Exatt Technologies, under sic internet. Taken from local cable wallah.

Plan: I am paying for a 256kbps UL @ Rs. 550. I get dl speeds of 55kBps in the day and 100kBps and above in the night. It is UL too. :D

Opinion: Great service as the office is nearby. Whenever I called, he turned up very soon at my place.

BSNL Home UL 750

Opinion : Working gr8. No complain. But if once the line gets faulty(once in 2-3months avg.) it takes them 1week to repair. Thats so frustrating.....!! :)

We have similar service around here. They will charge 570rs a month ad dl speed will be between 55-60. But no bump in speeds during night times.

ISP: Alliance Broadband Services
Plan: Zoom pack (256kbps unlimited during day, 512kbps unlimited during night).
Price: Rs.550 including taxes.
Opinion: Getting 30-32kbps during day, 55-60kbps during night. Using it for the last 2.6 years, connection from local cable wallah. Am quite satisfied with it. Very less downtime also, maybe once in 6 months. Complaints are usually attended to within the next business day. This plan is way better than BSNL.

Isp Mtnl (Worst)

Plan 256kbps UL

1)Performance is very low as compare to Airtel
2)Down Time is very High
3)Packet Loss is High
4)DNS is Slow
5)Quality of service below average
6)High Ping rate
7)Poor Customer Care
8)Frequent Disconnection
9)On this low bandwidth they are sharing the single connection infrastructure with 28. MTNL provides a contention ratio of 1:28 for both Home and Business Broadband users.

Over All Rating 4/10

Well i paid for a Tikona Wi-Bro plan recently. It was quite an attractive plan. 600 kbps unlimited with night time speeds of 1mbps. Also the first 600 mb at 2mbps! I was quite excited until the installation guy came yesterday and announced that he's not getting signal at my place. It's so strange because my neighbour's house, where they had a demo, is located just 20 feet away.
I don't want my money back ... I want the plan :-(

I applied for Tikona Wi-Bro last month. I opted for 600kbps plan... but it was a total crap.. never got speeds in excess of 20kbps... so got it disconnected.

Had applied for Tata Indicom now.. waiting for them to install the connection

Ditto
ISP: BSNL

Telecom District: Anantapur

Plan: Home 500c+

BW allowed: 2.5gb (excluding NightUL from 2-8 AM)

Opinion: Of course value for money,The only thing you should keep in mind is the 2.5GB limit,get it wrong and you'll be paying bills in multiples pf 1000's
but 100GB+ downloads per month for 600 :)) you do the math.

Customer Service is as Good as Indian Cricket Team, Better sometimes and worst some other time.

ISP : MTNL .... <3 low latency gaming.

Plan : TriB 512 combo new.

Speed : 1mbit / second full day and night

Fair Usage Policy : NO.... rofl at airtel users :D

Cost : 999 for internet

Pro's :

1. low latency to all ISP's

2. constant speed always more than 125Kb/s

3. good support and fast service

4. Low price , no spikes extreme low downtimes <0.1 %

5. Exchanges connected by fibre optic and fibre optic to my colony.

6. 1mbit/second upload speeds

Con's :

1. Sad customer support

2. Slow DNS servers a lot of DNS downtime



In MTNL the area exchange with which you are connected makes a lot of difference...

this happened to me 2 days ago ... my 8 year old ut-starcom modem coughed and the capacitor went " poof " so i called up the MTNL customer support told them about it. Same day got a call from MTNL broadband room confirmed problem got a new modem the same day. That's pretty fast even by airtel standards.

So did u speed change from 512kbps to 1mb? if yes did u call them for speed change or the process is automatic and on which day ur speed is changed as my speed is still 512kbps :sad: and what is ur location delhi or mumbai?

Mar 10, 2010 at 12:30 PM
also the guys using other people's connections beware..... if you get caught you are gone, that 1MB/s speed you are hogging is not unlimited data transfer.... so dude be careful when the people at the office recieve the bill dont look at their faces :d
