There is no modem rent for Airtel's unlimited plans. The 699 and 999 bucks are plan charges. So there's no point buying ur own modem if ur getting airtel.

Hmm.. are you sure ?
the plans are actually 600 & 900 bucks with the 99 making up the modem rent.
I have faced this question myself too and am undecided...
..way i figure is it might be worth it if i can get a modem+wireless+4 port hub (allin one)...
This kind of product is defnitely available but not yet hit the market here....
Thing you have to bear in mind when you get your own is, if you want to change ISPs will the modem continue to work with the new ISP. I only have choice here of AIrtel , so if for any reason they start misbehavin..then i'm stuck with a useless modem.
..maybe not, if it has wireless + hub built in too.
My recommendation if buying one's own is to get more than just modem.
Also once you have paid the cost of the modem in rentals, it does not get waived..you still continue to pay it (at least that's the case with Airtel dunno bout other ISPs, i doubt it would be different).
