New Internet Schemes

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

 

Was just going thro all the messages here, we could save

pretty much and have better internet access now , there are now new

schemes from BSNL and Reliance which makes browsing cheap ( BSNL) and

fast ( Reliance).

 

 

 

 

The BSNL scheme works out to Rs.499 per month , where in all the

calls made to the local ISP Number you specify are free, you will be

charged only Browsing charges ( varies from 5-10 per hour depending on

the pack you buy). This would be very effective for our browsing

center and we can bring down the hourly charges. to Rs.15 - Rs.20 an

hour. ( guess laloo knows about this better)

 

 

 

 

The ISDN Line works out to cost somewhere around Rs.50 an hour for a

mere 64 Kbps connection , reliance has got a FWT unit which works on

CDMA - LG 250P , this wireless terminal works on 3G and has a data

transfer rate of 114 kbps, infact people using it say they can get

downloads @ 60-70 Kbps, which is almost twice as that of the ISDN

setup. It costs around Rs.22 an hour including call and ISP charges.

The unit can be bought with a deposit of Rs.1000 and an activation fee

of 800. The best part of it is u can take it around the colony and

still upload and download stuff from it. All it requires to connect to

the PC is a RS232C serial cable that can be made or bought in ritchee

street for Rs.150. It is very easy to configure as it runs as a

standard modem in any windows machine ( though i havent tried it in

linux, it shld wrk there 2 ) . It is actually a stand alone telephone

with FAX/Data ports,battery backup in it.

 

 

 

 

I guess people using the net extensively here in India can avail of

these schemes and get better mileage from them,
