Who's BEST Internet Service Provide (ISP) ?

[akshayt]

Hi I want to buy a fast connection b/w 128-256kbps at the cost of around that of Sify?

 

[theraven]

why dont u just go in for sify ?
or just check ur nearest cable wala
the prices are cheaper than sify !
but unfortunately u get only 64 kbps unlimited ...
and no 256
in 128 ull get limited downloads ..
well atleast thats what my cable wala does
right now this is the only option for ppl who dont have many broadband ISPs in their area ... give it a shot

 

[siddharth_menon]

akshayt I think the coustom of cable wala is more common & cheaper in Mumbai. If ur in Mumbai ur sure to get it!! I don't know much about other places...

 

[siddharth_menon]

For DIAL UP users

I hope U know MTNL has offered a plan inwhich U pay Just Rs500 for unlimited access to one ISP of ur choice. This was mentioned in May Digit ED too.

 

[akshayt]

i live in new delhi and the cost diff. for my useage b/w sify vs cable is very little,sify maybe cheaper at 4times pace

 

[theraven]

then just go in for sify !

[theraven]

lol

rockyj123 I am using SIFY broadband Unlimited account, ple go back to the page 2 of this topic I have also inc the new web link.

About the shared bandwith its all lies. See right now I am the only one in my NETWORK/ LAN. So no ques of sharing BANDWIDTH. Its just an EXCUSE, with unlimited the moment U cross 1GB~2GB the very next day they reduce the speed... Mine was 256Kbps at the begining and just the second day they reduced it to 80kbps then very next day 40kbps. Now its still 40Kbps exact, even tho I don't have anbody in my LAN. They have setup new... If u ask SIFY they will simply say more users!! but now I know the truth, they are simply tring to discourage us. The very next month when I renewed, I got my speed back...

Hey bsnl is not bad....

 

[sunmysore]

how much connection speed u ppl get for sify dial up????

 

[siddharth_menon]

Once upon a time even I used SIFY dialup & use to give me 45~49Kbps connection speed!!

If ur connection speed is way below the limit, then ple check ur phoneline for disturbance.....

siddharth_menon, if you have a 256kb connection with Sify, how can they reduce your speed to below 256kbps? If Sify can't handle unlimited accounts it should stop selling them.

If all this is true, isn't Sify is using unfair practices? Aren't they just taking your money and not rendering the service you've paid for?

Maybe you should consider signing up with a different ISP or atleast consider downgrading to a 64k account.

 

[theraven]

they are all the same
or worse
this is india
wont get quality service for another 8 yrs !
( why 3 ? india is 5 yrs behind everything . so since broadband is been a norm abroad for 2 yrs ... we should take another 3 yrs !)
PS .... figures are not accurate

 

[siddharth_menon]

Well most of all Sify sell the UNLIMITED package with SHARED BANDWITH stamp & not any fixed speed. According to them the speed will depend upon how many users are using Unlimited accou at a time in a perticular group...

Well in this case the speed should vary but tats not the case. I get 40Kbps straight line graph al through out the day with little 1sec boost to 256~kbps in between..

 

[NikhilVerma]

I use BSNL and Sify both and get connection speeds of 45333 bps
And downloading speeds averaging around 5 kbps

 

[rockyj123]

4 ppl on my lan........
