BPPL, Udaipur

Bohra Pratishthan Pvt. Ltd. was the first private Internet Service provider in Udaipur. It was also the first Private IT Company to start INTERNET PROVIDERS services with Digital Lines in Rajasthan. Since 1999 it is the leading Net On Cable provider covering the entire city with more than 350Kms of cable.

Advantages–

  • The only one in Udaipur that provides WiMax services.
  • Uses latest advance equipments
  • Provides 100% backup and 99% redundancy.
  • Bandwidth from VSNL and backup Bandwidth from Reliance.

Disadvantages-

  • It is quite expensive; if connection is made to a group of computers then it charges Rs. 200(for home) and Rs. 1000(for offices and business) extra per computer.
  • Speed is less as compared to competitors.

Plans – Dial Up Tariff

Plans – Cable Net Tariff

In our Opinion:

It is expensive than everyone else but it is the only one in Udaipur that provides WiMax.

BSNL, Udaipur

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is the largest public sector Internet Service Provider Company with more than 17 Lakhs subscribers providing Internet under name of Sancharnet and more than 8.09 million customers using its broadband connection.

Advantages-

  • Wide range of plans from unlimited to limited data transfer plans.
  • With unlimited plans other services like free Email Ids, one or two Static IPs.

Disadvantages-

  • Though Services are improved yet it is slow in problem solving.
  • FUP plans are applicable on many plans.

Plans –

In our Opinion:

This is the most economical and the most used internet service amongst all.

But the main problem is that for those customers it works fine, it’s simply wow but for few unlucky ones it’s like hell and remains inactive for months.

To improve their services, they handed over the complaint department to a Private company which is quite effective and tries hard to solve the problem same day or the very next day.

Tata Photon Plus

After a huge success of Tata Photon, Tata launched a new plug and surf device with 2GB expandable memory named Tata Photon Plus. It provides up to 3.1Mbps (downlink speed) and upto1.8 Mbps (uplink speed). The device costs only Rs.1199/- and runs on Windows 98/2000/XP/7.

Plans–

In our Opinion: The speed never reaches 3.1Mbps, yet sometime in a day it crosses near about 150KBps  and the FUP policy ceases the speed to 20KBps  after data transfer limit exceeds, too slow..

If you need a portable connectivity, it is one of the good options available.

 

——

 

MTS MBlaze

An economical plug and surf device by MTS is earning popularity these days. It provides speed up to 3.1Mbps.

Plans-

In our Opinion: It is reasonable in Rs. 899 but the speed fluctuates very much like from 50 KBps to 200KBps.

 

——

 

Reliance Netconnect

Netconnect by Reliance is both postpaid and prepaid and offers a large variety of plans, so you can choose that suits you most.

Plans–

In our Opinion:

Reliance is another alternate to Tata Photon Plus. And they provide wide range of plans to suit the customers.

 

——-

 

 

Note: – The actual speed of Tata Photon Plus, MTS Blaze and Reliance Netconnect differs from what they mention. According to them it depends on several factors like time of the day, web page accessed, no. of users etc.

To enjoy 3G speed (speed upto 21.1 Mbps), mobile companies viz Idea, Vodafone, Airtel, Reliance, BSNL, Tata Docomo are providing 3G data cards. These all companies also provide 2G data plans.

  • Idea- 1GB @ Rs.95
  • Vodafone- 2GB @ Rs.98
  • Tata Docomo- 2GB @ Rs.65
  • BSNL- 2GB @ Rs.98
  • Airtel- 1GB @ Rs.98

Although unlocked 7.2Mbps 3G data cards are available in the local market under Rs.1500 that also supports 2G data plans. These data cards are very useful for the customers who don’t want high speed of Internet browsing all the time, they can flexibly recharge either 3G or 2G data plan on the same sim card according to their use and portability comes Free.

Advantages of Unlocked Data Cards:

  • 2G or 3G – Choice is yours: You can choose for 2G or 3G data plans on the same number and even can change the plan from 3G to 2G or vice versa by simply recharging that kind of internet plan.
  • Anytime you can switch between service providers for more economic plans like from Airtel to Vodafone by just changing sim.
  • You can also opt for 2G- 3G data plans of 2-3 days validity as per need.
  • Though roaming is free in several service providers, but if yours is charging then no need to pay additional charges, buy that area’s local sim and use internet.

Plans for Docomo 3G-

Plans for Idea 3G-

Plans for BSNL 3G-

In our Opinion:

BSNL provides the most reasonable plans but there is no one who seems to be responsible for providing good quality of services.

Plans for Vodafone 3G-

Plans for Airtel 3G-

Plans for Reliance 3G-

 

All above mentioned feedbacks are our own experiences; users can get even better or worse services.
