Hi,
Need ur suggestions guys.

Alliance or PMPL Meghbela or Sifi ?
Which local ISP is better ?
I know its mostly depend on LCO but still. :cry:
Which of the following plan is better under Rs.500/- per month ?
1.STARTER PLUS 300kbps all day (Alliance @399+tax)
2.JET Classic 256/2mbps(Day/Night) (PMPL Meghbela @400+tax)
3.256/384Kbps(Day/Night) (Sifi @450+tax)

Net will mainly use for downloading 720p new anime series and playing
online games(if ping good and steady) beside web browsing.
Average usage time from 6PM to 2AM everyday.
Any user experience on any local ISP is welcome too.
Thanks!

I am using Alliance currently. All I can say is the pings are low and speed is good. But looking at the plans you listed, I would say Meghbela has the best plans? 2mbps at night and that too at 400rs? Sounds pretty good to me.

Bad news for me.
Now LCO telling they not giving new PMPL Meghbela connection anymore.
Only Alliance and Sifi left.
LCO indirectly forcing me to go for Alliance.
Currently Alliance totally ruling.
They got no competition or threat from other Local ISPs.
I guess that's why they not making their tariff cheaper anymore and not improving their service too.

I had very bad experience with Alliance.
I had Alliance at 2009.
Did not last even for one year.
I was facing too much packets loss and due to that very low Dl speed & almost no UL speed.
Neither Alliance not LCO(not this LCO I'm talking about currently) did not fix.
And after few months later the cheap Blue color CAT5 cable was cut due to a storm.
And LCO ask me for 2K to replace the cable.
Allince has no authority over LCO.
Local net totally depend on LCO.
So,I gave up and quite. :(

^Yeah it depends upon ur LCO. For me I had one of the best experiences. Called a day, they came next day in the morning, installed the cables within 1 hour, registered me within 30mins.. From that day no DOWNTIMES, except when it rains very heavily then they switch their server off. Even if there is some problem, they come within 20mins to fix it. What else can I ask for? P.S. I get 2.3mB/s on torrents :p

@rajnusker
If u don't mind.
Which area ?
Very good DL speed u getting.
BTW,which port u using for P2P ?
Torrent speed same for all users or depend on plans ?


Can we use more that one PC.
Alliance got MAC Binding ?
Without any router can we bypass that ?
I only have a simple 6 port Netgear switch.
Alliance is a LAN bases ISP.
So,do we need extra precaution or security ?

Can we run net while lightning if we use Ethernet surge protector ?
Does normal UPS has Ethernet surge protector ?

I don't know.
May be BSNL ?
It would be great if Alliance except user request to downloading content of Peering into their 30TB NAS.

They have their own 30TB NAS setup for this. (As per as more than a year old information) -.-.. The whole point of peering is to save bandwidth.

Pings looks fine to me. What else do you want?


Revolution said:
Where or whom(Alliance) should I ask for Anime(for Peering which gonna store at their NAS) downloading ?
Click to expand...

You can't ask them to store something for you. Do you expect them to listen to 1000's of costumers like us? The servers stores everything which is commonly downloaded by users. If you are downloading something which is not commonly viewed by local Alliance users then how can you expect Alliance to store it on their btcache server? And btw are you facing annoying forced Javascript ads deployed by Alliance?

Not any Javascript but something like page2... showing at address bar of browser before opening any page.
And a cross sign(may be a pop up not fully opened) on every page showing.
They r tracking us ?
BTW,its by brother using Alliance currently.
I'm not able to connect Alliance from my PC currently cos of MAC binding.
Need to buy a cheap router son I guess.

You mean this?:

Alliance is using dirty tricks to force us to view ads, and also they are freaking monitoring which websites we visit. Browsing web is pretty ****!d up currently, I use my connection for download only.

Yep.

Getting max 40kBps(HTTP not Peering)
Zoom Plus plan.
In past Alliance was using a Spyware called 24online Client.
