How To Get Reliable Broadband In India

April 29th, 2007 Indian government proposes to offer all citizens of India free, high-speed broadband connectivity by 2009, through the state-owned telecom service providers BSNL and MTNL. This has the potential to kill current telecom business model in India.

June 24th, 2008 Leased Lines historically have been used as reliable, resilient internet and site-to-site data connections. The main benefits have been security, reliability, SLAs, private network and flexible speeds.

October 22nd, 2007 While comparing broadband packages from Tata Indicom and BSNL Dataone, I came across the revised pricing of another provider with whom I have a love-hate relationship. My last experience with them was ok.

October 9th, 2008 Broadband has arrived in India not so long ago. But it has already reached the desks of almost all the internet users.

March 13th, 2009 People were raring for a high-speed internet that could open up pages and download in a jiffy. BSNL had kept everyone in India waiting  for the much hyped EVDO Data Cards with elevated speed and a standout tariff plan.

July 29th, 2007 Broadband service in India is much less reliable than their counterparts in USA. While in USA, I used Pacific Bell 1.5 Mbps connection for 3 years without a single minute of downtime or any other problems.

October 18th, 2007 I never thought that BSNL, the world's crappiest broadband service, can get any more crappier, but it did. BSNL DataOne is notorious for rapidly switching between up and down states, so fast that it will make your head dizzy.

June 14th, 2008 Tata Indicom announced revised pricing for Infinity 1 Mbps broadband plan, applicable to new and existing customers (like us). Infinity 1 Mbps broadband plan is now priced at Rs 2500 (+tax) per month instead of Rs 3600 (+ tax).

April 29th, 2007 I have a love-hate relationship with Alliance Broadband, mostly hate. I took their service twice or thrice and ended up dropping them in favor of BSNL Dataone Broadband.

September 24th, 2007 In small businesses you will often have the ADSL broadband and telephone line from the same connection. You may also need to setup an EPABX on the connection to share the phone line.

February 24th, 2006 Gautam Shah has written an interesting article in Javaworld where he discusses ways to use SOAP over MOM (message oriented middleware) implementations, instead of default HTTP, to build reliable web services. The premise is simple.

October 8th, 2007 The single biggest difference between Tata Indicom Broadband & BSNL Dataone Broadband is the upload speed. With BSNL your upload speed is limited to 5-7 KBPS.

August 16th, 2007 So far so good. Despite all the negative perceptions about Tata Indicom, I found the connection more stable than BSNL Dataone.

September 20th, 2008 In India I can get 1Mbps from Tata Indicom / VSNL for Rs. 2500 (~ 55.55$ / month with 45Rs-1$ conversion rate) + Tax which brings it to Rs 2800 per month.
