hi

ok so i will be in india for 6mths from October and need to get mobile broadband for my laptop. From the reliance site it says you need a registered address in india? Can tourists get it with out this?

Which connection would be best?

You too can get it. They'll need photocopy of passport. Two passport size Pics and yes a proof of local address (Hotel/Guest House will do).........

oh right so just like getting a Indian Sim card then.

Thanks

Do you know which would be the best provider?

Reliance and Airtel have good presence and speed, though BSNL/MTNL is the way to go if you are going to remote areas.

There is no Airtel broadband coverage in Goa. Mobile speeds are cr@p here!
