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.

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.

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.
