Broadband connections in Bangalore

I have joined Sun microsystems recently and have shifted to Bangalore in middle of January. Being a geek and obligations towards job, made me look for the broadband connections like DSL type. Then on my consultations with people at office anduser reviews on different operators in Bangalore at Mouthshut.com led to these conclusions. When ever , I am looking for the Broad band connection, I will to check out on following parameters.
  • Customer Support
  • Speed
  • Reliability
  • Installation time + charges
  • Prices / month.
In Bangalore , Airtel , BSNL , TATA INDIcom , HathWay , Zee next, SIFY and Local operatorsare the main players in this household market. From the user reviews,
  • speed + reliability : Airtel , BSNL , TATA , others.
  • customer support: Airtel , TATA , others, BSNL.
  • installation time + charges : Airtel (max week), TATA(20 days - max) , others , BSNL (2 months)
  • prices per month : Airtel (700 - unlimited) , BSNL (900 - Unlimited) , TATA (dint find out) , others
So Airtel is the best available as of now in bangalore. But hard luck , the feasibility in my region is problem for J.P. Nagar area. :-( . So now running after other operators. :-) ... Let us see how long it will take to find a good internet connection for my home place. Two of the User's reviews and tips at Mouthshut.com are posted here Which you might find it useful.
