Re: Broadband options at Cennai

Hi I am currently using data1... I think it would be a better option... No problem with that for me...

Problem arises wen u approach BSNL Office...
Once u get Data1 BB i think there will be no problem...

Re: Broadband options at Cennai

These days BB connections come with a phone line. So depending on what you ask for . I use BSNL in Chennai since I had BSNL telephone line . I have had no major problem since last 1-2 yrs. Though some minor line problems have come and gone... Consider the fact that BSNL still has the best infrastructure and most other telecom companies depend on it.. So even if you opt for a pvt connection, it will be practically dependent on BSNL's infrastructure..
Go for BSNL.
Good luck.

Re: Broadband options at Cennai

yesterday's Newspaper I saw Tata Indicom Ad for 2Mbps BB connection... with Zero Deposit n zero modem rental.. I dont know abt it but look at it..

My frnd is using airtel no problem with it. BSNL rocks in chennai.. In my area (Porur) if problem comes they r coming in next working day, but wont rectify it...

Nishanth..I was a loyal Airtel User..
But as of now Airtel really sucks..
BSNL/MTNL from the point when they launched their 2mbps connexion are soaring.. and believe me my friends do get arnd 250 kbps speeds.
I don't see Airtel coming close to BSNL in the next few months.
I, myself , am planning to shift to BSNL :(
But, note this, BSNL would take atleast 1 month to process your Broadband request! Be prepared :D

Airtel is good...i am downloading loads of GB in my airtel connection and it works real fast. Keep in mind that if you are the only one to use airtel connection in your flats or apartment, the connection is really fast. what's more, they also offer free downloads with zero charges from 9pm to 8am.
