Great news man !!!
I am using UL750 PLAN .This new plan will be much cost saving for me
Rs 200/- a month could be saved.
Still I will wait for few month and get others reviews about his new plan of UL550..
550*0.12(SERVICE TAX )=66,
SO ,
550+66 = Rs 616/-
This is fine ..
Thank you for this post

I think Range (Network coverage) is a Problem.

I’m having Airtel 512KBps at home they are charging Rs. 1500+tax. Internet Braodband still out of reach at some places. Even at my place ( Panchkula) I have to choose between TATA indicom Dialup or Airtel Braodband which is stealing all my money.
