Tikona Broadband services review

Tikona Digital Networks is yet another Broadband service provider in India (see Beam tele Broadband), that is built using the 4^th Generation OFDM wireless technology. Don’t get overwhelmed by that since we are yet to see full fledge 3G in the country (forget 4G for now). Like any other player, Tikona also has limited plans (with circuit breakers) and also unlimited plans.

Tikona Broadband services

There’s absolutely nothing new or fancy about the tariff plans. Having said that, all the limited plans have a speed of 2mbps which is very good (that is up to their ISP).

The base plan starts from Rs.299 a month which gives 1000MB of free data.

Other plans are as follows:

Rs.449 plan gives free data of 1500MB

Rs.549 plan gives free data of 2500MB

Rs.999 plan gives free data of 5000MB

Rs.1249 plan gives free data of 7000MB

Any extra usage over the free data will be charged at Rs.0.80/MB except for the base plan (Rs.299 plan) for which the charge is Rs.1/MB.

The installation charges for all the plans is Rs.500 and a one time deposits of Rs.300, 500, 500, 1000 and 1500 has to paid respectively (from base plan to max plan in that order)

Unlimited plans tariff

Come unlimited plans and you’ll have to choose between the speeds that you need. The base plan starts from Rs.649/month which gives a speed of 300kbps.

Rs.899/month plan gives a speed of 600kbps and Rs.1249/month plan gives a speed of 1000kbps.

Installation charges of Rs.500 (one time) are extra for all plans.

You can also choose to pay annually, where the unlimited plan costs Rs.6000/yr which gives a speed of 300kbps.

Few good things that I like

• There is a clear ‘Guaranteed maximum bill amount’ for the Limited plans which shows the service’s openness.

• There will not be any Modem rental for any plan.

• You get a free wifi router so that you can use the broadband from any where in your house without the fuss of wires.
