Hi,

I am presently using Tata 128 Kbps postpaid near magarpatta city, hadapsar, pune but want to shift to either airtel or reliance due to need of higher bandwidth at lower price.

With Tata I get the following
1] Live IP (static IP)
2] 15-16 Kbps download speed
3] I am not sure about Fair usage policy applicable to my plan
4] Wired router
5] No ports blocked (as far as I know)
I pay Rs. 700 + taxes / month for this

I have seen 2 plans which seem interesting, 1 from reliance and 1 from airtel
Reliance - 300Kbps combo plan which is "Plan 649 combo" and also gives me local calls worth Rs. 150/month (This is from flyer dropped at my house and also at Reliance website)
The total I pay for this is Rs. 649 + taxes / month and installation charges of Rs. 500

Airtel - 256 Kpbs combo plan which gives me unlimited transfer during night and 3GB during day with around 100 Rs. of local landline calls (This is only from flyer dropped at my place. I don't see any such plan on Airtel website)
The total I pay for this is Rs. 699 + taxes / month and installation charges of Rs. 500
Rs. 1000 extra if I want a Wifi router from them

My questions are;
1] Which one is better in service, download speed, uptime, customer service response...in short all aspects
2] any fair usage policy applies to any of the plans
3] How much download speed will I get with each plan
4] will I get a static IP od a dynamic one
5] Will it be live IP of private IP
6] Can I configure my own wireless router with any of the above connections, be it statis, dynamic, live or private IP
7] Are any ports blocked by reliance and airtel.
8] Time taken for installation from the day I make payment of Rs. 500

Please help as I need to get going with some plan asap.

I don't think BSNL can fit my budget.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Rahul
