Cheapest Broadband in Kolkata / Calcutta
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkMonday, October 22, 2007
While comparing broadband packages from Tata Indicom and BSNL Dataone, I came across the revised pricing of another provider with whom I have a love-hate relationship. My last experience with them was ok.
I am talking about Alliance Broadband, a cable based broadband service provider in Kolkata. Their Zoom pack compares favorably with comparable offerings from Tata Indicom & BSNL Dataone. Both Tata / VSNL & BSNL are priced at around Rs. 1000 for unlimited (upload and download data limit) 256 Kbps plan. In contrast the Zoom Pack is priced at Rs. 499 (+ tax) and provides same unlimited 256 Kbps connection speed.
Their Super Executive Pack offers unlimited (download & upload data limit) 640 Kbps speed at 1399.
I think these plans compares favorably with any other broadband plans in eastern India. It can be considered for home usage and would make a nice backup plan for business to provide redundant connectivity and failover. I am thinking of adding it to my dual internet connectivity setup with BSNL Dataone & Tata Indicom Broadband to increase reliability and aggregate bandwidth of my internet connection.

I am using Alliance Services ( Sulekha Zone,Jadavpur ). As service provider they are very bad. I am seekinking for change my internet connection and will prefer BSNL 500 Home Plan. It seems very good to me. |

Allinace broadband is completely depending upon franchises I mean your local cable operator. If they happy to help you then take it otherwise it can be miserable for you. Because maximum problem happens from local zone. If they want to work it will not be very big problem else it will feels like heal. |
