I'm running a Browsing Centre in Bangalore and am using BSNL's Business 3000 Plan which allows 20 GB Data usage per month. The speed has been pretty good and my customers are really happy about it. Since 1 Year I'm using this connection and I'm somehow able to manage within 20GB limit. But with the growing customers, I'm sure that I may not be able to manage with this plan without compromising the speed. I'm using Net limiter to reduce the speed so that customers may not be able to download a lot. But still with growing customers, I may have to limit the speed to unpleasant limits if I have to manage the data usage per month which may interrupt even normal browsing apart from downloads, which will be a setback to my business as it (speed) was the main reason for attraction to my customers. Also it is really tedious to control usage when it is not in my control (depends on how customers use it). I think controlling net usage is possible only by individual or family. Sometimes I'm forced to disable flash (video) to manage my usage which angers the customers.
Is there any other plan in BSNL which allows unlimited data usage per month (I mean for multi-user connection like browsing centre). I'm ready to pay even Rs.4000+ if so. But main thing is speed (not the data-transfer speed, but the connectivity) should not differ much. I have seen a plan in BSNL for business which is unlimited and same speed (2Mbps), but it mentions single-user (So I cannot use it for browsing centre?)
I don't have Airtel network in my locality and the only other network available here is Tata Indicom which I hear is not so good. I heard from one my friends that somebody is running a browsing center with two Airtel connections of 512 kbps + Unlimited usage, which is giving the same speed and connectivity as mine for 8 PCs. And the price is below Rs. 4000 for two connections! Alas, I don't have Airtel here.
So what do you suggest me? Is there any option for cutting only file-download speed for users while normal-browsing is uninterrupted (net-limiter cuts speed based on system and application).
Appreciate any help..
