Thread: Broadband in kerala???

Am frm kerala, alappuzha. Can any1 guide me as i want to subscribe to a broadband connection and i hav no idea as of which service providers are here in alappuzha. Can u guys mention d isp here and which 1 shud i opt for. I knw bsnl and but it takes as much as 5 to 10 months to get a new connection. What are the other options i have?

I guess there is Tata Indicom and Asianet apart from BSNL which is offering service in Kerala. In the above, i have heard a lots of negative reviews on tata indicom and that left only with Asianet. So you can find out whether asianet is indeed offering or not, check out their website: Welcome to Asianet Dataline

Unfortunately i lost asianet by 3kms. And also tata is not present in alappuzha. Does anyone know whether there is any other isp and whether i can use any data card from any isp?

Hi George,

Do you mean to say that Tata Indicom does not provide broadband services here in Alappuzha?

Reliance does.

I am sure BSNL broadband would be available but if you are too far off from the exchange you may get very low speeds and in that case I suggest you get an edge enabled data card from either airtel or Vodafone but make sure you have edge coverage in your area (dont just believe customer care, ask people living around you to get first hand information)

If edge is not available then the best option would be a reliance data card which would cost Rs650 a month for a 1GB monthly limit and they do have an unlimited plan which comes at a premium.

Some one please correct me if I am wrong and add if I missed out on something

Hi Admin,

He was already aware of BSNL and did not consider that option becasue of delay in getting it enabled.
