I recently got myself an Internet broadband connection through Airtel. So far, I am quite satisfied with their service. I opted for their 8 Mbps plan (something that is unimaginable a few years back) for 1299/- per month. Ten years back, I got my first taste of Internet through a phone modem with a speed of 9 Kbps - and yes, I was using a text based browser. 8Mbps is a far cry from that!

To give you an idea of how much bandwidth I am 'really' getting, I have captured a screen shot of 'Aritel speed test utility' running on my browser over my home WiFi.

As you can see, I am not really getting 8 Mbps :) Following is their tariff:

Hope this helps in making your decision on choosing a broadband provider in Bangalore.

I just completed my first month at Intuit and I should say that I am thoroughly enjoying it here. There is lot of focus on innovation, both customer driven (something that Intuit has pioneered) and technology driven innovation. All of us have 10% unstructured time, where we can work on anything that is passionate to us. We also have 'IdeaJam', where we spend one full day hacking something that is really useful and cool! I have great colleagues who are passionate about what they do and are really fun to work with. I also get to learn a lot of new stuff - all in all a great place to be in!
