Comparison between Tata Indicom, Airtel and Reliance broadbands
These three companies mentioned above have been late entrants in the Indian broadband scene (compared to BSNL and VSNL) but have grown since then to become three significant players in the field. I will try to compare their services as per my experience.
RELIANCE : I had a reliance 600kbps connection a few months back.
pros: very good connection. used to get perfect bandwidth most of the time. At night it even registered
speeds like 80KB/s and never used to go below 60-65KB/s. Online video streaming was completely smooth.
cons: If something did go wrong they won’t respond to your complaints for days on end. Actually that was
finally the reason I had to unsubscribe.
Update1 
25th Aug): Here we have someone really complaining about reliance customer service.
It used to cost me Rs.1600/month( from BTM layout Bangalore)
For reliance and finding it was tough Please visit here and find out your own plans.
TATA : Currently I have a TATA wimax connection at 384kbps.
pros: Can’t find any.( From BTM layout Bangalore)
@Arkid : I however had a TATA INDICOM connection and it worked absolutely brilliant. The only problem was when it got disconnected, their people donot respond that easily ( From Aundh,Pune)
cons: The speeds are pathetic. Sometimes during rush hours (read 7PM – 11PM) bandwidth falls below 10KB/s. We have complained repeatedly to no avail. Besides it disconnects at it’s own whim at all sorts of odd times. Imagine you have placed a large file for download and disconnects midway, or even worse at 95%.( from BTM layout Bangalore)
I’m shelling out Rs.1100/month for this

AIRTEL : I haven’t had the opportunity to try it out personally. I have seen it at a friends place. My friend has an airtel turbo connection, which provides 512kbps in the morning and 1mbps at night.
pros: excellent connection. My friend gets nearly the entire promised bandwidth all the time, and the 1mbps
at night is really cool. best connection i have seen.
cons: coverage is very limited. I am one such unfortunate person whose area doesn’t come under it’s coverage.
It’s costing him Rs.1300/month for this.( from BTM layout,Bangalore)
@Arkid : I have a similiar connection in Andheri Mumbai, and even I agree it works out brilliant ( Andheri East, Mumbai)
