poly-gone- I would suggest you do what I have done. From this month(nov) onwards, I moved to the
business 1200 4GB plan from the Home 1000 2GB plan. But no free d/ls from 2-8am. Checking my data usage for the past 2 months, my total usage(free+regular) is about 4-4.5GB/month so the 4GB limit is kinda manageable until Airtel comes to my area.
edit- Didn't read about the airtel part. If Airtel services your area, close you eyes, GO FOR IT. You'd be fool to stick to bsnl if airtel is already providing connections in your area. 256k 999 unlimited is a good plan.
The difference between bsnl and airtel is TCO(total cost of ownership). With airtel, I had no disconnection problems, no fiber/copper cable cuts. Connection was constant and reliable. With bsnl, first few months was wonderful but after the honeymoon, things went downhill. Fiber cut for 7 days, server problems for a week, a no-clue helpdesk, no central area for clearing complaints, and worst of all, no unlimited plans. And then, airtel collects payment from your doorstep, for bsnl, I need to go to some junkyard govt office. Bsnl functions like a govt office. They're attitude is: we are doing you a favor by allowing you to be a bsnl customer. So suck it up and shut up. At airtel- they are private so customer is king(upto a certain extent
😉 )
If you value peace of mind and simple no fuss billing(
