It is quite true that Kalyan telecom is the biggerst circle and they do Bill 1 gb as 1000 mb. This anomaly can be set right in telephone adalat or writing to all concerned deptt. heads and IT minister. There is lots of backlogs for Broadband connection waiting and they are moving in snailpace. Once the customers increase, they will start feeling such heat and setright things. Till then, satisfying with whatever we get is the best medicine, rather than suffering at the hands of Fortunenet or sify with lots of pains, BSNL service is far more better and sustainable. Waiting with anguish for lower rates and higher data limits, one of your local friend.
