I went to the local MTNL office to ask for a new connection in Navi Mumbai.

After finalizing the monthly plan (650/- pm 12 GB FUP at 2 MBps and 752 KBps after that - this plan includes the monthly rent for the instrument), I asked for the router costs.

Here is what I was told:
1) Standard router: 300/- Rs Non refundable (one time) + 50 Rs per month as rent
2) WiFi router: 600/- Rs Non refundable (one time) + 50 Rs per month as rent

I asked if there is anyway I can "buy" the router to avoid the rent. I was told that I would have to get my own router separately, to avoid the rent.

So now I am stuck, which router should I buy. I need a Wifi one. Cheap and good.
