yes.

Same has been the case with MTNL for quite few years.

price war started in 3g, hopes don't end with capped speed . :-(

airtel & vodafone still ~ 250
hope they will also reduce

What change, no change at all. Just the 1 GB plan is modified to 30 days from 7 days and 25 rupees have been decreased. No changes at all. I even compared the RCOM plan, not much changes also there, just the low usage plans only. 1GB is nothing.
see this for BSNL

Good..time to port for airtel to bsnl

Useless because BSNL 3G or 2G recharge, most of the time they never work because of poor network quality. Even retailer refrain from doing such charges as later ill-informed users blame them for not doing proper recharge or not informing about issues with such plan. (I have BSNL number and planning to port to some other network).

Nice they have reduced their 3G pricing, now if only BSNL 3G would've worked properly here

that totally depends on your locality. I used BSNL 3G for 6 months, when they had the "Rs 700/per-month unlimited 3G" promotion .....it was blazing fast and always good signal, this being ~10km from the city.

Aircel already cheaper from long ago than BSNL,Reliance etc.

Great First Reliance, Airtel din't care,Now bsnl,Airtel will reduce now

Aircel was cheaper..... Not anymore. Moreover aircel has 3G of 3.6MBPS bandwidth, so download speed of 300-400KBps, whereas Airtel n others have 21MBps. I got download speeds of 700KBps in Airtel in Galaxy Y(supports only 7.2MBps)

Those truly unlimited plans were just for promotion. They won't see the limelight again.

Yes. Though BSNL is everywhere but always its signals/connectivity obey to its acronym (BSNL-->>Bhai Sahab Nahi Lagega).

In US, 3G is considered slower :-D

^Forget U.S. this is India...nothing comparable in the world of Tech.
