BSNL to hike landline, broadband rentals

[probuddha]

We don't have alliance in our area, but as per user reviews, it seems that Siti is a much stable and "cleaner" connection than Alliance. Alliance is notorious of injecting third party banners in browsers ultimately leading to malware/ spyware infection.
Moreover, Siti comes from ZEE Telefilms Ltd, so it carries a bit of reputation with it and also provides peering for torrents, the max download speed I got in torrents was 11.5Mbps, the average hovering about 8-10 Mbps
Also the bandwidth of 1mbps is doubled after 1 AM (even though not officially mentioned on their website)

Yup Here is a speedtest result taken right now https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3344352239 Wish BSNL, at this time of the day, I would be lucky if I get even below 200ms - you know how BSNL is Because of this low ping, even though the bandwidth is less than BSNL's 4Mbps, the browsing is much much smoother

Latency is BSNL's biggest issue.
At times I get 600ms+ to Indian servers.
Their routing is all messed up

Downtime again from 5:15pm same as a few days back. PPP Down is the status in my modem.

No hike this month. BTW I thought they gave a small discount for online payments?

They have changed the plans. But only limited usage plans. Unlimited plans cost the same.
See limited usage plans here-
