What is Your Internet Provider and Plan?

[CRACING]

New plan. (3 days trial)
Hathway Broadband
50MBPS speed , 20GB for 1000rs per month. 1 MBPS unlimited after 20GB.

Wow what a great plan.

I have BSNL Boardband (Plan Name BBG Combo UL 675) which costs approx. Rs. 750 Incl tax per month. Speed is 512 Kbps flat unlimited, that takes 1 hour to download 200MB!

Bsnl cries to provide vfm plans instead they loot peoples money in minor cities. Not only pricey plans but service is also worst. Random disconnections daily and dead connections in weekends. The telephone wires are buried 20 years ago and now they are damaging here and there. To fix damages they take a week. I'm unable to work properly.

I feel like I'm in Africa. I hate them very much then anything else, even though my father was a BSNL employ.

I read some news that 20 mn subscribers disconnected their connection with bsnl. You should too.

Hathway brought this connection just some months back and i faced many problems. I made a thread as well. Latest issue is speed is just 5mbps.

I would have also but there are no alternatives and no wifi broadband providers either. 3g services are only good upto 5gb monthly usage but costly for heavy usages.

I think thats because speed is divided among users connected to that wifi connection. You can confirm by asking them, Speed mentioned in tariff is per user or gets divided.

No. I used to get 50mbps speed on speedtest.net

2 of my friends got the same connection this month only and they too are facing this problem. Checked in both of their houses , same speed as mine. Will report if it gets sorted.

Paying monthly 1087 rupees including tax.

I use BSNL Broadband. I think plan is for 800/- plus taxes. I get 6 GB at 1 Mbps and further at 512 Kbps. There is some option to pay for retaining speed but I don't find it necessary. The plan suits my needs. Though must say that when it goes down takes some running around to get it working again :)

I think bsnl is upgrading to a minimum of 2 mbps speed at no extra cost. Saw it in the news.

Yes !! It's true and I am changing to bsnl 675 plan from airtel 3g this month!!But I'm sure they will increase prices for sure in coming months.

I am running an Airtel 16mbps plan. I am not sure if 60gb or 80gb is the limit after which it becomes min speed. But they have a landline plan at 100 bucks unlimited local & std.so 1200 plus 100 & taxes. Before my bill use to be 1500 odd with 8to 10mbps so new plans are cheaper which i migrated to! Customer care is better with Airtel so sticking with it.

The plan is called BBG COMBO ULD 845 (Looks like 800 became 845 some months back!)
The site still says "Upto 1 Mbps till 6 GB, 512 Kbps beyond 6 GB"
I think I am getting the same not 2 Mbps.
As per their site the higher bills are having 2 Mbps:-
http://bsnl.in/opencms/bsnl/BSNL/services/broadband/BB_plans_less_speed.html
However, this circular claims 4 Mbps till 30 GB from 6th July:

I think I'll have a look at the speeds at the beginning of first of the month and report actual speeds!

It would be great if its true but all the news say there is FUP of 1GB after that speed drops to 512 kbps. If this is what bsnl is doing then it will not improve their revenue.

You stay in Bangalore right? Then ACT broadband should be available there?

Many of my friends in Bangalore are using ACT broadband and said its very good. For the same amount you pay for BSNL (~850), you will get FUP of 30GB at the speed of 2 mbps and then drops to 512 KBPS, on ACT.

Hope MTNL also follows BSNL on 2bmps speed

Yes, ACT broadband is available in some areas. (not mine).
As shown by link above my plan they plan to give 4 Mbps for 30 GB.
I am happy with the plan and bills are useful as address proof too. (and glad to help a government organisation as well).

No. What bsnl is doing is raising the minimum available speed in the broadband network from 512 to 2 mbps. If you have a 4mbps+10GB plan, post FUP limit it will come down to 2mbps instead of the earlier 512. But we can expect a change in the current 512 unlimited plans which are available at 500-600 range. If the same is made available with 2 mbps speed then more customers will step down to such plans. So there might be some modification in such plan benefits from October 1st onwards.

since being shifted to thane, mtnl 3g signals have been erratic to say the least.
during the entire month of june, there was no 3g signal at all here.2g was good only for whatsapp.

then came another shock, the unlimited plans for 3g are all taken off.

so had to look for local broadband options.

found out local operator who does caching for most frequently downloaded stuff and offers google services including google docs, youtube, play store @100mbps. rest of the stuff goes for 512kbps.
gets my job done @ Rs. 600pm for true unlimited data.

most of the stuff i watch , use is cached so i get it at lan speeds.

attached below is my monthly usage .
