A TOUGH CHOICE - bsnl dataone vs cable internet

Hi everyone,

It has almost been a month that i have been using dataone broadband internet connection plan 500 on my destop computer. I took initially plan 500 (which has datacap of 1 GB/month) to test bsnl services. I m pretty satisfied with it. Plan 500 has speed of 256 kbps and datacap of 1 gb and costs rs 500 monthly.

Now I am in a dilemma. From last two years I was having cable internet which is unlimited monthly package and costs rs 750 and has speed of 64 kbps (claimed where actual is 40 kbps).

Now I am in a fix as I really love now the speed of bsnl dataone with no downtime in last one month I have been using it. Downloading any software or browsing multiple pages simultaneously is fast, easy and hassle free.

The main questions is:

Q. SHOULD I surrender cable internet and go for a higher plan of dataone (as my requirements are more than present 1 GB cap per month) ??????????

However, surrendering cable internet would mean that I am relying soloely on bsnl (a govt service which i fear). Also getting cable internet reinstalled at a later stage would be tough should there be a need.

What is ur advice / opinion / suggestion ????

Have u experienced any down time with dataone bsnl in ur city (i am from kolkata) if yes how long and how frequent???

What alternative plan u keep should ur primary ISP is unavaiable at any time???????

(I am looking for either home 1000 or Business 1200 plan....plz see the following link http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm )

Plz feel free to express ur opinion as I have to decide on this really fast as bcz due date for cable internet advance monthly bill is two days away.

thanks and regards,
