Friends which is better option between wifi dongle and broadband? usage will be less than 20gb per month. speed required is just so that videos do not buffer. inclined towards dongle as it can be kept anywhere.

do jio, chortel etc. provide special plans for dongle if their dongle is bought? like jio has max 12gb plan for sims, is the same plan applicable for dongle? please guide.

Bsnl fibre all round winner and superb service. Sometime they inject adds for their own services  

Jio fibre ok but not for gaming , horrible ping issues and random horny sites blocked .Also Jio does deep packet inspection and shares same ip to multiple users, not to mention their cow dung customer support 

Local tv wala fibre cheap but faces downtime (depends on location)

Ignore dongle

I would only advice to use WiFi dongle aka WINGLE as you have the option to change sim card anytime. With broadband who will first disconnect one and go for another. Installation hassles.

Check speed of every operator in ur area. Then choose the one which remains good between 8 AM – 10 PM. Get an unlocked wingle but Band 1 / Band 41 support wingles are very less. Mostly they support Band 3/5/40 and some 1/3/40.

Jio/Airtel does not have standalone data only plans. you need a base plan in addition to the data plan. So overall cost will be higher.

Only Vi has standalone data only plan that works without any base plan. Vi also has unused data rollover if you recharge within original validity. You can use 118 plan for 12GB – 28 days or 418 plan for 100GB- 56 days.

If you intend to use 24/7, better to opt for a powered desktop sim based router than a dongle.

check with ur area people about fibre.. then decide.  dongles are good , and has flexibility, but now a days no one is giving good speed.

Dongle are good but prices are high and speed won’t be good too.

Look for any local fiber you  might get a decent plan in similar rate.

For your usage Dongle would work the best. Choose a mobile operator that gives constant speed upward of 2-5 Mbps at the minimum and you should be good. You can mostly expect upward of 10 Mbps in most cases depending on where you live. Coming to plans, the dedicated data packs would work out to be expensive even if they are available and hence I would suggest choosing the regular 84 day kind of plan. 

Any decent broadband/fiber plan would cost upward of ₹300 per month. Do the math and you would find prepaid mobile data works out cheaper.
