BSNL Broadband double speed on 256kbps plan

[ashutosh_x]

Reliance and Airtel have already upgraded their tariff plans in a way that Airtel provides double the speed (with strings attached perhaps) from June 2010 and Reliance also following the bandwagon upgrading the tariff.

Following are the new tariffs of reliance broadband (they look pretty good).

Welcome to Reliance Communications

Anyone has any ideas on if and when BSNL will wake up to this? They have also updated their tariffs but you can hardly call it an update.

Guys,I think BSNL has doubled its speed again. I am getting 50+ download speed for a Home unlimited 256 connection. Looks like BSNL has upgraded its speed to 512 kbps.Strange are the ways of BSNL. Please confirm if others are experiencing the same.Ashutosh

as i was browsing at 1:30 AM this morning i lost my connection. despite repeatedly restarting my modem i could'nt connect. today afternoon when i turned on the modem i got very slow connection. it took hell of lot of time to even open google.com, yahoo.com and rediff.com. when i started to download a file i saw it was going at the speed of 60+ kbps. when i checked through speedtest.net, it showed my connection as 512kbps. so i guess they have upgraded.

Thanks to all the dudes who responded in this thread.One thing I want to know is : Is this a 512 unlimited plan without strings attached? Or it is one of the plans where you get 512 kbps upto certain gb of data transfer and then it gets back to 256 kbps for rest of the month?-Ashutosh
