broadband/cable internet in bangalore

[ash_g]

Hi guysI am planning to take a broadband/cable internet(256/128Kbps unlimited) in Bangalore. Can you guys tell me which is the best offer available for abt 1k/month?Thanks.

Simple. Airtel Home 999 plan. 256kbps up/down Unlimited. 999 a month.

mine is Hathway freeway regular(256kbps unlimited), no downtimes, paying 995+10% tax.How much Airtel ppl charging for installation?

If it's available where you live, otherwise you might have to consider Hathway. If that's not there either, you are left with Sify (gulp) or BSNL.i paid 2 x Rs.333 spread out over a cpl of months for installation. A far cry from the Rs.4000 (non-refundable) the local cable wallah charged me cpl yrs back.

Thanks guysI will call the airtel broadband customer care and ask whether it is available in my area . If so, i'll go for it. Otherwise I'll check other options like Hathway/BSNL.Cheers.

Airtel doesnt charge that much. They have changed their cost structure.

The Airtel guys just called me up & said that their service is not available in my area. I think that I should contact Hathway now. Any suggestions?Thanks.
