What to Check Before Committing
Ask for a speed test result (not just the plan speed). Confirm power backup — Bangalore still has occasional cuts. Check for phone booths if you are on calls regularly. Almost all major operators offer a free trial day — use it.
Backup Cafes
Third Wave Coffee — multiple locations, reliable WiFi, laptop-friendly. Blue Tokai (Indiranagar, Koramangala) — specialty coffee, good seating. Matteo Coffea — best espresso in the city. Social — loud but functional, good WiFi.
Bottom Line
Start with a free trial day at BHIVE or 91Springboard. Upgrade to WeWork or CoWrks if you need a polished client-facing backdrop.
