Hi Frndz,
Finally i am confused with the broadband service i should use. I just added a post on my worst experience with airtel broadband at: http://www.indiabroadband.net/airtel....html#post3897 (Never Use Airtel. Worst Service Provider)

But if i see other broadband forum, every where ppl are complaining about all the service providers... so finally i got confused for selecting the proper the broadband service provide... !! I think Indian companies are not doing well in even India... and there should be some US/UK based company who can give a good service...

Can anyone guide me ?

Hi,

I'm also looking for an ISP in India for some relatives. Can anyone please provide some guidance or direct me to some reviews? DSL vs. cable? And which specific ISP?

Thanks.

Give me your suggestion

Even though BSNL has a huge number of crappy officers, bribe-demanding field workers and lousy customer care, I can recommend no ISPs other than BSNL. Remember, India is yet to be a developed country and in a country like this, it's hardly possible for a customer to get speed+reliability+cost+free usage as desired from any ISP.
However, to provide you with 2mbps connexion @500/- with night UL and 2.5GB free at day is not possible for private ISPs.
Consider this wise decision and if you insist Internet connexion, go for BSNL and learn endurance and patience.

Cheers

so what i understand is you recommend .. BSNL ... is it available in Mumbai in all areas

(-N-)

i recommend bsnl toooo... i had my dsl up and running 3days after i applied for the connection. and damn the connection is fast as hell. i download ~5gbs of data every night using torrents and p2p softwares.i been using it for 3 months and no complaints yet

mmm

@ coolguy , BSNL is not available in Mumbai & Delhi .
Both Dehi and Mumbai are served by MTNL .

I'd say go for a BSNL Home 500 plan (256 kbps upto 2 Mbps, 2.5 GB upload/download limit, Night Unlimited) or BSNL Home 1000 (384 kbps upto 2 Mbps, 5 GB upload/download limit, Night Unlimited)

I had been using Airtel and i would say that they are the best service providers. Till date i have not faced any customer care problem even thoug there had been some service problems which one of there representatives fixed within 1-2 hours. I would highly recommend them.

I too agree with Saurav that BSNL which has all the infrastructure has the best net in terms of speed and reliability. But when your connection gets any issues like got cut or disconnection, then only there will be issues you will be facing. That too they have improved a bit. They call you and sometimes rectify your issues through phone itself, which I feel will save time for both party. But connection wise they are best and service wise they need to improve.

Considering that almost all customers of various ISPs have faced issues and bad customer service, which is very much evident in this forum itself, it is almost impossible to choose an ISP, esp. in india. So I have decided to stick with BSNL at least for the moment and would suggest the same for everyone.
