3GB per day for 90 days for around 1,000 Rupees with Airtel. As a tourist Jio isn't an option, have to go pre-paid.
Not bad at all, blazing fast compared to most WiFi connections here in northern India (Himachal Pradesh).
Now if the power would stop cutting out... maybe in a few more years :)
- bluedino 8y agoHow useful is 3GB for 90 days?
- yellowflash 8y ago* per day
- kabwj 8y agoThat’s what I have. 1 GB a month. And it’s fine. Some months I don’t even use 300 MB. Just don’t watch videos and run an ad blocker.
- calvinbhai 8y ago3GB per day, so up to 270GB over 90 days. How useful is 270 GB? ;)
- virtualwhys 8y agoIt's per day, and so far has been useful enough to upgrade to Fedora 29. Updating OSX VM with Xcode on the other hand, that may take a while. Otherwise, 3GB takes you a long way, certainly enough to load Slack and maybe check out HN. \s
- adiM 8y agoA tangential point ... but power cuts in Himachal? I grew up in Himachal in the late 80s and 90s, and power cuts were extremely rare. Himachal was one of the few states that was power surplus and boasted of 100% electrification. Has this changed in recent years?
- srean 8y agoIndeed. I remember lots of micro-hydroelectric power plants. Not sure how well the power distribution infrastructure is maintained. Heck of a beautiful place.
- virtualwhys 8y agoMcleod Ganj may not have the infrastructure that the rest of Himachal does, I don't know. In the last two weeks here the power cuts out roughly 3 times per day, anywhere between 10 minutes and 2 hours, which is apparently pretty good compared to winter when weather can take power out for 24+ hours. It's not even high season yet, I imagine it will only get worse with mass influx of people stressing the already shaky grid.
