  1. Hi,
    You have not included 2 plans in bsnl 3g
    1) 103 plan ( 250 MB ,val 30 days)
    2) 2003 plan ( 22 GB ,val 30 days)

    Apart from that you haven't included AIRTEL flexi shield plan 675 ( After 1.25GB, VBC of 2p/100KB upto a max shield (amount) of Rs 2000. Post hitting the shield value, enjoy free unlimited browsing at 20Kbps speed, validity 30 days.

    Thanks for the info regarding idea double data offer, initially this offer was for some period i.e. july 31st now it has been extended.

    Apart from vodafone which is giving 3g speeds on 2g recharges we also have airtel giving 3g speeds on 2g recharges right from 5rs plan to 251 plan. It's unofficially though.

    Regards,
