It looks like 2009 is the year when the long-suffering broadband users of India (i.e. us) finally see some real progress. For example MTNL has doubled speeds on its unlimited plans so that you now get 512kbps for 999, quite a reasonable price. Airtel has changed its FUP to something reasonable. There is a data limit but after that limit you get unlimited usage at a lower speed. And the limits are generous, for example 100 GB on the Turbo 1299 plan: more than enough for the average user. Of course we are still far behind East Asia and Europe but finally you can get a reasonable unlimited plan in India for around 1500 pm. From a personal point of view I only wish Tata Indicom would introduce some new plans for their prepaid users like myself. But at least I know there is a decent option at MTNL that I can switch to.
