They didnt attach the 999 plan details though 🙁

At least runs a lot lesser out of fuel compared to BSNL plans. At BSNL the 1350 plan (nearly 1500 with taxes) give only 20 GB FUP. And the 1700 plan (almost 1900 with taxes) give 40 GB FUP. I do not go to youtube for half of the month except the ending days of the month for fear of crossing my FUP. After moving to 40 GB FUP Plan it is at least not getting exhausted otherwise it would run out of fuel by 15-20 days even after calculated usage. Fck if airtel came to Guwahati with their plans I would probably still be happy. At least need to watch youtube properly and if possible in somewhat HD without worrying about bandwidth consumption. Not to mention that the cost is a lot more than Airtel and the FUP limit a lot lesser. I would have jumped to a 75 GB or 150 GB plan like Airtel provides if BSNL would have provided the same. Instead, they are saying about FTTH plans which cost Rs.3000 or so for 1 or 2 mbps. Not to mention their pings are atrocious 90% of the time and around 200-300 even for Delhi server leave apart anywhere else. /End of rant

The 899 and 999 plan seems to be too good if true for regular usage throughout the day and 799 also seems to be good for mild to normal usage. A steal for that price to be honest compared to BSNL. And I doubt their stability would be worse than BSNL as both are known for their relatively stable connections and more so Airtel whose CC is also regarded as better than BSNL. 🙁

Yeah drive very fast but run out of fuel very soon (FUP).

Now, they have sent me this




Seems the plans are not yet in their DB

That's a pretty shitty plan to be honest.

lucky that BSNL EVDO hasnt fuped their 750 UL plan. Already d/l around 220 GB and still the month (11 days left) is not over. I just hope that keep giving the same speeds (2.1-2.9 mbits) i have been getting (Fingers crossed). Bsnl can really surprise u sometimes. If only they improved all their services all the private ISP would have buckled under long back. The only prob in EVDO is the upload speed which is around 15-30 kbps so seeding torrents is a serious prob. also because of high pings i can no longer play CS

@joker: u played cs with this nick only? Jok3r:why so serious? ... i guess i've played with u many times! 😀

^ they are insulting formula one by putting the car underneath crappy plans with crappy speeds !!!
Above all a crappy and fraudulent brand.

used to play b4 by that name (1-2 years back) but stopped when few others started using similar name and play and out of them two were using hack which sometime confused server admins that i was them . so i changed to other names after than. Due to high pings i had to stop playing CS now 🙁 . Been playing CS since the 0.8 b2845 ver came out (probably 10 years or more)

u shud've used steam then... how much pings u got to delhi and mumbai servers?

My bsnl gives me 200 latency sometimes in Indian.gunners server sometimes in CSS.

when i used bsnl adsl i got always less than 80 lat on indian servers but now i use evdo and being wireless pings are 200+. also too many ppl are great @ acting with hacks nowadays.

BSNL the worst For Gaming let it be ADSL or wireless.Even Airtel is the same but that.. can somehow manage.The best I felt wrt Gaming was Reliance and Beam.

There is an advertisement in today's TOI (Chennai Edition) from You Broadband and Cable India Limited offering 25 GB @12 Mbps for Rs. 999/- and post 25GB, the speed will be 1 Mbps.

Any one know about this ISP?

You Broadband has been there in Gurgaon for a quite a while now. A few of my friends get the promised speeds , but I've seen many people on this forum conplaining that they never get good speeds. ( like say 6mbps on 12mbps plan)
