Hmm.. VSNL (Tata indicom) has been providing DSL services (therefore through phone line) for a while now. Airtel started this (DSL) some time ago too and even in my office area they provide the service. As does MTNL. Reliance also provides broadband service but in some areas.
TATA/AIRTEL provide bundled services which includes land line and internet.
AHAAHAHHAHAHHAAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHH!! hehehehe.... TATA hahahahahahahahaahhahahahahhaahHAHAHAHHA!!! Ahem...I'll control myself now =P
TATA b***** chors A** *****!! They are NO competition to MTNL.
Talking about Airtel. Well Airtel is SO slow in deploying it network that I dont think they'll be even penetrating 0.00000000001% of Mumbai in the next 100 years. The place where I live, Airtel has been "trying" to wire up for the past 2.5 years. Yes people 2.5 years of which last 2 years I've been waiting for them to wire up my building...
Dont even get me started about Reliance and them stringing their fibre on the street light poles.
Even if Ambani, Ratan Tata and Mittal come together and apply 100% of their resources in competing with MTNL I dont think they'll even get 100 new subscribers. Heh...
The only thing going for TATA and for AIRTEL is that they provide unlimited plans (however sucky). But MTNL rules.
Yup but their speed seriously suck. Not to mention the downtime. Pathetic after sales. Faulty billing. And the list goes on =P
Now that airtel is in mumbai too and gaining ground, its a matter of time before mtnl will come up with unlimited plans.
Read my first argument. Airtel stands no chance against these sarkari babus ;)
