Broadband Services in India
Well its not easy to get a good broadband connection, its very easy though to get a bad internet service provider.
I have used almost every ISP in my area. My first ISP was vsnl then mtnl .. well it was dialup then.
My Broadband journey started off with Iqara Broadband now termed You Telecom.. it sucked then it sucks even better now. Regular downtime, irregular bandwidth tracking and high charges what You Telecom promises to offer you.
Then comes Sify Broadband, sify never ever was down for me, their support was also good. What really pissed me off was my cable operator, as you know these guys borrow power supply from people using their connection, if A switches off that switch, yes you are right the whole area goes down and then frequent hub failures, switch failure, cable break is what my cable operator proudly offered me.
Finally I get a Tata broadband connection, IT truly ROCKS. Amazing speed, Zero downtime and very good support. Only one bad thing.. aah we @ mumbai have a major load sharing issue due to which lights used to go off 1.5hrs in the morning and 1.5 in the afternoon, which means my internet is also switched off.
One day I get to know about Reliance Wimax ie., Reliance Broadnet, initially I had some issue setting up my linksys wireless router with it since it easily never alloted an IP address to it, but then soon that issue was also fixed.
Even if the light goes off.. my connection works very well, moreover zero downtime, amazing support is what reliance broadnet is offering me from the last 2 months.
Reliance Broadnet is what I am using as of now and its working very well. Rock on Reliance!
