Hi all,

Which ADSL modem is the best one? And what is its price? BSNL is providing Huawei SmartAX MT880 modem for Rs.2000, should I purchase this one from BSNL or consider buying it from the market. Will BSNL provide me the 1 year warranty if I buy there modem?

Thanks

it depends on what u want

do u want to just use it on one pc, and dont need any advanced features?

then i guess the BSNL one is fine...u'll hafta ask em if they give warranty

if u need 2 use it on a router for multiple pc's...or even if u want to put 2 lan cards on the host pc and use it to share net on another pc, then u will need a modem which has an ethernet wire not USB

and the bsnl one probably has USB..again, check with them.

Oh thanks for reply, I have not buyed this modem tiil date I'll now pay them not anything more than Rs.1200. Are the BSNL guys providing warranty on the modem purchased by them?

I bought recently "Billion" A Taiwanese Co. Ethernet port is faster than USB so if u are thinking of connecting other PC Opt for Ethernet Port. Well this doesn't heats up and costs Rs 1875.

D link is also a good choice but look for original one coz there are dups in the market.
