If you have Airtel BB in your area, than must go Airtel BB. They are best and in my opinion much better than MTNL.

MTNL is going to reduce BB cost by 50%. Hope this is true.

I am poor guy, I am on MTNL BB, and missing my old Airtel BB. Airtel dont have network in my area. :(

I changed my BB plan from Home 799 UL(256KBPS) to Home 99 UL,

Home 999 UL has a bandwidth of 384KBPS, so I must get speeds of 48kbps,

But the speed drops down to as low as 23kbps and torrent speeds are never above 40kbps,

Why is this happening?

All home plans comes with 1:2
Means on a 256Kbps connection, your speed will vary between 128-256 Kbps. Only business plans have 1:1 connection.

Is Airtel really that much better than MTNL? I've not looked at any other company's BB plans since I'm in Mumbai and have MTNL Triband night UL. I thought MTNL was the best in India where bandwidth and cost of broadband is concerned.

My experience with MTNL:
1. Negligible downtime
2. Download and Upload speeds are exactly what they say(D/l upto 2Mbps and U/l minimum 256Kbps and its always at that speed, the upto part never comes into play)
3. Price is a bit more compared to Delhi(i think), so I'm unhappy with that(but the op is in Delhi) but still very much affordable
4. No affordable totally unlimited 2Mbps(or 256Kbps) plans yet but slowly we are getting there...
5. The one time I had to call MTNL customer support to upgrade my plan, they told me it would be done "next Friday" and next Friday it was done.
6. Getting the connection started was the only problem. The problem was they said they have a shortage of routers(I didnt want to buy my own) and I had to wait for 1 month(same waiting time as my friend who bought his router). Compare that to my cousin's wait of over 9 months for BSNL BB, it was nothing :D
7. Never been overbilled.

So a really satisfied user of MTNL Triband here.

Congrats. You'll be able to download more in less time at 2mbps, less power consumption. Once you get the connection you won't regret going for mtnl triband. The initial wait for the connection is boring. But maybe the situation is different there. The rate reduction must be an Independence Day gift. I better check mtnl mumbai page :D
