Finally Market for retail FTTH - Fiber to the Home in INDIA is evolving.. thats a bit of great news.. as far as new ISP players in the retail FTTH, FTTB market somebody above quotes Beam telecom (a category B ISP licensee for AP region only), thats good but I would like to watch out for RAILWIRE from Railtel corporation of INDIA (a category A ISP licensee for all of INDIA), recently they have also made a modest begining by launching railwire 256KBPS up to 32MBPS ISP services options on copper / fiber in the last mile. RAILWIRE is currently available in some parts of Bangalore, with plans to go national. I am told they are tying up with LCO's - local cable TV operators for the last mile access subscriber acquisition on copper / fiber.
I do have an information posted in this forum about on one of the local cable operators - ANAND CABLE NET, Anandnagar, Hebbal, Bangalore having a tie up with railtel offerring this service.
Cheers.. great to note that in this new age economy the average common man consumer in INDIA is really driving the bandwidth market.. I really expect the big boys like Airtel, Reliance & BSNL to push this Retail FTTH market by wiring up all houses with fiber, who knows some day fiber plants will over take copper plants in a big way similar to what mobiles outnumbered wired landlines...!!
Cheers again..:dance:
Not cheap unfortunately.

Airtel is still cheaper for 1 Mbps unlimited.
I can't get to beamtele.com from here, but this page works Beam Telecom
What I don't get is, they've gone and set up this fantastic 3000km fiber network, and they're offering paltry speeds of 128kbits to 4mbits! They could be offering 100, but they're not. And I can't figure out why.
Sure, yes, they are unlimited but I would imagine that if they quadrupled those speeds, they wouldn't see the actual usage go so high that they would be bankrupted. For sure, there might be some users who like to download 500GB in a month, but the average user probably won't. If they really wanted, they could say to people that blatant abuse of the network isn't tolerated and those that download more than 300GB on a regular basis may be considered as commercial users and should be charged accordingly - or something.
I don't necessary like the idea of limiting users, but in order to be economically viable, it's something ISPs have to do at the moment... until we all start screaming at VSNL, Reliance and Bharti to lower the prices even further...
According to my calculations, in order to *effectively* provide a true, unlimited service, the per GB cost should be below Rs 10. With VSNL, it *can* be as high as Rs34, though the more we buy, the cheaper it comes in. We've got our quotes down significantly below Rs34/GB (unfortunately I can't say the exact price because of the NDA), and we're still trying to reduce it further.
And that's not to mention NIXI's charges!

Here is the Beam's Plans LINK:
Beam Telecom
At Present .. beam's best in Ap.
rest of them Suck.
Some Says Airtel's cheap Does 1699 for 1mbps looks Cheap?
beam's only 1500.. and he also gives Away Free Goodies!
Airtel Idiotic Plans[COLOR=\"Silver\"]
----------
[/COLOR]Here's The Beam Unlimted Plans.. [COLOR=\"Red\"]:dance:[/COLOR]
Isn't is a corporate no-no to directly rubbish your competitors? IMHO, I don't think Beams plans are anything special - they have all that Fiber and they're not doing anything with it
I look forward to competing when we come to Hyderabad
ok then u carry on with Airtel..
beam telecom Also Tend to Stay with Customers need.. and Service within 10 hours..
if u prefer.. then its ur view.. :notallowed:
If I wasn't starting my own ISP, I would probably subscribe to Airtel (if they served my building
)
well airtel has a proven record. as for beam you are the only one who is praising them on this forum. for me you could just be a marketing man for beam telecom. or maybe not. that's not for me to decide.
+1 - I recommend admitting if you happen to work for the company. If not, then fine, but I would recommend saying things like "XYZ company's plans suck" and "XYZ company's idiotic plans" (directly... if you can say it diplomatically, that's not so bad) - especially since there has not really been any justification as to WHY they suck. Make a statement, back it up - that's all I'm saying
As many know, I freely admit I'm a promoter of my own organization, and that's worked out quite well, wouldn't you say Admin?
