy online, but i have it since weeks and im one happy bugger. eevn with the fibre cut, its functioning at 75% of the speed its supposed to work at.

Sorry for going off-topic buddy. I wanted to let ppl know that the price diff is just too much between the 2 cities.
Guys, i am gonna find out about Reliance Wimax tomorrow as per what frank told me!! But, i am still on the lookout for super quick speeds and unlimited downloads! So if anyone knows anyone giving a cablenet package, please let me know!
Checkout Pacenet and Exattnet both wellknown in Mumbai Cablenet and have good offers currently.
Heard good things about Exatt. I use Pacenet myself and am quite happy with it. (256k unlimited at around 1300). Last time I asked, my cablewala was offering me 512k unlimited for around 1700.
But the thing with this cablenet is that a lot depends on your cablewala too. I'm lucky to have one who's really good and is actually interested in keeping his customers happy, and will compromise from his side if need be. Not everyone is always that lucky.
Hey Guys - Can someone tell me if BSNL EVDO is available in Bombay? I need to get a broadband connection and BSNL has a very competitive offering: Unlimted EVDO for Rs.550 per month in some other cities.
While the Maharastra website confirms the same, I cannot find any sellers of the service in mumbai.
Any leads on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vcash
I don't think BSNL operates in Mumbai city area.
I'm installing the Airtel 2mbps broadband connection. Will report back the results soon.

I am on the same plan. Used to give download speeds of 225 kbps for the first 2-3 weeks. Now down to 25-30 kbps:deadhorse
Heard about this cablenet service 5net or something. B&T highly recommends it.
So I got the airtel connection up and running. It's a 2mpbs dedicated broadband connection with 15gb limit per month for 1199
Speedtest.net results returned download speed of 2.20mbs and upload of 0.60mbps. Is this large variation btwn upload and download speed normal?

I know we've crossed paths on your other thread, but i just wanted to clarify again that you
are actually getting what you paid for. 256kbps ~= 25KB/s.

Yes. That's why its called A-DSL (A = Asymmetric).
Given the (current) nature of the internet a majority of the data is going TOWARDS your computer. Only requests, and smaller amounts of data are sent away from your computer. Hence the ADSL (or any plan with a slower upload and faster download) are common, and you barely feel the pinch in typical browsing / home usage.
If you want the same speed both ways (1:1) it ends up being a lot more expensive!
