That's fantastic. But I guess earlier news was of BSNL only. MTNL haven't announcement it yet.

Yes the news was already shared I guess. Both the government players are providing 2mbps speed. Also there are talks of merging BSNL and MTNL

I am getting Siti broadband. Getting BSNL is still pain in the ass. It's been 3-4 days and they are yet to call me.

 

[IndianMascot]

Good. Finally you are getting some broadband.

Upgraded 2 mbps speed will be only for 1st gb only after 1gb use it will be back again to 512kbps so not much of a use...

So the speed cap is after 1gb..in today's scenario, 1gb is not enough.
