Internet over cable at 360 rupees for a 512 kbps line from Tata!

This is pretty awesome. Tata has started to offer Broadband Internet over Cable in Mumbai. The project is planned to spread to around 30 cities in the coming 2 years. The Tata Indicom Cable link from Chennai to Singapore is currently being worked upon and is expected be completed in few weeks time giving Tata the punch it needs.

The offering is initially planned to be on prepaid bases which is the norm in the cable internet market. The incredible part is the prices. Tata is reportedly charging just Rs. 360 per month for a speed of 512kbps. Nothing is reportedly mentioned on the data transfer limit. This is way below the prevailing rates in the market compared to other players.

ZDNet reports:

According to Tata, the new wave of broadband is being pursued with the objective of providing total connectivity. “We will pursue the triple play voice, data and video in this changing scenario,” he explained. Tata described the telecom scene in India as “vicious” and said it was necessary for VSNL to offer high quality services at the best price.

Well, I just cannot wait for this service to come to my city! This just might become the so called Broadband services killer… One of whom I have!

Hmmm...I was thinking of getting a broadband connection from Sify last month. Since they're the only people in offering this in Mohali(Near Chandigarh). I dropped the idea, after going through your blog. Now I'll wait for Tata. :)

Checked on Tata Indicom's site for more info to tell Neeraj but it seems that they don't have this scheme nor any prices for broadband listed. But then again - that's Tata for you! :smile:

i think it will take some more time to get public. they must be testing in a limited area. this is wat i like about tata, they dont go public without testing. sify on the other hand was a mess in the beginning. it still is.

True broadband means unlimited downloads and uploads. Countries like US, England, France are going have ADSL reaching 8-10 mbps for affordable rates starting from 40 dollars a month to a max of 60 dollars a month. Why do we have limits on how much we can download, India must be the only country in the world which can have a broadband package having speed of 32 kbps. Come on guy bloody wake up 32 kbps for broadband is lower than the modem speed. The world evolves but India goes backwards. India Shining.

well i think right now tata indicom is providing very limited broadband services and that too at not "too" cheap prices. the package which i know of is that at 360rupees per month u get some limited hours and a download limit of some 300mb.
unlimited internet access without any limit to upload or download is at a price of rs 6000 rupees per month.
installation charges are rs 2500 for the first month.
well after seeing this offer i find Touchtel DSL offer much better but the drawback is that it is available only in certain regions of delhi like lajpat nagar.

Nope, not 999 now. Touchtel has cut prices, its now 600+99, pretty cool concidering the fact that sify charges 615+200 along with maintainence charges and still gives a crappy 20 Kbps, touchtel DSL, now renamed as airtel broadband gives pure 64 Kbps

Broadband is now gonna be real cheap..... Now ISPs like sify pay the govt(VSNL) for the MBs downloaded.Hence there is a restriction to the MBs oe could download on high speed broadband connections(Not so much high-speed though) But soon govt is going to introduce new bandwidth related prices according to a policy. After this the rates would be somewhat comparable to those in states.

SIFY should actually pay to the customers who take their connection. Right now I am in Delhi and surfing through sify, the system keeps dropping time and again.....its like dear old Vajpayeeji with his longer and longer pauses........and then it surpasses Vajpayeeji and goes total phut!

Why are such ISP providers not banned through a legislation is beyond me!

airtel has been my best friend since the last 1 month. but its a very complicated question to answer as the service and quality might differ from area to areas.

I have subscribed for Data one ADSL some 40 days ago.Not yet arrived.I live in chennai,TN.Though it was expected as it is our dear indian govt's project,but the pathetic thing is when ever i call the cust-service(none exist by that name)they manage to give me this crap all the time. It seems that there is a severe shortage of equipments ie modems.They only get 5-6 modem pieces every month.Don't know it's tru or not.They say that india is not ready for such huge project and doesn't have the infra-structure for that.My cool 3K Bucks are with them.Waiting and don't know when i will get one.But the biggest fear is wonder how the service would be after i get one.

Is this one of our politians stupid gimmicks.Are we ready for such big projects.DO we have to go throught his to get one god-damn Dsl connection.
