Belkin's N entry level router costs around 2K. Check in Chroma.

Regarding ISP, I do not think anyone can beat BSNL (atleast in Bangalore). I am using it since 4 years. :: ACT Television :: is providing FTH (fiber), check that out too. Although I am not sure about quality and all.

Airtel is the only reliable private broadband provider. If not Airtel, check BSNL. For wireless router, check models from Linksys and Netgear and this is the road to go to for purchase:

BSNL has no FUP, thats better than airtel anyday.
