Internet

Are Internet facilities readily available in India, with
particular reference to Calcutta, Varanasi, Agra, Dehli and
Mumbai?
If so, what is the usual price range?
Thanks.

   in Varanasi.

   We found a cyber-facility behind the Oberoi Towers hotel
   near Marine Drive in Mumbai. I think they wanted $4US an
   hour. That seemed to be around the going posted rate. There
   were internet access facilities all through the Colaba area
   in the IST-STD? shops. I assume Calcutta would be similar
   as well as Delhi. The facility near the Oberoi was the best
   set-up. We used it to e-mail arrival information to
   relatives before we left for Sahar (international airport)
   I forget its name, but they will direct you to it from the
   Oberoi. Tip: When you log-on go to "Hotmail" and establish
   a free account so you don't expose your personal server's
   passwords to god only knows who over there.

   hi ,
   internet is readily available in all parts of india .
   Mumbai leads the rest of the country in this too.Here we
   have three big ISPs namely VSNL , MTNL & Satyam .With VSNL
   you can have the facility of global roaming as well viz.
   Anybody who has an account elsewhere can use it being in
   india also .VSNL ,the pioneer in interent services in India
   is quite ahead of others in other cities too.
   if u want anymore info , u can mail me.

   All British Councils/British Libraries in India have a "cyber center" usually open to non-members. And virtually any place on the tourist trail seems to offer some internet access

   Don't rely on anything being readily available in india nor
   working for that matter!
