go for the Govt. services whenever you want something cheap. So incase of broadband choose BSNL . whatever u do DONT GO FOR : iqara( youtele ), tataindicom , sify .

if u dont get bsnl chose some other services like reliance,airtel

Source of Information ?? as as per BSNL web site, no such plan is there :( *bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm

closest one is Rs. 250/- + 12.25% TAX with 256kbps to upto 2mbps with 1 GB Data limit !!

Any other Broadband provider offering plans similar to BSNL? I want to set up immediately and BSNL has waiting list for 2-3 months. Any other Broadband ?

Present service Tax is @ 12.36%. Plan 250/- = 250+30.90. Therefore present
monthly rent is Rs.281/-. Hence emailaatif786 is correct.

They say it will go upto 2024 Kbps, but it remains 1400 Kbps(average), and with using Accelerator, u can get upto 1800 kbps.

Reliance Broadband Unlimited:

Speed: 75 Kbps
Cost (incl. taxes): Rs 400/mth

Speed: 150 Kbps
Cost (incl. taxes): Rs 750/mth.

You can go to any nearby Reliance Showroom to get further details. Reliance is gr8. They didn't take the rent on my u/l plan for 15 days coz some main cable was cut and it took 'em 15 days to repair it!!!!!!!!!!
