------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ They do have an option of free downloads between 2am - 8am which in my opinion is reasonable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Have you ever tried the respective plan by BSNL which contains offer of unlimited download between midnight? I bet you haven't tried. I know plenty people who got thousand of ruppes bill due to miss calculation of BSNL people. Yes..Some live examples....They also have complaint copy and sealed copy of BSNL where settlements will be done. Not just 1 but many users facing this problem because BSNL did not count the duration between 2 am till 8 am as a free data usage. And it's a big big head ache.
At corporate private companies are the only competitor's. No BSNL available. In race at no.1 there is "BHARATI" , at 2nd it's "STPI" ie " Software Technology Park of India" and at thrid it's "TATA Indicom VSNL". Reliance is somewhere at 4th place or 5th. Believe me, if they don't give fast support to corporate customers, they loose huge business. At corporate nobody pays CASH. Usually rate for 2 MBPS 1:1 line price is approx 13,00,000 per year. You all must heard of earth quack recently happened in Taiwan. many internet users were effected. Internet downtime because 4~5 fibre channels were broken. BHARATI did a great job. They moved traffic via another line at international gateway at there end. But other company did not. There connection was slow. These things we never know at the customer end as a home user. Anyway..It was just a real time scenario recently happened. For video and voice chatting, it really depends upon traffic and routeing hopes in between. It always been conjetion when trasffering data,voice,audio through a common router. No matter how much bandwidth you have. 2 MBPS line is ideal surely for college, school or banking sectors or specially internet cafe owners. Well it's individuals choice. Let's see ! I heard there is a big big que in many areas in Pune city to get BSNL broadband. BSNL still not able to give connections to all customers who sent request 2~3 months ago. Its a sad thing.
