Good luck
Wrong...It depends on your area..same is the issue with my friends Airtel Connection...he is too frustrated and now will switch to BSNL.

What want to say is ,in India, you can't say which ISP is better and which is not. You can only compare plans they offer..but not service...even if you take a look at Airtel forum, it has got its problems.
And Bsnl CC sucks thats why people post problems here and hence multiple threads for same problems which does not means that BSNL users are frustrated.

So for me..both ISP's are good and it depends upon service in your area.

Agreed that based on area the providers will be (in)consistent.. even though what I said goes against BSNL I voted in favour of BSNL and any unit (ISP) IMHO is a combination of all the services that they provide and not just the plan(s) and the no. of people getting satisfatory result(s). It's really not possible to satisfy each and everyone in this world.

Happy posting

i agree that BSNL is not good in its own ways but its better than airtel.

And also there is no Airtel Local Exchange in my area.

The quality of this thread is truly atrocious, all i see is people posting "my ISP ROCKS DUDE", with little or no explanation.

Anyway,
Airtel implements fair usage policy which basically means you're bandwidth will be killed (halved/quartered etc etc), if you use more than the "shadow quota" they have for your connection.

If you are the kind of user that uses internet extremely casually, has no interest in downloading movies/software/games etc, and likes to deal will the typical corporate call centers (which actually offer as much "real" help as BSNL); THEN go with airtel.

Otherwise pick one of the BSNL combo plans.

Remember all this obviously is contingent on a) availability and b) local exchange/router issues.

Of course BSNL rox.!! I m using BSNL since past 1 and half month now.. Not a single time i have faced unexpected disconnection not a single time speed problem. Only thing is if you need internet for gaming go for some TATA / Airtel etcs.. BSNL sucks for gaming otherwise it's best

That's because the CS servers are in asia- possibly in india or at the very most somewhere in south east asia.

Try playing other games that will typically not have indian servers and you will never get less than 400-500ms on BSNL.

BSNL is considered to be awful for gaming but almost no one in India cares because people here barely play any games. Even if they do it's ancient stuff like Age of Empires, tomb raider or project IGI.

single digit pings aren't available in all but the most expensive optic fibre ISPs in the USA/EU. Are you implying tata/sify is better than them

I choose BSNL because I am using it from 2 years no problems, just 2 or 3 outages. Very much satisfied with their connectivity, speed and value for money.
