Connectivity

Can anyone recommend broadband, telephone and mobile providers? As a starter, I've been browsing the Airtel website and I'm thoroughly confused by the mobile tariffs (what is this "pulse" business?)

A pulse is like the meter of a cab. Depending on the destination and some times time of call it can be incremented every second or seconds or minutes.
For example a local call in Delhi is a 3 minute pulse.
What kind of broad band service you are looking for? Wireless or fixed line. Would you be using it while travelling?

Thanks, but I still don't understand it (duh!) Airtel mention a pulse rate of 60 seconds in their pre-paid tariff table, but show charges per minute. In the post-paid plans a pulse rate isn't mentioned at all.

Anyone know of a particular provider/plan that offers good rates to UK landlines & mobiles?

I use Tata-Indicom in Hyderabad, speed is 2Mbps, I have never had any connection problems and it costs 1550/- per month. You can pay the bills online as well (using a local bank account)
