Anyone using EDGE service(on PC/notebook) in Delhi, please tell about the charges and quality of their service? What are the charges for unlimited use plan? Their site says it's for Rs. 500pm on postpaid and Rs. 20/day on prepaid. Are there any downloading charges as well on prepaid(Site says 10p/GB)?
Is EDGE available in whole Delhi?
And how much is the speed?

It must be 10p/KB and not GB :) Here in Mumbai, Idea provides more than decent Edge services (could be because of relatively lower subscriber-base). Also, 500 per month unlimited is a freaking awesome plan. Here in Mumbai, it costs 849 pm. I am on Net199 plan which offers 256 MB per month for 199 Rs.

^^It's 10p/GB. There CC(email) said it's 50p/100MB. Don't forget that you have to pay Rs.20/day as well in that plan. So no change of 10p/KB.
There website says its for Rs,500 pm, but I need a confirmation.
How much speed do you get?

No connection drops experienced yet! Never tested the connection speed in off-peek hours..But it feels relatively faster late in the night!
