Shifted to a new place, Dwarka, New Delhi. Unfortunately, Airtel has informed me that they can't shift my airtel broadband connection due to feasibility issues :sad: Have never opted for anything other than Airtel broadband ever.

Need advise on which broadband would be good enough for BF3 MP gaming. MTNL is available here but I doubt if it would give good pings, customer care would be worst I know. Guys, please help. I would opt for upto 30gb connection @ 2mbps as I use youtube/torrent quite a lot.

Try to see if you can get SpectraNEt there . Its cheaper compared to others and offers decent latency.

Dude mtnl is best when it come to online gaming , I myself with several of the friend gets the lowest pings among others . When there were indian server we used to get ping around 20 which was lowest i heard that people got in india . Trust me , you wont have issue with mtnl but better check the service in your area by enquiring .

Thanks a lot dear. MTNL is available and many people in my society are using it - though I was worried about their service in case it goes down.

How is their FTTH service? MTNL FTH-1290 seems like an awesome pack. 10 Mbps upto 40GB download, 512 Kbps afterward. Fixed Monthly service charges (Rs): 1290

What is the catch? There is another pack at same rate for normal broadband but with 2mbps @ 35 gb download limit.

MTNL pings are better than Airtel from what I have seen. I lived in Delhi.

Hail MTNL. Customer care is not half as bad as Airtel. All my complaints were resolved soon enough. Airtel servicemen don't even know about DNS. Neither do MTNL guys but at least they don't claim to have good service.

airtel's service is not that good.i once had a nightmare with their service.i had cut off me connection,and when i wanted to reconnect it took 2 months.
and their plans are just ridiculous.i can't understand why they don't offer 1mbps or 512 kbps plans.worst is their post fup speed,256 kbps. atleast give minimun speed of 512 kbps,mtnl does that.i also live in dwarka,and although i have an airtel connection,i am planning to have an mtnl connection in the near future.sure their service response isn't as good as we'd like it to be,but it's not like your connection's down every week or so.all all in all,mtnl is a better option.i have been ranting a lot,so please spare me.:razz:

MTNL is good. True unlimited. Good pings. I used to adore MTNL....... until I received new Bill. My plan is Triband Combo plan, 512 kbps Unlimited.

Past bills:

It seems they have increased price of 512 Kbps, since according to my friend who has 1Mbps plan, there is no change in bill. :|
