    Rahul G :Hope RIL Infotel provides and offers affordable broadband internet to the people of India and redefine India’s broadband landscape and destiny.
    If I can make a guess, knowing RIL, it will offer the following tariffs for the masses @ 4 Mbps speed (apart from 50-100 Mbps for the classes at higher rates)…
    3GB for Rs. 100/month8GB for Rs. 200/month15GB for Rs. 300/month25GB for Rs. 500/month50GB for Rs. 750/month100GB for Rs. 999/month
