Hi dimers,I recently moved to a location in gurgaon with family but after checking the broadband availability there..Neither airtel nor jio giving broadband service there.I searched for local provider..Sky broadband is asking for 1500 rs router fees+1500 rs security and their plan is 500+tax for 10 mbps and 1000+tax for ..50mbps.They seems to be costly.Can someone please tell me why they are charging so high . Even Airtel provides 100 mbps in 799 rs only..please suggest some alternative if possible..

Is it unlimited plan? Will it be ADSL router that they will sell you? Can’t you buy router on your own?
I already have my own router,,will see if there is an option to us my own router which can save 1500 rs
One more think,,i just checked out that bsnl exchange is 300 metre away from me..So is it possible to get broadband connection from them..I mean if there is bsnl exchange close to me states that they provide broadband there…
Dimers,I have an update on this.. Visited bsnl office today,they are ready to install broadband at my location..They are demanding 2500 router charges+750 installation charges(3250+gst) at the time of application…And further,i have to pay one month advance rental as security in first month bill…Are these charges ok?
That is way cheaper than what they quoted me. Get on it asap. They asked almost 6k from me.
Plan i have opted for is 599+gst for 60mbps till 3300gb and 2 mbps after data exhaust..
Is it fiber net (BSNL)?
Yes bsnl bjarat fiber
Don’t go with bsnl. Staff hi nehi hey bsnl key pass.
If RailWire Is Available Then Go With RailWire… Presently I’m Using RailWire Broadband 50 MBPS Pack… Charge 530 (1000 GB / Month)
And The Best Part Is Unused Balance Will Added To Next Month’s Pack…
Haven’t used bharat fiber but it is supposed to be pretty good. charges seems ok.
What is your average data requirements? How good is Jio mobile at that location? For normal user, taking a Jio SIM and using it with TPLink MR600 can work out cheaper. Initial cost of router will be high though.
@panchabhut
Mobile data should never be compared with broadband. Do not suggest to use mobile data who is wanting to use broadband please.

BSNL fiber experience:
https://telecomtalk.info/community/bsnl-broadba...
I have been using Fiber for the past 3 years (currently on Jio Fiber). I believe BSNL fiber will be good too.
Also maybe BSNL cc/staff is not that good, but still it will be better than the local fiber lines, at least there’s a process for raising complaints and all.
Only thing coming to mind is.. your security deposit might not be easy to take out in future if needed.
Bro actually i need it for work from home..so mobile data is not an option

I am having Airtel VDSL Broadband at home with Jio SIM through MR600 as backup. My wife and daughter are both working/schooling from home for the last 8 months. Based on the experience, I can confirm that JIO SIM with 2CA always have given better speeds than Airtel VDSL, both downloads and uploads. Airtel VDSL gives around 5-6 Mbps UL and 40-50 Mbps DL. JIO SIM provides 18-20 Mbps UL and 75-80 Mbps DL with CA on Band 3+40.
JIO worked without a problem even after super cyclone while Airtel was down for almost a week.
Yes I know, I have used jio on jiofi, airtel 4g on airtel Wi-Fi device .. but once you start using broadband, you’ll get way better stability even if you need just 10Mbps. Not bothered about speed.
Now if there’s no options, then only use wireless options.
So how much you ended up paying for BSNL FTTH?
4000
applied for bsnl fiber. The connection is not even installed but they already billed for the first month’s bill.
Galat jahah phas gaye ho. Why not Jio/Airtel fibre?
check for netplus
finally the franchise installed it. What they said is due to lack of modem availability delay(10days) occurred. Bdw i applied online, Never set a foot in bsnl or any office. Kudos to the assigned bsnl officer he managed everything.
I applied 1k plan but they gave a 499 plan, but good thing is that they mentioned 30mbps but getting 60-70mbps…..
Charges are fine…I paid 4000 and security will be added to first bill..taken 449 plan which is providing 30mbps till 3300 gb
