cheap unlimited broadband

hello friends can u plz seuggest me a cheap unlimited broadband connection.my max budget for that is 500/- only.look I need it just for surfing nothing more and in case of BSNL I have to purchase modem too which set me back by another 1200/- but I have to use net for nearly 8-10 months ..
Also I got to know about the connect unlimited plan for 444/- only ..and are there another schemes as well..please give ur opinion..

If you have Airtel BB in your area... than go for it.
Airtel BB has some plan under Rs. 500/- with 64 kbps speed+ UL bandwidth+ rental free landline.

BSNL DATAONE Baodband 256kbps unlimited plan is nor only 500 /-
go for it !!!

you dont need to buy a modem...just get it on rent ! plus in calcutta they are giving modem free of cost for new connection.so dont worry

and dont call airtel 64 kbps a broadband !

S

+1............

Airtel is a total gross. Don't go for Airtel.

But he doesn't want to spend more than Rs. 500

arre yaar...then no company is gonna work for him !!
Airtel..Reliance..you just name a company..all of them have pretty big installation charge + Modem cost + activation and plan charges accordingly !!!

There is no way he is going to have a broadband up and running in less than 500 rupees other than BSNL

Well if cable internet is present there then it might be an option for him. In my place local cablewala offer unlimited internet @144kbps @ rs 333/- month. But to get that he charges 1500 as CPE cost + rs 1000 installation !

the story is more or less same everywhere

hello friends today I visited "connect" office and they are giving a plan of 444/- only +12% service tax for unlimited BB ...
and only one time charges of 562/- as activation charges.
thats it!!!
plus they are giving you modem and landline phone free of cost including 50 calls free and 2000mins connect to connect and the speed will be @300kbps.
so anyone having such connection please suggest...
this plan is in Ludhiana(Punjab)

^^ Connect has recently launched this plan and i have gone for it too

IT is yet to be installed at my place.

Cant leave feedback but this thread will surely help you

Think twice before you post junk like this. No offence, but IMO, Airtel is the best ISP in India when it comes to service/customer care. It has some awesome plans and schemes too. Though its a little costly, the price is justified. I am stuck with BSNL connection because there is no AirTel connection available here.

no........ as far as service and customer care goes..Airtel indeed is the best in this country ! But its a bit costly..thats it.If you can bear the cost then its the way to go !

so sukhdeep j tere ghare connection lag jaave tan dassi ke hisab hai connect da

And a friend of mine is using CONNECT connection of 666 plan and he's getting dwn speed of around 40KBps

Iam using youtelecom BB connection and it is 570 including the taxes for 96 kbps and its unlimited

but is youtelecom available in punjab too? neway amount is more for such a low speed.
isn't it?

check out for CONNECT they are providing BB @444+12% tax for a speed of 300Kbps ~=30-40KBps downloading speed.

^That seems good.

One thing to consider here is the use of the internet. BSNL may give unlimited broadband, but their reliability is low. Its useful if you want to do browsing, download lots of small stuff like songs, software, etc, but for gaming you need to be looking at an ISP with a low ping.

I never used UL750, but I am happy with H500 because it lets me browse comfortably at day and download 4GB every night by using some tricks to bypass BSNL's throttling, though its useless on torrents and hence I avoid torrents unless they have 10 times the speed I can download at. BSNL pings suck, but they too improve by day to enable casual gaming.

comment: 1000 rupees as installation charges ? can't you just plug in the device and configure it yourself ?

In airtel the IP cannot be changed until the modem is reset. But in BSNL you can change the IP by using Automatic reconnecting software, which is best while downloading from rapidshare. No waiting times between downloads.

You thread title is utopian, at least as of now in India.

You can change IP by disconnectiong and connection again

You can, you have to make a Dialup connection with your USer ID and password.

Go to 192.168.1.1

but the problem is...i can download same amount of data in 3 hours with my bsnl what will take 24 hours with your connection and that too at less price ! I download around 4GB data every night with auto router reconnect configured !

Well here we need to give the usage pattern a look !
If somebody need raw download speed...downloads a lot of data everyday..then BSNL Home500c is the way to go (Day limit 1.5gb , night unlimited . phone rental free + 175 free calls ). But if somebody doesnt need that raw speed but want a all day on connection for lan gaming or voice chat or comfortable browsing then either go for 500UL or some other connection.

Right buddy...But I want unlimited download for all day and night. Does 500UL give me 2 Mbps @ day and night?

H500C sucks. I had the normal H500 and it used to gimme 2.5gb day limit and Night UL

. Dunno about the other stuff coz I am on 111/- plan for my landline (its a Gujarat exclusive plan where you have to pay 111 PM and then you can make as many calls as you want free of charge.). But the 2.5gb of limit was a bottleneck for me so I moved to H1000 with 5gb limit and Night UL but that wasnt sufficient too! Now I am on H750UL but its speed sucks so I am thinking to either move H1350UL or H1800.

You guys are really lucky. First, rajasthan has this 150rs plan for mobiles with unlimited calls. Now, BSNL has this gujrat plan for 111rs for landlines with unlimited calls.

WHY DOESN'T BANGALORE HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT ?

Hey guys AirTel has this awesome plan :- *www.airtel.in/applications/xm/ForYou_Tarrifs_Broadband.jsp?ID=583&CIRCLE=10 ... can anyone tell me if it has Night UL. Coz 4mbps

shock

for 1299/- with 4GB limit and Night UL is a dream come true in India. If it has Night UL, I am going for it as AirTel is now available here ... hooray!

There must be some hidden cost. because nothing can be much cheaper then bSnl.
bsnl is providing a UL plan at about 1350 + higher speed then their normal ones. check them before.

^^I have used BSNL H500, H1000 and currently using H750UL. UL sux. Dad went today and filled the app. Got my plan changed to H1000 again !!. The H1000 plan will be on from 1st

comp@addict are you a online gamer if not then what will you do with your 8gb .

^^YouTube videos... audio streaming... heavy surfing... legal downloads.... file hosting.. many things!

legal

hmm

(COUGHS)

Dont buy BSNL ! Personal experience. Stable for a week then problems for 2 weeks and again stable for a week and keeps going on.

10 rs ki DVD ke liye 1300, kuch jyada hi mehnga hai.
it depends upon how you use your net. For legal downloading

Did I mention, game demos, patches, free software, Linux distros, etc...

Almost all big distros today are 700MB and the DVD installers are 4GB or more.

last evening I used airtel datacard borrowed from my friend..
It cost him around 3000/- and a monthly rental of 300/-for UL..and connection speed of 236Kbps...I dnt think its fare at this price so better go for CONNECT .isn't it..

T

^^Unlimited use for just Rs.300 pm? It's great. In Delhi, it costs Rs. 999pm

absolutely dear here in ludhiana(punjab) bsnl also provide the same service at 250/-per month for UL...all u need to do is to purchase a datacard worth 2800/- and a speed of 256kbps....
