Coorg Trip
We recently went for a Trip to Coorg on the Jan 26 weekend. It was an interesting trip because it happened in a very unplanned manner. We have been thinking for sometime to go out, go on a long drive, go somewhere sorts. So we thought, we will go for a day long trip on Jan 26 weekend, starting on Saturday morning and coming back on the same day. And we finalized on Hogenekkal for this day long trip. Saturday morning came and we started for Hogenekkal, we heard that there was no good place to eat around Hogenekkal so we packed lots of food as well. When we reached the Silk Board Flyover (Bangalore), a discussion started and this idea to drive to Coorg instead was thrown in and everyone agreed. We had no stuff to change to for the overnight halt, no hotel bookings and no places decided, I had just browsed thru a traveler's guide the last night, noted a few places (in mind) in Coorg and then I forgot picking that book up in the morning haste. By the time we decided to go to Coorg inst

I was looking for info on BSNL in Bangalore and came across your Blog. I'm currently working in the US and am trying to see if I can work from home in Bangalore for a couple of months. I was wondering if you know anybody who is using the Home 1000, 1800 or 3300 plans. Was also wondering if could please let me know your thoughts on:
1. How long it takes to get a connection
2. Can one really get the upload and download speeds advertised...what are the typical upload speeds
3. How reliable is the connection.
Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!

I use Home 1000 plan now, was using Home Unlimited till Jan.
1. BSNL has a long waiting list now for dataone connections. A friend of mine residing in Rajrajeshwari Nagar area was mentioning a waiting list of 900 there. It varies from place to place I believe so the number may change depending on which area you want to relocate to.
2. The upload/download speeds are generally advertised as upto 2Mbps. I have not seen 2Mbps till now but usually 1.5Mbps speed is there.
3. Connection is mostly there. I live in BTM area and I find it always on. There has not been any single problem from BSNL side till date.
There are various online broadband forums now, and it may help if you check the feedback of users in those forums as well.
HTH.
