these broadband services are very good ones and i myself use BSNL broadband service as it is very affordable and also provides high speed internet access. there are more services coming up with the broadband connections in the due time. with increasing number of service providers, the rates shall further come down due to competition and also the speed of access shall improve.
well, i agree with the order when it comes to broadband via hardlines. but BSNL aint good at wifi or wireless internet. services like reliance, airtel, tata photon are doing great business in the wireless segment. but BSNL stands in the top list considering its rental charges, quality of service and speed.
I think BSNL, MTNL, Reliance and Tata are major players in the broadband service market. However Youtele and Airtel are slowly gaining the markets. Airtel is much better. But in terms of flexibility of plans, BSNL and MTNL are the best.
I would go with MTNL, YOU, Reliance and Tata. Reliance and Tata are better since these are available at almost all the locations. Airtel is also a good broadband service provider but the accessibility does pose a little problem in its case. MTNL and You Tele are good at the places where they are available.
The introduction of broadband service has changed the whole scenario of the internet world. There are several broadband service providers in India making internet easily accessible today. I personally prefer Tata Photon+ and BSNL broadband service. These offers the best and high-speed broadband service in India and are quite affordable.
