India Broadband Forum Feed

Was using BSNL since 2006 and pretty happy shud have faced downtime for 5-6 times yes 5-6 times, that stable was BSNL however due to their pathetic plans and useless CC, too much noise in the Landline decided to shift to Beam Fiber, We recently shifted to a new place there were 2 options BSNL or Beam so hence choosed Beam

Opted for 599 plan which gives 4 mbps till 25 GB and 768kbps thereafter

The executive came and installed with 2 days provided username and password and as of now connection is stable.

In view of rationalization, BSNL revised the plan charges and hiked Rs.49 from Rs.950 to Rs.999 by changing the plan name to new as BB Home Combo ULD 999 CS22 by allowing the special discount on payment of Annual / Two Year & Three year advance rental charges with out any revision for existing Broadband Plans.

Basically monthly plan is costliter. But 2/3 year plans work out much cheaper now. 

Also, I believe this is Rest of Tamil Nadu excluding Chennai. Someone please correct, if wrong.

Goodbye BSNL! I finally have an viable option and can consign my BSNL broadband connection to the garbage. To be honest the service was not too bad - I had the 8 GB @ 2Mbps plan and by and large connectivity was okay. But the speed was never up to the mark. And on the few times I had problems, their customer service was so bad I felt like ripping the phone lines out of th wall. Firstly, they only work from around 10 AM to 5 PM. So what happens if there is a problem outside thosehours and urgent work is held up? And if you do call during working hours, it takes ages for anyone to answer - the average is the phone rings for about 10 minutes. And once you get an asnwer the oeprator is least interested in hearing about the problem - she is in a rush to give you a complaint number and go off.

But what made me decide to finally give BSNL the kick was a couple of weeks ago when the connection kept going on and off every few minutes. After the usual headaches I was able to maek a complaint in the morning. When nothing was done till late afternoon I spent another half an hour tryign to call them again. When I got through and said that nothing had been done about my complaint, the operator said that there is nothing she can do and gave me the number of the local telephoen exchange and said I should phone them. That number was, of course, always busy.

Another ongoing issue with BSL is that at fixed times everyday - aroud 5 PM and 10 AM in my case, the bandwidth dropped considerably. Other sers tell me that this is because BSNL allows public sector clients to use excess bandwidth - its a government to government thing and the hell with private users.

There are other service providers who offer up to 40 GB downlaod (upload not taken into account for calculating usage) at speeds of up to 15 Mbps. There is no reason why anyone should use BSNL. I am happy I got rid of this third rate organization.

• Wireless connectivity.
• HP Ink Advantage cartridges (HP 678 Black and Color)
• HP ePrint support.
• Apple Airprint support.
• HP Wireless Direct support.
• Automatic print on both sides support.
• Scan through web portal.
  Took a couple of prints and all were good enough.  The automatic print on both sides amazed me as I have seen this only on high end laser printers.  Scanned some old photos and it looks great too.  Printouts fired from my mobile/tablet works fine using the native print support in android 4.4 but the print comes comparatively slower which is probably because it prints on 'Normal' or 'Best' mode and in mobile I couldn't find an option to toggle this.
   
  Overall a pretty solid printer for the price.

So, I requested a call back asking details of plans and feasibility in two close by locations including my current residence. Have got calls thrice, once they even promised to send sales executive but no one turned up. The other call said they will check feasibility at both locations and call back. The third one just took my details and said will call back. 

All this is the past week or so. Lets see how this goes.

I'm an online gamer and i shifted from "tikona" internet to "Airtel" b'coz i heard that it's a good broadband connection to have. I was happy with Airtel connection for first 20-30 days but suddenly my ping rose by 100-200 in U.K servers to 440 (i used to get 200 ping with tikona in U.K sv) and in France sv to 320 ( again i used to get 180 in france sv ) . I don't know what to do , when i call customer care and ask them for help they simply excuse me by saying " it's the U.K and France sv problem  and that's not true cause all my other friends  have low pings than me. I don't know what to do , plzz help me guys , should i change my isp , anyone having the same problem????

Hi,

I have installed Hathway HD set top box through my LCO in 2012. I paid him 5500 Rs for this HD Box. From the last 2 month, im not getting any channel. when I contact my LCO, they told to us we have not link to hathway from the last three month becos they demand more money. Now My LCO link with Mirai communication.

So im decide to handover  hathway HD box to hathway(branch office-bangalore). Will hathway repay some amount to me?

Thanks,

It's so awesome. That plan costs around 1200 including taxes and I've downloaded upwards of 200 GB for several months and still get a respectable 200-220 Kbps speed. I was forced to opt for Docomo after BSNL refused to give a single shit about fixing my connection. Talk about customer friendly glitches

After getting an Aircel prepaid sim card, I noticed that it does not allow me to call outside of India. Being a foreigner, it is important that I call my relatives/families. So I quickly decided to pursue Airtel. 

Once I given all the paperwork and documents, they notified me that it will take 3 business days to activate the sim card. I thought it was ridiculous since Aircel only took 5 minutes. When I asked why takes so long, they told me it was because the company needed to verify if the documents are genuine. 

Is this really how Airtel works?
