Don't rely on the babus honoring an online application.Go to your local exchange and fill up a form for a new connection.You may need to furnish a residence proof,PAN card etc.
Plan 900UL-plus waives your monthly rental but no more free calls,whereas in plan 900UL you need to pay the rental but you get some free calls per month afaik.
For a type-1 modem you need to pay rs1200 + one month's bb charge of rs900/-.So a total of ~2100 for the 1st month.

Everything depends on the Ports availability .
If Ports are there then its only unto the BSNL Babus who should find the necessary time,But it is fast if ports are available.
However ports availability depends on area to area.! So first through back door get the information of ports. If its there go for one..else wait for 3 months or more...
