Default My Router or MTNL's??

Hi all...my first post...i am thinking of getting an MTNL broadband for home use and, of course, am going for the NU option.

I have more than one computers in my house so it makes sense to go for a wireless router. According to MTNL, if i buy their router, i gotta pay 150/- per month for that. Add the 849/- p.m. for the plan itself, and its almost a 1000/- bucks.

Is it recommended to buy my own router? It would be a one time investment and i won't need to shell out the 800/- one time charge + 150/- each month.

But MTNL also says that in case i procure my own router, they don't support troubleshooting it (reasonable).

Please tell me according to your experiences, if its better to go for my own router or get it from MTNL...thanks a million...cheers!

Also, if i buy it, which one should i buy?

I suggest you buy you get the one mtnl provides and pay rent if you are looking farward to get a new wimax connection which will be rolled out soon so its not wise to invest in a adsl modem and router. Another plus is that they wont get away with saying that you use your own equipment so the trouble is all yours... They will be more responsive in case of an outage. If you think cost wise it will take more than a year and a half to recover the costs if you buy your own and who knows what you would be useing to surf the net by then You might be using a super fast connection by then supplie by an optic fiber cable..

Thanks and welcome to the forums.
