I am currently on the 30GB 4mbps plan on BSNL which costs me around 1600 bucks I guess. 1445+taxes... BSNL starting random redirections mean that it is time to say adios. Quality of service is shit. Though I guess Airtel has gained some new nuisance like mandatory buying of router from them and so on... Ideas?

So... An Airtel Broadband plan that is worth getting for backup?

Nope, you can buy your own WiFi router. airtel uptime has been too good lately. Not a single downtime incident in months. But I guess that's the effect of my email to their CEO. airtel is not bad actually. You need to make a deal with the devil if you want uninterrupted service. I say get airtel 30GB plan just for browsing and use RCOM for downloading. Works out well for me.

I have 2Mbps 25GB FUP Unlimited for Rs.799+ tax as my backup line. They didn't give any modem.

You said you were going to request disconnection in 1 month.
Edit: Oh that was some other thread. If it's just a backup line like mine, then might as well request disconnection and get a retention plan.
Shifting to Gurgaon from Delhi in next few days. Just got a new Airtel connection in Gurgaon. The 8 MBPS 80 GB plan. Connection was installed couple of days back and came with a free D-Link 2730u router. You could choose from Beetel or D-Link, so I opted for the 2730. So far all looks good. Have not had any major issues with Airtel since 2003 at my Delhi residence, except for the FUP crap.
Getting constant speeds over 8.5 MBPS, with D/L speeds around 1 mb/s. Haven't shifted yet so not tested the connection thoroughly, but what ever time I've spent there n used the connection, things seem stable with pings around 28-30 to closest server on speedtest.
