Hi, so apparently BSNL’s backend is not good, they have only 1G. Which is also down most of the time.

I’m thinking of getting Airtel, TaTa or any other uplink. (Maybe a leased line if partnership doesn’t work out).
Any suggestions on how easily do they give the uplink?

Will be expensive..
BSNL charges around 28 Lakhs a year for a 1 Gig leased line.
For a small ISP, the best way is to go with the franchisee route.
Some ISPs who take the LCO route might help you..
For instance my ISP uses L2 circuits from airtel to connect my LCO to thier NOC.
@Gokul Kannan is about 450kms away from where I live but still gets internet using same ISP. Only this kinda arrangement can make sense economically.
 
Okay, so I have around 500 customers. (I’m good at Marketing).

Now the real problem is: I can not use BSNL as my primary link because it is not good.

Second option is Railtel, but it is not good (their 1G is not 1G to the end).

So I’m exploring additional options, maybe Airtel or something else. (does Airtel give LCO? — Not the XStream one but something else maybe) or some other options perhaps?
 
I would assume you are also peering at some IX then?

Having all the traffic go through BSNL or Airtel sounds expensive.

I have multiple questions:

1) what is the difference between franchisee route and lease line?
2) You have multiple ips from ticfiber?
3) LCO = Local Cable Operator?
4) What is this image Thinking of deploying FTTH network in a village. | Internet General Discussions ?

First look at the fiber infra around you..
Check who has fiber near you.. any telco tower with fiber will be a good place to start.
If you can get close to 1G and if it's reliable then go for Railtel.
Because these older infra will operate on STM speeds (STM-1 or STM- 4 or 16 etc) where STM-1 is 155mbits. So you will get STM-4 Which will give you 600mbits approximately).
Even my ISP is listing indore in its tariff page..
You contact them @ eronet.in for a franchisee agreement but it all depends on the available infra.
 
I actually have Airtel & Jio’s fibre to the tower just 45 metre away.
Not sure if Airtel will just give that fibre.

I have also sent you a DM. :)
