Check Linksys ADSL2+ wireless gateway. costs around 3k and is pretty good model with solid support and very easy to use connectivity interface

According to me go with BSNL routers.
Firstly - as you said - they are cheap.
Second most important point is BSNL so called 'technicians' only know to configure and setup routers available with them. So when something goes wrong (which will) and a 'technician' comes to your house for repairs, his first words will be "What is this? We don't provide support for this..."

^^With routers like Linksys, you don't have to rely on BSNL uncles. You just give a call to Linksys and the response will be much more professional.

First of all change your plan
Trust me when i say 250 plan is the crappiest plan ..it charged me 4000 rs when i exceeded the limit..1 GB is not enough for casual browsing too
