Welcome to broadbandforum.co
1.Beetel 220BX1(one) is a good modem, and you may get it from Airtel itself.
2.If you are using a laptop and want mobility you have to buy a wireless router also.
3. AdslModem+wireless router is also available. Example DG834G Netgear.
4. Search in Ebay for ADSL modems for price comparison.
adsl modem items at low prices on eBay India
5. Usually any Computer shop will stock modems of Netgear/D-Link/Linksys etc.
6. Or make a trip to Kollam and explain the matter to BSNL CC there. They may sell you .a type 1 for Rs 1200 , I think. Advantage: they will replace it if it goes faulty within a year.

@vichu,go to a nearby computer dealer and ask for ADSL Router (Adsl modem +Router) !or do as essbebe said (go to kollam exchange and purchase) then, Deze, Gud kind of english you can avoid, help us to read better ! This is not an sms forum. So you can type completely wont hurt !How much time it takes to type 'the' instead of 'de' ? and 'they' instead of 'dey' ! I see mainly they give type I modem in kerala. My brother got type I in three places. Two offices + Home. When i visited, i carried my type IV modem and used there since i had to use my laptop ! It is always better to go for Type III or Type IV if you want to connect more than one pc or wireless ! All the best wishes in getting a modem !!

@ India Broadband Forum - View Profile: essbebe He used Airtel Mobile Office. Its different from Airtel Broadband. Internet can be accessed using a mobile phone on Airtel gsm connection. So no broadband modems comes into play.

As suggested by India Broadband Forum - View Profile: hafissayed u should get in touch with the BSNL Main Office. Maybe your exchange is devoid of modems, the situation is different in the main office.

1. Location of bsnl main office and consumer cell (both are in adjacent buildings)..it is located just opttosite to supreme bakers...hopw you know that...its at the heart of chinnakada..just go to chinnakada n ask for bsnl new office.. NOT OLD OFFICE..2. contacts in bsnl office means any relatives or friends working there. they can speed up the process.. also personally seeing the consumer manager (sitting at consumer cell) n telling them that its urgent can speed up the process (atleast it worked for me! )3. night unlimited = total unlimited...whatever u browse, download, etc. wont b counted as usage hrs (2-8)...4. speeds are ok..i get around 220 kbps download speed at morning hrs...night is slower..but sumtimes speeds up..u can ask the bsnl guys to configure for you if its familiar to them...by the way wher did u register ur connection - online, main office, or ur region's exchange?
