When you get your bill, then you will change your plans about speed. IMO, it is ALWAYS better to go with less speed as against peace of mind. With an UL connection, you know that your speed is less but you also know that you are not going to get jolts in your behind when you get the bill for that month. With a LIMITED connection, even though the speeds are high, you know that the limit will be reached faster, and you will MOST DEFINITELY get beautiful jolts in your behind when you see the bill.
No offence meant ....

And, as personal experience, I can tell you two things.
1. I am on Plan 699 UL on Airtel. They say the speed is 128kbps. I can tell you that it is 90% on the lower side of it, browsing or downloading.
2. Once I shifted to their 999 UL for a month, and thr same problem. The speeds were always on the lower side, and only in night when they say they double the speed, did I get some nice speeds. Still, the speeds were well below the theoretical DOUBLED limits they said.
3. (Bonus
) Also, Airtel specifically mentions UPTO while giving the speeds. Doesn't that ring a bell?
==================
Coming to BSNL, their plans start at 256kbps. No issues. Supposing the speed drops also, and it will, it will still be higher than Airtel at any given point of time, for the lone reason that there are no contention ratios here as in Airtel. Further, using download managers, you can extract higher speed from a BSNL connection. Airtel connection extracts a KB or two more, BSNL connection extracts many KBs more out of the same 256kbps connection.
For a 128kbps connection Airtel says the contention ratio is 1:2, meaning you will get a minimum of 64kbps. Remember you are paying for 128. In 256 plan, the contention ratio they state is 1:4, essentially again a 64kbps connection. There is no such thing in BSNL, they say 256 minimum, so rest assured that you will most definitely get around 180 CONSTANT, menaing both in browsing and downloading - and you will get much much higher speeds in downloading with download managers.
