If I were to move to India...

[Poison]

If I were to move to India for a few months, and base my decision of what city to live in, on the availability of reliable and fast (at least 1.5 mbps) broadband internet service, what city should I pick?What service provider should I go with? And how much (roughly) would it cost per month?Thanks a lot for your help!

Since the average consumer here deals with connections with speeds around 128 - 256 kbps, I doubt that you will get much response on this forum, or for that matter from the websites of the ISPs..... you are better off contacting the ISPs individually... try Airtel - they have the best deals / reliability IMHO....

airtel is the best bet for decent broadband connectivity if u can land at a place where they offer the 256 kbps unlimited pack...

Is it only Internet connectivity you would wish to be bothered?Fine BSNL 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps schemes are available and they are stable.Visit bsnl.co.in for tariffs.Airtel is also stable and you have 512 and also 1 mbps schemes Visit airtel-broadband.com for their tariffsWell I have stayed in Coimbatore for atleast 5 years now (shuttling to and fro from Ooty my native) and the internet facilities are quite stable here.Real Estate : It is on the rise now since quite a few companies are planning to shift down.Why did you not choose Bangalore? Pune? Mysore? Chennai? (All IT destinations)

choose chandigarh.....nice clean decongested citywith best of airtel's plans

Don't do it..., if you can.

well contact any service provider. anyone offering 512kbps connection. You can couple 2 connections together to get 1mbps. That will be costing you according to my estimate atlest rs.2000($45) to rs.2500($55).

Dont move to India unless you have to. Not a very nice place to live. If you do, be prepared to face the most abysmal quality of services in every sphere and aspect of life. And of course breathe a potent combination of traffic fumes, garbage and human excreta. Anyway the internet? about a 1.5 mbps -- If you're willing to fork out $1000+ a month & can live with a cap on downloads on top of it, PLUS a not very reliable "99% on" service - yes there are such greedy ISP's around waiting for customers for example good old mtnl or bsnl. Good luck!

Yes I know, no wonder we have the biggest population growth, and on top of it, the newspapers praise this explosion of people, calling it an asset!??

India is " Mr Ripley's Believe it or not " coming to life! hahahaha

 

[ultra vires]
