Are you sure it is 500$ - 1000$ a month or 500Rs - 1000Rs a month? Which part of India are you talking about?

I live in Hyderabad and I get 100mbps unlimited for just 2000Rs per month (which is approximately 30$ per month). You can check the tariff page for proof: http://www.actcorp.in/personal/fibernet/plans

I think you were ripped off by a local ISP who cheated you with really high rates just because you are a foreigner.

What do you mean "unlimited"? It's not unlimited. There's a data cap after 300GB of usage on the Rs. 1999 plan being offered.

I'm not a foreigner. I live in Lucknow, India and this is what my options are right now.

In the case of Airtel, "upto 16Mbps" means that maximum 4Mbps due to "technical restrictions."

You're lucky that you're getting that kind of a connection. Hyderabad, Bangalore, Delhi and Kolkata are probably the only cities in India where one can get that kind of a connection without trouble.
