Yeah, there's a reason for that - the market is closed and both of the operators are state owned. Basically the freezones get service by du and the rest of the areas by Etisalat.

Even if we could enter, we would not be allowed to offer VOIP services and we would still have to route all of our traffic through the official censor which creates a fairly significant bottleneck.

...although wholesale bandwidth is much cheaper in UAE (about 1/4th to 1/8th of India depending on how much is purchased), the problem of licensing remains :(

Because there are people like me who'd greatly underutilize a flat-rate plan for the most part of a year. But I'd also like to know that I have unlimited data if I ever need it suddenly.

What I meant was basically a flat-rate plan but you don't pay the full amount unless you conusme data worth atleast as much as the cost of the plan. Unless you're counting on the fact that some people will underutilize their connection and end up paying more that they've cost you, so on average including "abusers" you're still profitable.

This would simply be an additional option if they want a connection where they can keep downloading past the maximum bill cap.

Absolutely droolworthy plans. But what about Mumbai?

If you have MTNL, do you pay extra for roaming data charges on BSNL network?

I am guessing that is put in jest so wouldn't even attempt to ask how as no gprs :P

i called the bsnl helpline 1500...he said as bb combo Unlimited 750......is there anyother method for me to crosscheck to ensure it is bb combo Unlimited 750 only?

I also decided to out of AirTel world now.

Can you please share DNS if you have already...i am using bsnl 3G from last month and never got 2mbps speed....i stay near sangvi area...what is your locality ?

I was about to post that in a week or so.It seems that my torrent speed reaches max to 75 KBPS where as previously it wud consistently hit 120 KBPS for 1 mbps connection. This has been happening both day and night for various torrents. Just very occasionally i have seen it hitting 120 KBPS.

I have been using Airtel for 2.5 yrs here in Bangalore, never happened this way.

My normal downloads in IDM (internet download manager) works fine with 120KBPS.

I will not put my money on that, as Logan is a solid and stable car, with very good interiors and quality, also u can't compare the two as Logan has more space, leg room and is a strudy car. The quality of plastics and lot of other stuff is poor in Etios and cost cutting is evident clearly in the car.

those are not temporary dns server, those are Aircel chennai based dns servers, they work gr8. u can use them permanently

By appearance , looks and remote both boxes are the same, it looks like they have got the fresh stocks from the supplier.

Another unexpected, nevertheless, welcome move from Tata Sky. All relocation and service charges down to 125INR from the earlier 350INR. Rates effective 28th January, 2011.
