By profession, Atul is a faculty at Shivangi College located in Guna district of Madhya Pradesh. His basic need of using internet is limited up to surfing internet for his study-oriented work and calling to his family living in his hometown via Skype. Prior to using Guna Wireless Network, he was using 3G monthly plan of Rs. 950. However, he was not satisfied with the services as internet connectivity happened to slow down within 5 to 6 days of recharge.
Last year, after hearing about Guna Wireless network, he decided to give it a try, and initially took a monthly plan of Rs. 500 which offered him unlimited download. He says, “Now, I am able to use YouTube and Skype on a daily basis which I was not able to do earlier as it was costing me Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 6,000 per month with other operators. For now, connectivity is not that much an issue apart from some occasional glitches because of weather.”
