Hi, As many of you probably know, nowadays, I spend Tuesday to Saturday outside Kolkata in my college hostel. I take my laptop to my hostel, but I am yet to find a way to connect to the internet from the hostel. Of late, I have been looking at the various options, and GPRS seems to be the only viable one. We get BSNL (Sarisha tower) in the hostel, along with Airtel. My Hutch connection works, but the signal is really weak (tower is usually Diamond Harbour or Falta). Reliance does not work.
I believe Sarisha falls in the Bengal circle of BSNL (not the Kolkata one), and I don't think BSNL Bengal provides GPRS service. Airtel has something called Airtel Mobile Office which they offer at a flat rate of Rs 600 per month. http://www.airtelworld.com/16/circle_other_services.jsp Any other suggestions/experiences of people with GPRS from Airtel would be very helpful. -thanks- Sayamindu PS: My college is about 10 minutes walking distance from Sarisha, and around 20 minutes drive from Diamond Harbour/Raichak. -- All men dream: but not equally.
