Experience with MTNL Triband!. Review on MTNL Triband ADSL

I have had MTNL for about an year and so I have thoroughly tested it. So here the review goes.

Frustrated by Tata Plug2Surf plug-in , I was in the market for a new internet connection.

Options were

• Reliance

  
  




• Tata

  
  




• MTNL

  
  




• Local internet providers

  
  

Why did I want to change my internet connection?

• The speed . Horrible . It was only 128 kbps

  
  




• The plug-in had broken and it used to disconnect at times.

  
  




• I couldn't do video or voice calls due to the speed

  
  

What did I want from my internet connection?

• Speed . (Main)

  
  




• Reliability

  
  




• Shouldn't be a heavy drain on the wallet

  
  




• Ability to make voice and video calls

  
  

Why did I choose MTNL?

I chose MTNL as I have had a horrible experience with Reliance and Tata . So , both were cut out of the list. The contenders - MTNL & Local Provider . I called the local provider salRajeev_Vermarson . They weren't showing any interest and the plans weren't VFM. Shooed the salesman . Then , called up MTNL . They were courteous and also recommended me few plans . I chose

• Unlimted Internet with 512 kbps speed @ day and 1 kbps speed @ night plan with 20 or 25( not sure )  free minutes with landline for Rs.499. It was a VFM package.

Installation process

We made the payment and also opted for Wi-Fi router for Rs.600. The person set up the connection but took a lot of time . We got the router late as the stock was over.

Experience till now

The experience is good till now. Sometimes , it ( the internet connection ) stops working and starts working after 1/2 hr. But the speed is satisfactory and we havent encountered any problems till now. Also , the Wi-Fi router is VFM compared to the other routers in the market .

Would I recommend this to you?

I would but I can't give guarantee about reliablity as it depends on the area you live.

Thanks for reading
