stick to bsnl or airtel. the best speeds you can get at a decent price is probably 1 mbps at around 2500 from airtel. pure unlimited. your modem might work provided it is a adsl/dsl modem and not the dial up one

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.

here are the tariff plans!

the 750 plan offers 256kbps unlimited.

i was assuming that you would need a faster plan

bsnl has 512kbps unlimited plan for rs. 1350.

airtel's plan is rs. 1499 + taxes.

damn..that is so complicated..how do u guys understand this?
Thanx Sushubh for ur quick reply..i really appreciate it.
so im looking aorund 2000 for a month just for the internet?lol
and i thought it was expensive here in canada...lol
i pay around 2000 rps for home phone, interent and the cable tv..
and the interent speed is about 5mbps...and no bandwidth.

well that would depend upon how fast you need the net to be. if you can work with a 256kbps line, you would be spending less than 1000 bucks. bsnl could be a toughie to deal with. they seems to be always in short of modems and other required hardware. the fastest and safest bet is airtel. slightly more expensive but fast and efficient. and yeah, india is expensive when it comes to internet connectivity. dont start me on the cable thingy. if you find a decent cable tv service provider, you are in luck...DTH packages here are so freaking complicated, internet would sound like fun.

i think there are two versions...

gur gaon = jaggery villate
guru gaon = village of the teacher

i think the legend is that drona jee (the real one not abhishek bachchan) taught pandavas and kauravas shitz here.

The origin of the city's name is steeped in Hindu mythology. Legend has it that Gurgaon is the ancestral village of Guru Dronacharya, the teacher of the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Indian epic, the Mahabharata. In Sanskrit, Guru means teacher, which in this case refers to Dronacharya and Gram means village. According to Hindu mythology, the village was gifted by the Pandavas and Kauravas to Dronacharya, and was therefore known as guru-gram. The gram was over a period of time rounded off to a colloquial gaon (which also means village in Prakrit) and hence the name Gurgaon emerged. According to another theory, the word Gurgaon is an amalgamation of the words 'gur' (a kind of Jaggery) and 'gaon'(village).
