I "applied" on Feb 21st and got it in one week flat... i moved to bangalore (indranagar area) so not only the dataone but also the LANDLINE within the same week! hehebut i had to run aroudn a lot.. go personally to the bsnl office and pick up the forms, fill it out, pay cash at BDA, return it to the office, then a few days later they installed my landline, then i went to the office and gave them my new number, then they called back with a order number which i had to call some engineer and give him... then he took a day or two to "setup the connections" (enable the dataone to my landline). friday the guy was supposed to come and install the CPE (modem etc) but i was working so he came on saturday morning...woooothe manager at the bsnl office told me that people "apply" for connections by sending old forms or incomplete info like missing telephone numbers, email addresses that bounce, incomplete addresses etc etc...
