This did deserve to get posted since this is the first time that any mention of 2 Mbps has appeared on MTNL's website.

No mention of data caps. I'd be wary before jumping in.

@Mehul is right. Both MTNL & BSNL's 2 mbps broadband connection is not a unlimited download!!
There will be restriction like 2 GB/ month or something similar!!!

Why both BSNL and MTNL are leaving Unlimited users in Dark! This is bad!

data caps remain the same IMHO.
that means, 400MB at the speed of 2Mbps :O

With 2Mbps its impossible to remain within 400MB limit! Is this is a joke by MTNL? :D

what does this mean? will i still get 256kbps on my night unlimited plan. This is crap... whts the point of 2Mbps if i cant use it to download stuff.

for normal web browsing 256kbps is more than enough... what a bunch of s**t,, n i was so looking forward to it(had even planned what i was gonna download in the first week of Jan) :(:(:(:(

anything for airtel ?? , damn its high time they vomit something out, MTNL is a total waste where i live , i had taken the 400 MB 256 k plan and to my utter disappointement most of the times i got speeds as low as 64 k , and the guys at their customer care are least bothered and no effort was made by any of their employees to sort the problem , this was not the case with only me but all the guys nearby , this is off topic but i needed to mention
their 'dont give a ****' attitude , and thats when i switched to airtel 128k UL and im more than content a customer for more than 6 months now, only had 1 trouble in those 6 months which was taken care of 2 hours within its occurence, i always thought that private companies always had something slick up their sleeves to woo customers but my airtel connection proved that wrong :)

Wow..i am happy. Repped you rohus24!
Mumbai MTNL still didn't updated their Tariff plans though.

Comeon guys, how can they provide 2Mbps for unlimited downloads?
i think 2GB/month cap will be sufficient.

Those are chennai plans. BSNL/MTNL plans have only been announced in chennai as of now. I think the prices/caps would be same (similar?) for the whole of india.
