Broadband nirvana in Bangalore

| No Comments

I recently got myself an Internet broadband connection through Airtel. So far, I am quite satisfied with their service. I opted for their 8 Mbps plan (something that is unimaginable a few years back) for 1299/- per month. Ten years back, I got my first taste of Internet through a phone modem with a speed of 9 Kbps - and yes, I was using a text based browser. 8Mbps is a far cry from that!

To give you an idea of how much bandwidth I am 'really' getting, I have captured a screen shot of 'Aritel speed test utility' running on my browser over my home WiFi.

As you can see, I am not really getting 8 Mbps :) Following is their tariff:

Hope this helps in making your decision on choosing a broadband provider in Bangalore.
