Thread: Blink cable internet in Kolkata

Frnds, I am currently on BSNL 500C plan...it is proving to be a pain due to sudden decrease in speed to around 70-80 KB/s

I was thinking of switching to Airtel but my local cablewalla has come up with the following plans

512 Kb/s/upto 1 Mb/s (12am-8am) -> 899/-
768 Kb/s/upto 1.5 Mb/s (12am-8am) -> 1199/-
1 Mb/s/upto 2 Mb/s (12am-8am) -> 1399/-
2 Mb/s/upto 4 Mb/s (12am-8am) -> 2499/-

All of the above are unlimited plans and exclusive of taxes

What i will find out are whether the higher speed is during the night or throughout the day...initial charges, instrument needed etc.
I also need to find out the actual ISP that is behind this...

In the ad, it has been mentioned as 'Blink Cable Internet'...have any of you heard of it?

BTW, I am from Kolkata (Salt Lake)...if any of you have got similar options in your locality please share the experience Meanwhile I will keep you updated on this

If this turns out to be alright, then my painful experience with BSNL (after almost 5 years) will be over

the best till yet, i am using 2mbps alliance connection, and it also has lan sharing with ccfile transfer

yeh its really quick considering...

allience has come near to my house in behala area. wheather their conection can be shared in 2 desktop. i may switch off any desktop at some times or may conect both some times. i want scheme between rs 1000/months.
but problem with these cable broadband they asked around rs 1500/ minimum unrefundable amount for installation so they r blocking interested customer to shift to their service and they also cant penitrate every corners as bsnl does
