the 495 plan or the 599 plan's are pretty good value for money, the 495 plan ends in 5 days.
495 plan: zero rental for landline, 320kbps to 2 mbps burst speed unlimited download. (Me getting upto 245KB/sec in low traffic times)
599 plan: 512 kbps unlimited. Again has burst speeds to 2Mbps (No landline rental included)
The plans above have speed limits of 320Kbps and 512Kbps respectively.
Rs.999 plan 1Mbps unlimited. Throughput is minimum 1Mbps and more often than not 2Mbps. I have been downloading distros galore - Sidux, Karmic, Elive (Enlightenment) etc. Two really irritating features of MTNL 1) If the modem disconnects, ever so often it wont reconnect without a cold boot (or unplug / replug MTNL line). Solution is to use a one darlington transistor connected to lpt or serial and controlled by a script, to power up/down automatically 2) Login failure due to "incorrect password" - usually once a month. This one will require a call to the local exchange DE and specifically tell him about login server. Usually resolved in an hour. The reason for the failure M$ login server at MTNL needing updates. Going thru the call center will give you ulcers and will take a week.
