@Rajive Borde
Agreed!
I think MTNL is the only company in India which is 100% transparent in terms in billings.
The only company which has 1 to 30th billing unlike other companies with billing in between the month. So they can fool you in the days.

Im Mtnl subscriber and um using there internet service from last 2yrs and there service is adorable i never made a call to them for any kind of complain for internet disconnetion etc. They never gave any kind of stupid excuses like server down etc. which are comman excuses given by other Internet Service Providers…….
Mtnl’s service is far better than other ISPs…
ya bt i too think that they should reduce there tariffs for unltd data usage…

Quality of service varies in case of BSNL and MTNL. You might find one city/area/colony as well served while other being too poor, so it’s hard to generalize anything.
Plans are cheap or not again depends on what you consider cheap
Now everyone “wants” to have a 1Gbps connection, but point is – how much everyone is ready to spend for that much bandwidth and that further depends on how badly one needs 1Gbps?
Rajive Borde April 30, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Konsi dunia mai ho mere bhai ?? MTNL’s broadband service already affordable and cheapest from any other ISPs in India.
MTNL is also number one in Mumbai and Delhi in terms of subscriber base, it has more than 85% market share in Broadband segment (Mumbai/Delhi) so if service is poor or price is not affordable than how MTNL becomes number 1 in broadband ?
MTNL users can book complaint on 198 (IVR) which is mostly resolved with in 24 hours (in Working days)

The tariffs are too high, common man cannot afford.
MTNL should lower tariffs and make internet affordable so that every household can gain access to Internet across Mumbai.
Firstly MTNL’s customer service is horrible nobody bothers to pick up the phone…
least interested in resolving customer issues.
I don’t think MTNL’s FTTH service will be a hit in the city…other ISPs are offering cheaper tariffs and great speeds.
ALL THE BEST MTNL in their new endeavor……

no not yet. He is yet to respond to me
Anurag Bhatia April 30, 2011 at 12:58 am
1.10Gbps is core network speed which runs on STM 64 ring with advanced DWDM on Physical network. It’s JUST the core network speed, do NOT expect speeds beyond even 100Mbps on fiber atleast for now.
2.Fiber is highly scalable, but remember it “costs” things and whether it’s ISP or end user – the spend money when they see any value in that. Beyond say 16Mbps where you can download whole movie in less then 10mins, there’s hardly any further demand for speed. Tell me what you really plan to do with 100Mbps or so?
3.Giving 1Mbps unlimited @999Rs on fiber is just OK. Crazy thing here is WHY WHY WHY NOT give that on DSL? Remember DSL costs much low as infrastructure is there + technology is relatively cheap as compared to fiber.
4.Unless MTNL gets request for speeds beyond 10Mbps, they do NOT really need fiber. In most of cases they can easily achieve that much on existing copper based DSL.
All the best MTNL!

@Raghu
Hey are you received any update related to sharing site in your area?
Raghu April 29, 2011 at 11:10 pm
yes it should be more cheaper which MTNL will do it very soon
V April 29, 2011 at 8:26 pm
The speed sounds cool…
But It should be offered at cheaper cost
Unlimited at 1Mbps for Rs. 999/- Thats not good.
They should make it more cheaper to attract more customers.
alberto April 29, 2011 at 8:23 pm
Download 1 movie per second lol… 10Gbps=1.25GBps
Sai April 29, 2011 at 5:56 pm
Fair usage policy… huh! present ADSL plans are bettr!
Sanjay Bafna April 29, 2011 at 5:52 pm
@Dilip Virani 10 Gbps or 10000 Mmps is core network speed and any plan can be offered by service provider
S April 29, 2011 at 5:26 pm
Also 10 gbps is 10000 mpbs. So why is the news mentioning 10 gbps in the title and 1000 mbps (1 gbps) in the description? TT please clarify. Also, mtnl website not updated yet.
Dilip Virani April 29, 2011 at 5:14 pm
What is this 1000 mbps and showing plan for max 4mbps? i mean i didnt understood meaning of 1000 mbps!!
..JacK.. April 29, 2011 at 4:50 pm
Download 10 movies per second…great speed…
shaik April 29, 2011 at 4:25 pm

Mahesh April 29, 2011 at 4:24 pm
Again they can on tt with their broadband services plan. Where are the GSM/UMTS offers? MTNL think for UMTS/GSM services. Now it’s enough for BB.
Mahesh April 29, 2011 at 4:19 pm
Great news, MTNL is the first Indian operator who offer such great, thrilling, beyond thinking speed to his loyal subscribers with triple play.
But plans are still not beyond their thinking, they are offering 10GBPS but plans upto 10mbps plans.
