Hi all, :-o

I want to buy a broadband internet plan (unlimited) though i have tata photon+
but the tariff is expensive :twisted: so wanna switch to other....

I have opted for Airtel Impatience Plan of Rs1299 per month (2mbps upto 25GB & 256kbps after 25GB) & also Rs 1399 per month(4mbps upto 40GB then 256kbps after 40GB)

so only rs100 difference....should i go for this 1399plan or do u recommend something else.....

The purpose of internet will be the purpose of a net geek(movies,games etc)

If you want to go with unlimited download plan, then in my opinion it should truly be unlimited (without that speed drop). I would suggest you to go with BSNL's BB Home UL 750...

i personally download 65GB+(DL only) on the UL750 plan per month
The Airtel one you said has a FUP of 40gb(DL+UL)
so if you use P2P you can download at max 20-30GB without attracting infractions
so i guess the BSNL one looks more attractive to me

yeah...moreover 256kbps is not truly a broadband speed...you may feel cheated after a while spending on that speed..

if you want to with Airtel also, they will install a device first...there is no choice. I have kept it aside as there is no use for a landline nowadays (generally)...

go to bsnl.co.in...on the right hand side of the page, you will find a link "Broadband Best Plan Selector" below new year greetings from CMD...it shud take you to BB Plan Selector

Here clear/delete values in Monthly Budget and Usage fields...then you will get all the unlimited plans. BSNL has also rolled out FUP plans just like Airtel...but this one in row 3 will give you continuous speed of 512kbps :)
You will get download speed of 60kBps with torrents/download manager.

^^^^
wow that's a bit too much!!
theoretically one can DL about 4gb at max per day(speeds of 55KBps)
considering i run my pc uninterrupted for 20 hrs

so it comes to 120gb max DL per month (theoretically)
200gb max usage(ul+dl)
is 150gb inclusive of uploads too?

But they charge rental also for the device....:?
hmm? Buy the device then? If you have an ADSL modem, don't buy it from them? Every ISP charges if you take the device on rental.

I have MTNL 1mbps UL. No device rental for me as I have my own Wifi router.

but i guess BSNL is not good for online gaming due to its high ping on european servers. gamers mostly prefer Airtel...

couple of days back suddenly i started getting 500 ping on uk servers but now its back to normal to 200 :)

I don't say airtel is best but this is one big advantage being on airtel for online gaming.
