Here are some packages offered by these broadband service providers with their tariff , which you can read and post your personal experience with them :
BSNL Broadband : This connection is offered with the bsnl landlines service which are post paid services and you need to pay a advance amount to book a land line telephone[Bphone] and then apply for a bsnl broadband connection which could be either a home connection (or) a business connection , since both of these have different pricing and package usage facilities like single user in case of home connection and multi user feature in case of business connection, and the download of bsnl is normally considered as the lowest of all the broadband networks since the connection is via underground cables.

Aditya Kumar Singh says
You missed tata indicom 😀 they don’t deserve to be on your blog right ?
Amit Patel says
They have already been reviewed previously by me and they are the worst broadband providers in India
Read more on Tata Indicom Broadband
Though iam waiting for others to post their reviews
Venkat says
I was earlier on tata indicom, i had no problems with them, other than the cost and package inflexibilities.
Arvind says
Now days TATA INDICOM PHOTON is offering cheap connection of RS 750 with many products (specially ACER computers). DONT TAKE IT, The serivce is very bad and very slow. Signal is NOT available at most of the places. When you complain they say “yes in your area its is weak., go to that area” and when you want to get it disconnected, they DONT DISCONNECT and tell you that you have to use it for MINIMUM 3 MONTHS and pay RS 2500/-. BE CAREFUL.\r\nAlso it is NOT UNLIMITED. You can uploador download only 2GB per month. Which is nothing if you want to upload pics or download music or movies.
suyog sawant says
prefer tikona best for where the range is possible……….first see DEMO the take install.
Amit Patel says
Tata indicom is the worst broadband service provider in india , because every morning their server is down and we need to lodget a complaint at 60607070
Venkat says
DataOne is good but i only doubt their tech support, how long they take to resolve a prob.
Amit Patel says
Dataone is a product of broadband jaint BSNL and they have got a 24 hours problems resolving service, though i never saw any downtime with them since they offer connection via underground fiber connected land line Bphones.
Samit Shankar says
I’ve been using tata indicom and whilst the service is as per expectations, they recently charged my credit card multiple times and now refuse to credit the amount back. They say they will adjust the amount with my future bills, howeever, that is not acceptable as why did they charge me multiple times in the first place. This is really rediculous and talking to their call centre doesn’t help.
Amit Patel says
Samit Shankar – You need to contact the consumer court and credit card issuing company to cancel these payments because thats not correct to over charge a customer.
Anyway their custom care is the worst one.
Blogs Post says
There are numerous instances where TATA has sent notices to customers and threatened to initiate legal proceedings against customers at customer’s cost to recover the balance and recover the equipments installed at their premises.
Krishna Kumar says
I had very bad experience with both Tata Indicom and Reliance. Initialy i took a Tata Indicom connection (from the satelite phone) and the phone head set was not working for many months.. They did not do anything about the compliants..
Now i took another connection with Reliance..(PCMCI Card) and paid 3500 for the card. The person who sold the card gave me a second hand card and even without using the connection, i received a bill of 900 rupees in the first month. After lots of arguments with sonal director in Kerala, they have changed the connection to my name and waived the 900 bill. Now they started adjusting the bill to my account and that is when i stop dealing with them.
Neither Reliance or Tata does not know the meaning of service.
blogging tips says
I’ve good experience with BSNL Dataone tough unsatisfied with their support staffs n office. You call support and end up getting a number and need to call that no and so on and at the end they won’t receive calls. Esp. this is prob. with BSNL of state Orissa (bhubaneswar)
Also underground fiber connection is still unimplemented in many areas. There a little bit rain would disconnect service…….and suck hours..once i was about to loose $$ from a paid review at my site due to this
Abhishek Daaga says
All i can say is AIRTEL is the best broadband available… and better than BSNL and RELIANCE in KARNATAKA… i have used all the three and have married my Internet connection to AIRTEL as they are the best in giving everything I want their service is awesome.. they come to home within 2-3 working hours after my complaint whereas BSNL takes 2-3 days… I recommend AIRTEL in KARNATAKA
Abhishek Daaga’s last blog post..World Bank Web Site Hacked
Jai says
previously I have bsnl broadband 900/month unlimited when I change my flat I take airtel bb 450/month unlimited.speed of bsnl was great ,Airtel has slower speed in unlimited plan. Now Airtel increase cost for new 750/month in m.p.

ramkumar says
i am using airtel 256 kbps, vsnl 512 kbps. campare to speed both are same. i had worst experience with vsnl. I FEEL VSNL IS VERY WORST SERVICE PROVIDER COMPARE AIRTEL.
I RECOMMEND AIRTEL IS BEST.
ramkumar says
I have used TATA Broadband service and i would say that they are on of the worst ISP i have ever used. I would rank them 1 out of 10 in terms of service.
Amish says
I think mtnl is the best. i am using it for past 1,5 yrs. no complain. no server problem.no biling proble.cheapest and the fastest.I can say it is best from thje fact that there is a huge waiting for new connection for broadband service. my friends are waiting from past 6 months. I feel really lucky
Sameer says
Hi,
I have heard so many bad reviews/complaints regarding TATA/Vsnl but you will surprised to know that they are providing excellent services in Bhopal city, we have one Tata 512 Kbps and one Airtel 512 Kbps in our office so far no complaints both works fine.
We are using Tata from April 2007 though have had faced 4-5 downtimes which lasts no longner than 30 minutes.
I have noted remarkable difference in both connections speed, Tata speed tests always shows between 600-800 Kbps download rate and 550-600 Kbps upload rate while with airtel download is always less than 512 Kbps and upload less then 400 kbps. I believe we are getting good speeds from Tata because of dedicated wireline which only provides DSL Service.
pravinpatil says
The first mistake u ever make is buy a data card. Be it a reliance netconnect, tata plug 2 surf whiz, or any hell.
For all those willing 2 have a reliable net connection, there is hardly any option for BSNL broadband.
-No over-billing
-Optimum speeds
-No drop-outs
-500 plan-total free surfing.
-Lowest download charges.
-All together an excellent package.
-So i suggest, get a BSNL broadband as early as possible.
Although it may take a while for the connection to be installed but after that u should rarely have any problems,
Hilmi says
I need your help haw to connect my mobile with mac lap top?
sanjog says
i like to inform all of you that…DSL means speed should be 256kbps or more…….but except BSNL DATAONE(speed 256 kbps to 2 mbps) no nobody able to provide this much speed.
I know there is some problem with BSNL regarding tech supp. but there speed ,billing(No.1 for billing) is best among there comptetors.
patrizia says

Amit says
From my personal experience in Vizag, BSNL has a huge backlog in installing/activating DSL. They of course accept your application first, without letting you know they don’t currently have enough “ports”, and then have you run-around a long time before mightily doing you the “favor” of finally activating your connection. Avoidable – in favor of the private players, I think.
manoj says
BSNL is a WORST telecom service u cant get technical support and also when u need of new connection it takes 6 months to come……i choose airtel is best for downloading as well as customer support
mskholhring says
I am Using tataindicom wireless. I think it’s the worst internet service provider in our place ie. Aizawl. Their download speed is ok but surfing is very99999999 slow… to open a page it needs at least 1min, and online games cannot be played since i always lag out from the game
Ankit Goda says
Dear Amit,
I wish to install broadband at home for basic internet use. Say upto Rs. 400 per month.
Which one’s the best in terms of minimum down-time, value for money, correct (specified speed), No wrong billing & Decent customer support?
I have a wireless router – so wish to have the cable connected directly to it – so I can save the trouble in case the best option is without modems available.
Thanks for your guidance.
Pradeep Garg says
Dear Amit
My experience is that both BSNL & MTNL broad band services are best. They r consistent in high download speed, cheapest n reliable billing, prompt service on complain. Definately this govt organisation score over private organisations like Reliance, TATA & Airtel and several other.
Eternal Health says
I am using TATA wifi, dial-up broadband, in Navi Mumbai. It is good.
Selva says
This forum speaks up the reality… ? Reality may be some time bitter. Because it true!
Thank you all guys.
Reliance = the most Unreliable.
Tata = at any time, it may say “TA, TA Bye. Bye see you later.”
Both the services are worst to the max. Never ever need to compare with others.
Here are some trustworthy peoples by rank.
[Note: In India if you ask for fixed speed Broad Band connection, for example 256Kbps line unlimited download, that cost will be near about Rs24000 per month. People should not expect such a type of connection. If you are expecting such a speed then you must be some were else in the part of world, ? just kidding.]
1) BSNL and MTNL provide good service only thing some times they cant resolve some hard wire issues. It may take some days to resolve it. But the Tech experts in the Customer care help line provides supports 24 X 7 365 days, it value to money, reliable,
2) Airtel Broadband (Airtel net-connect and data card are not good. Here we discuss about only Broad Band.)
3) Hathway Good but expensive
4) Sify Ok for checking mails, cheep in cost.
Shailesh says
Is there any broadband connection, who doesn’t charge you Installation charges or security deposits for small home usage with lower tarrif plans but decent speed?
kishor kumar says
BSNL broadband is good compared to other all wireless internet, ..
billing system is good compared to other service provider. no hidden charges, no over billing, customer service center are available in all areas near to customer end.
Palani says
I have used Tata indicom broadband with wireless network, its ok , not bad.

Aswin says
Do not opt for Tata Indicom. Worst service i ve ever encountered. Server gets down or Dsl line gets cut.This happens thrice a week. I have to call them and wait for 4 days and they do a temporary job of fixing it wen they finaly come. I am havin this prob for a year now and they still haven fixed it. Do not go for it.
Aswin says
And reliance is bad too. Their wireless customer service stinks big time.Atleast tata’s customer care is courteous even though they don solve anything.Do not opt for tata indicom or reliance.This is from my personel experience.

RAJESH says
am using airtel …it really sucks …charges more delivers far less than bsnl…as for as service is concerned ..bsnl …customer care takes months to respond ..airtel is faster ..but the billing is a robbing there ….sify does not connect well every day ..sify goes off from 9-am to 1-30 for sure no connections during these times ….so airtel and sify both fare worse here in hyderabad …
RAJESH says
forgot to mention about airtel’s pc protecion ..they said its free for a trial then started charging 60 rs per month t..nopw they r charging 100 / month ?????
aneesh says

Thomas says
You can buy any USB modem but please never even dream of buying Tata IndicomeUSB modem in Bengal.They have absolutely no idea about service.Complaints are useless.They are deaf and blind and senseless to your complaints.They know how to suck out money from you. I have had very bitter experience with them regarding connections.
Pawan says
