I am using ACT fiber since many years now. Approximately 1100 per month at speeds of 400mbps. Very minimal downtime in all these years now. Happy with their services till now!!!

[rijo_tj]

Jio Fiber 100 mbps connection at home for which i am paying Rs 699 +Tax. Works smoothly for all our uses cases at home and never had any connection issues.

Fingers Crossed.

@Jio Fiber users,
Having broadband with Jio means, we HAVE to use their modem ONLY, right?
I tried it few years ago, but the range was pathetic.

I'm using an Archer C6 with Act fibernet right now (Rs.826 for 100MBPS). Was evaluating Jio since it has OTT and internet plans for similar prices.

I can use my existing modem as range extender, but is the Jio modem good enough to throw enough internet packets atleast 5m for a range extender to pick and distribute them?

[Rajat347]

Airtel 40 MBPS at 588Rs in Pune including GST and excluding any OTT.
i am very happy with my setup so far.

[Rishu]

We have Airtel Broadband Connection.
Amount: ₹531/- per month
we mostly recharge it for 6 months which cost ₹2825/- (savings of 361)
The plan has 50Mbps speed with Daily Unlimited.

One of the few thing I miss living abroad is cheap internet & telephony. I used to pay 650/month for a 1Gb/s optic fiber connection while I was in India. Adding the phone bills my expenses never crossed 1200 per month that's including mine and spouse's mobile bill. (I don't watch TV channels, & haven't had a TV box in last 8 years).

Now I pay AED 429 for home internet (1Gb/s clubbed with a TV box which I never opened & a landline phone which we use sometimes to call local landline numbers)
For office I pay 314 AED FOR A 250 Mb/s 5G wireless internet.
For mobile, I pay 314 per connection. (500 mins and 13 GB data). I have two connection, 1 for me and one for wife. Plus a 50 AED recharge for my kid. So total is 678 AED.

AED 1421 😭 , if converted to INR, it will be around 33500/- at today's conversion rate.

I am using BSNL FTTH since sep 2020 and I pay ₹943 (799 + 18% GST) monthly for 125 Mbps speed and usage limit of 3300 GB per month and also get free Disney Hotstar and YuppTV free subscription along with the connection.

I am happy with the internet speed and service.

Zero (Prior to my retirement 2 years back, my company where I work paid the internet bill and now I don't actually need the wired connection anymore). We are only 3 persons in house and all are senior citizens. We have almost unlimited data with the Airtel (my wife’s phone), Vodafone (mine) and my mother-in law (Jio). We have dish TV with Airtel with some exclusive Telugu channels which are being addictive due to the TV serials spanning decades etc. We have so much of unused data on phone that we never found a need for a wired internet service provider. We use hotspot to watch Amazon prime on TV and it is seamless with 5G speeds. One cannot find any difference from a wired connection.

When my son came from USA and he is shocked that we don't have wired connection. I had to tell him that I was part of an ERP implementation team early 2000 to a company in Bombay called Hughes networks. In those days, they were investing a huge multibillion dollar capex in India and they wanted an ERP to monitor their assets. The Bombay city has been divided into grids and fiber networks is being laid for the first time. This is the starting point for us to get access to high speed internet in India. I had seen it all. My son immediately responded if I know that there were only 2 places on this planet which is White House and his university CS department which had 1 GBPS internet speed and that was a news couple of decades back. Now in India, 1 GBPS and more is common across all cities and is taken for granted now.

When I look back and see how we have come from ISP providers giving KBPS to GBPS for a reasonable amount of money, it is a huge leap in technology. But I am from old school and still have dish TV and never satisfied with TV through internet.

[DetectiveMiles]

In my native village I pay 471/month for 50 mbps unlimited wired connection from Deenet and in Bengaluru I pay 565/month for 50 mbps/750G from ACT Fibernet. There are barely any outages with both!

[shyampsunder]

Given how critical Internet has become in our work and personal lives, I have made significant investments in it.

Primary line: ACT Fibernet at 400 MBPS costing me Rs 8390 for 7 months. Works out to ~1200 rupees per month. This line is hooked up to a Google nest WiFi in a two node mesh system.

Secondary line: Jio Fibernet at 30 MBPS costing me Rs 700 per month. Strictly used as backup. Would've used it only for a day or two in the last 6 months but has been a life saver when the primary line goes down.

Mobile network is non existent in this part of Bangalore, so can't rely on mobile hot-spot as a backup option.

For the city of Guwahati -

BSNL fiber - 150 mbps - 999+gst for 30 days.
The speeds are extremely good. It's always 140+ mbps.

Router fees 3000 non refundable.

I have no other option than BSNL in my society. If not this, I have to go with local providers who offer 1TB data at 40mbps at 5999 + gst. No. Of days not specific.

For the city of Pune -

Airtel fiber - 200 mbps - 799 + gst for 30 days
Got it at an ongoing offer where they were offering both 100 and 200 mbps at the same price.

Again, speeds are extremely stable and router fee was waived off if I pay 3 month bill at the time of purchasing.

JioFibre 100mbps plan for ₹699+taxes. Has worked flawlessly since as long as I can remember.

You can easily add a wired access point.

I have 4 TP-Link Deco Mesh routers. They're configured to work in access point mode. They're connected to the JioRouter directly via ethernet. It was a simple plug and play set-up.

Was a loyal Airtel user until a year and a half back - wherein frequent downtimes and billing issues became regular - and I decided to let them go.

Switched to Tata Fibre - an impulsive decision - one that was excellent. Way more than promised speeds. No blocks. No throttling. I was very, very happy with them.

I then switched cities - to Gurgaon. My place had an existing Airtel connection. Decent speeds. But then, arbitrary blocks, throttling and no VPN permissions annoyed me aplenty. The nail on the coffin was when they randomly set their NAT type to Strict and my gaming console would take ages to matchmake.

Got rid of Airtel, humoured a friend's suggestion that Jio AirFiber is good. Tried that for 2 months. They made Airtel look like Business Class. Pathetic ping and customer service. Somehow got rid of them. Their technical team literally refused to collect the external receiver stating that I can do whatever I want with it. I guess I'll mention it somewhere in my will.

Fatigued, checked with Tata Fibre if they serviced my area. No. Last resort mode - I switched to a local provider. Not very well known - because hey, we all know how SEO works. But these folks have been stupendous. Had just one downtime from them which was resolved within an hour of me raising a complaint. No throttling, no blockers, VPN friendly, NAT type is open and the best part - I pay around 30% lesser than what I would pay Airtel for the same speed.

Airtel/Jio - never again. Nope, they are not what they used to be.

We had negotiated 1.5 Lac per year for a leased line connection since 2010. It's still going strong. Contract renegotiated to accomodate higher speed of 30 mbps. The rate I get is cheap considering leased line is directly from the ISP's network switching office.

It is for business primarily. IP is static, and supports web hosting.

Leased line is not a normal connection. It is direct, your personal connection directly. Like water connected from the source (river) to your home, unadulterated.

The ones used at homes is usually NAT forwarded, and shared with multiple users. So outages and latency is common. But leased line has a strict 99.99% uptime and quality SLA. Benefit is that you can penalise the operator by a huge amount at court, like Rs. 10,000 per minute of outage or more if you lose business due to their inefficiency. For home network, there is no such quality agreement so operators often apply shady cost saving tactics.

I've been using Hathway broadband for several years now, and I have to say, my experience has been quite positive. This year, I opted for their 12-month plan, which cost me ₹3599 for a 50MBPS fiber connection.
