Yes Mr. Praveen. For the heavy usage like 10s of hours BSNL is NOT
CHEAP. I agree. For a user like me who use to browse at home for 1 or 1
1/2 hour for a day (rest of the hour spent in office.. :) :) ), this
would be a better choice since there is no huge initial cost of
installation. Performance also very good.

It seems to be costlier connection when compared with BSNL. BSNL
offers second telephone line for existing landline phone subscribers.
This second line is dedicated only for Internet. You can use BSNL
NetOne Accountless Internet package with this line.
No installation charges.
Monthly rental of Rs 499/- or Rs 399/- depends on your telephone
exchange irrespective of usage.
Your NetOne charges will be extra at the rate of Rs 6 per hour of
connection.
Unlimited download.
24 hours available. (i.e NO TIME LIMIT or BANDWIDTH LIMIT).
Download speed is 4 to 5 KB/Sec consistently. At worst case it is 2.5
KB/Sec.
I don't think Sify is costlier than BSNL.
Justification:
Assuming you are online for 10 hours a day, your Netone charges will
be INR. 1800 (300x6). Also you have to pay INR. 499 for the phone line
which put together comes to INR. 2299 which is nearly four times the
rate of Sify.
PS: If you assume that you are online for 24 hours a day, the amount
is even more higher. Please correct me if I am wrong. Sridhar is using
this connection. He can give a bigger picture on this.
