I am thinking to go back to MTNL.They are offering plans with no hidden charge and it seems that customer care has also improved a lot. I am using Mobile TV on 2 G and it is far behind in quality than 3G.

MTNL 3G speed is Really superb nowadays.
I can enjoy all channels at just Rs. 150.
The main fact about the service is that you can enjoy Live TV without any interruption.
If you are also using Data plan than download youtube software. In this software you can watch all videos without taking any time.
Really Superb.
