It depends on where you spend your time. If you stay in a big city like Mumbai, Bangalore etc. it would probably last a few months (anywhere between 3-6 months). If you go to a smaller city or towns, you can easily live a year on that money.

I have been looking at the bandwidth availability in Bangalore and was wondering how easy it is to get 1-2 mbps up/down minimum around 12th Main, Indiranagar, HAL 2nd Stage. I have been thinking of spending a couple of months there, and it would be a lot easier if my video conferencing tools worked ok, and they need 1-2 mbps.

You can try airtel/tata-indicom broadband - they would install in 2 days time. Will cost you around $20 for unlimited upload/download plan. night unlimited plans would suit you well if your video conferences are going to be IST night. Speed: though the service providers mention these as 2Mbps they really would not be more than 40KBps on avg and be prepared to be annoyed with disruptions once in a while and their annoying customer support.
