Rates in holland

Now the dialup cost using bsnl as ISP is 15.60 during peak hours & 10.80 at off-peak hours.

Basically what airtel has done is it multiplied the rates of BSNL by 4 times because the speed of dial up is 56 kbps so this comes around to Rs 40 in the offpeak hrs. which is still costlier than Rs30 / hr but thats and uncovincing explanation .Suppose there are two persons , one has a dial up and other has airtel BB costing 30/hr. If both are doing normal browsing like viewing web pages and mails then the person who has airtel bb will be in a loss comapared to bsnl dial up. The only difference comes when a user is doing some heavy downloading.

Everyone out here ( ISPs ) are out to fool the consumer and acyually no one is fooled.

Is it economical of viable to heavy download at Rs. 30/H?

yes it is if u need it for a couple of hours in a month. not everyone like to stay online 24x7. it is definitely better than dialup in my opinion.

Lets wait for more rational rates from all ISPs in the near future.

Yes, nothing we can do except waiting. In the meantime my lifespan may end.

This is India. You will be 70 and it will still remain a developing country. I have drastically cut down my internet usage these days and am concentrating on getting my ass back out of India. Its been 7 years since I started using the net and my situation now is somewhat similar as it was 7 years back. I am able to d/l about 60MB per day now and that comparing the inflation of the net, that is what I used to d/l 7 years back. The only difference is that then it was dialup on vsnl and now it is dsl on bsnl. If you're interested in a free brochure about time travel, go to your nearest bsnl office. I am keeping a tab on my downloads. If it gets too painful to stay under the 2GB limit(18 days now and 900MB), I'll switch to airtel again. Installation charges might be high for 128k ul but that will be nothing compared to worrying about going over your limit with bsnl. If I do switch to airtel, I will raise hell with my bsnl commercial officer about bsnl's stupid download limits when I close the connection.
