MTNL to buy Internet bandwidth for international traffic
Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. ( MTNL ), which is one of the Top Internet Service provider ( ISP ) in India wants to buy Extra Internet bandwidth for international traffic from Bharti Airtel Ltd. and Tata Communications Ltd.
As par a notice on MTNL’s website, “Bharti Airtel will sell 10,710 million bits per second of bandwidth for MTNL’s Delhi operations and 7,000 Mbps for Mumbai whereas Tata Communications will sell 4,590 Mbps for MTNL’s Delhi services and 3,000 Mbps for its Mumbai operations.”
According to MTNL both companies will sell the Bandwidth at INR 1,614 per Mbps for Delhi whereas in Mumbai it is INR 1,586 per Mbps without 10.3% service tax.[ad code =1 align=center]

MTNL is a sister concern company of BSNL and comes under Central Govt… The customer base of MTNL is nearly 5.92 million. And from past few years the graph is going down even if the Indian Govt. is spending too much of huge amount to uplift the customer base, but still the graph is going down and the main reason is their “GREAT SERVICES”. The MTNL lineman don’t have enough idea to configure even a modem and to solve a single complaint they take nearly 1 month or more because the don’t have enough workforce and the coverage area is very big. And when you see the MTNL exchange you become shocked to see their exchange, made of HUWIA equipments, and when you see the AIRTEL exchange you will find Ericson equipments just because the cost of HUWAI equipments are nearly half then Ericson.
Basically they have two type of exchange one is for 256 Kbps and one for above 256Kbps, if you buy plan for above 256 then you may get good response because for that only they use Ericson exchange.
I raised my voice at Consumer Court and submitted a online complaint and found that I am not one who is facing the problems with MTNL “consumercourt.in/broadband/1-mtnl-broadband.html” here you can check the details of complaints.
I don’t know why the Govt. change the plan to get more customer and spend a huge amount in ads, the salary of lineman is nearly 15000/-, I think this is a total waste. Customers are very much frustrated from MTNL. If you visit the MTNL exchange you will find many customers shouting on the Area Manager. MY personal experience with MTNL was pathetic and now I switched to another services provider and now I am very much satisfied.

Hardly any article can be more ridiculous than this let alone the technological ignorance. First, MTNL is a PSU not the government and is a separate legal entity. 2nd, MTNL has been the leader in technological innovation and new launches. Perhaps, it is pertinent to mention here that, MTNL was worldwide 2nd player to launch broadband ADSL+ and first in India. The ignorance is evident with the fact that writer couldn’t write correct spelling of Huwai let alone the knowledge about technological depth of kbps. To provide some understanding MTNL is again the first to launch High speed VDSL technology enabling 20 Mbps download and it’s STM -4 and STM – 64 OFC connectivity have the capability of giving more than 64 Mbps once OFC last mile connectivity is in place. As far as lineman is concerned, being a PSU it can’t dump it’s employee. SOme may term it MTNL inefficiency and some term it social security . You being ignorant may term the way you want. My personal experience about MTNL has been very good and as far as consumer complaints are concerned, i see them more towards Relialince and Airtel cheat to customers.
