I have somehow managed and saved 3k Pocket money ,Too Confused about that Installation Charges and Rest Tax and Stuff..On BSNL Website Enterprise Section i saw something like ,Installation Charges = 500 + Security Deposit = 1000 (refundable) + Advance Pay of the Plan ,I gonna take the 2999/- one , so alltogether its like 1500 + your BB Plan Charges ,but the BSNL Commercial Officer said its 2400 + your Plan .. why so ? do they take Fibre Wire Charges aswell , I am new to all this ,So someone Already Owning the FTTH , Please Guide me through the Starting Money Taken and Stuff that one needs to know, while taking FTTH Connection ..Thanks for Reading the Whole Story , had to make it that way , so that , you feel my pain , A Gamers Pain 😛leasantry:Regardstheunreal.

The BSNL officer is absolutely right. I had paid Rs4999 as per their demand note for the same plan.

Some questions that came to my mind:1. Are their ping response time better on FTTH? Note that FTTH is one the last mile connection, it does not improve their routing or core and distribution networks.2. More so, will they really connect you on fiber ? FTTH is a generic term, it can also have a pair of copper to your house while the concentrator can be in one of the street cabinets connected with fiber to the CO, this is more appropriately terms as FTTC. I'm not going into commercials and bandwidth on offer, as I don't subscribe to the abuse they are doing to the FTTH terminology with the same.

regarding ping you can see it in the next thread in this topic. I have posted many of them.there is an improvement of about 30-40 ms in my case.
yes they connect you with fibre right upto your pc desk that is upto modem.

Well, you are comparing with DSL over copper and that marginals gains makes us all happy. FTTH on the other hand can be whole different story if done correctly, not only can you have a minimum of 32 Mbps Internet, Same line can give you IPvoice and digital TV. It can also bring you IP TV but that is not successful. I would rather wait and watch for the industry to gear up and meet the FTTH standards and not fall for the selling context that it is better than DSL so why not take it.

I'm a gamer too and the ping story is a pain in the ass. I'm really jealous of those European guyz. Still my MTNL copper wire connection is able to fetch me 100 ms ping on singapore servers.
