multinet doesnt have wireless coverage...

@ptcl... never used it myself, but according to ppl using it u get similar speeds as of a dial-up connection

@telenor... not sure about there post-paid package, but pre-paid costs a lot... i finished a frnds 50rs credit in arnd 20min:P

p.s: we'll be getting wireless net from wateen/buraq but in 3-4 months... so that wont suit u.
