well

In mumbai i tried ORANGE and it sucked.. normal GPRS for Rs. 49 / month + 10 paisa for every 10 kb ?? CMON MAN!!!!

dont know about the AGPRS ( surfin from ur PC ) but they are giving for 500/month i guess with a 100 MB limit..

If you are thinking for the broadband speed on gprs then put a finger on your mouth coz it will give you only under 10kBps downloading speed at maximum. Well I think when compared I like airtel for 600/month. with unlimited access.

Airtel GPRS is the best option..GPRS speed also depends on ur phone .These days airtel is giving mobile office to postpaid users for 99/pm for 6 month after 6 months they will charge 300/pm and after that the normal charges of 600/pm

Hey Orange/Hutch still provides GPRS(only for mobile surfin) for only 99bucks a month.The new rate is valid 4m 1st sept.Atleast for Prepaid customers. But Orange SUX really!! Those guys hav blocked all the major Free WAP Sites portals like tagtag.com etc...

well in my area its airtel with the best services although very expensive at rs.900/month unlimited, however quite crappy if you want to upload stuff, even sending e-mail attachments at 100k is tough sometimes

airtel really rocks....but somwat a question mark for me here...im studin in ngp n was using airtel gprs @ Rs. 5/day n here back in jsr itz Rs. 99/month surfing in pc...download speed in jsr around 4-6kbps (dunno abt ngp coz using it in cell)...but still with that rate...surfing at just 99/mnth on unlimited access is just worth it....no idea abt others.
cheers
