I would recommend the unlimited 256 kbps plan from Airtel. I've had a really good experience with it (billing, customer care, uptime). My brother has BSNL Home 900 and while his standards are lower, he's happy with it. He's never called customer care and he just grins and bears it through downtime... My colleague at work has one the 2 Mbps ones from BSNL and he's pretty kicked about the while thing. If I stuck to my usual download habits, it would work out to about 5k a month for me (90p per MB over 1 GB). Dialup with VSNL hasn't changed over the 10 years that I've had it. -- Alok Battle, n.: A method of untying with the teeth a political knot that will not yield to the tongue. -- Ambrose Bierce

I closed my ICICI Bank account when it became impossible to use their Internet banking website with Firefox. I even sent a letter (regular mail, addressed to the branch manager) telling him that the non-FF-friendly website was the only reason I'm closing the account (with some rant about them not supporting FF indicative of their disregard for the safety of MY money). Not that it would have given KV Kamath many sleepless nights, but I suppose every little bit helps. Binand

We're stopping for a few days in Singapore before arriving in Bangalore so we'll hopefully be calibrated as to what authentic Malaysian and Singaporean food should be like...

Re: [silk] How stupid..
We are having similar problems with Firefox incompatibilty,with our stockbrokers' software not running on Linux, but only on Macrohard. We are in dialogue with them about it...but nothing is happening very fast, as you can imagine. No, we can't close down our stockbrokers' account Meanwhile, my two bits...the first two letters of VSNL stand for Very Sad. The L would stand for a word I think of often when I see the quality of their service, but which, being a refined, old-fashioned lady, I don't know. BSNL broadband is better and I find their customer service is...up to now, anyway...decently OK. It's enough for my limited needs. It does help that the BSNL broadband office is 5 min walk from home, and that I just took my laptop across on the two occasions that I needed help. Deepa.

I regularly use Firefox (Windows XP) for net banking on the ICICI Bank site. You may want to have a re-look. The website is funny, I used to use Firefox for more than a year with ICICI, and then it stopped wotking for me and I had to always use IE. It was a strange cookie caching error that never occurred before, even when my browser had a clean cookie cache it would refuse a logon unless I was on IE. I wonder what gives... Cheeni
