Rep Power: 12 | get a 256kbps unlimited connection to avoid billing issues later on. I have seen so many people moaning about excess billing and all sorts of other billing issues so i you get a unlimited plan then atleast you can be assured that thats how much you will pay every month and no more. |

Rep Power: 12 | Which video chatting client are you planning to use? whats the speed of the internet connection on the other end.. the party you will video chat with? 256kbps shouldnt be a problem with video chatting but if you want some very good quality with no lag atall then go for a 2mbps connection in that case. |

Rep Power: 3  | for a smooth video chat 256Kbps connection is not enough i prefer you that you go atleast 512kbps which will be enough with no lag at all |

Rep Power: 3 | If you can spend rupees 1350+taxes for the unlimited plan then go for the UL1350 plus if not so you can go with home 500C+ plan but if you go with this plan be sure to check your usage otherwise you will end up in amazing bills |

Rep Power: 12 | Since you are new to broadband I wont suggest you to get a plan with limited bandwidth as its just too easy to go over your limits and then get a huge bill next month. I have been using skype for video aswell and it works just fine with 256kbps connection. |

Rep Power: 3 | yeah admin is correct you will not be able to hold yourself to download stuff and will surely go overlimits but admin i doubt that video call will smooth with 256Kbps connection as i am also on UL750 plan and making a video call is just like ******* fill the stars with your imagination! atleast on BSNL it is not possible for a smooth conversation |
