Broadband in Chennai ??

[Ricky]

cool.. but i think he is saying 128 kbps ...

 

[drgrudge]

ya sorry 128 kpbs

Oops,

Unfortunately TouchTel DSL is not available in Collector Nagar (TVS Colony), Tirumanagalam.

How about the perfomrance of the Sify Cable Internet ??

 

[drgrudge]

sify is little less but, we have to give 35oo bucks...(not refundable)
the unlimited browing account is a shared line is not fast.
did u try dishnet?

 

[Kannan]

Ok what is the approx download speed you are getting in Sify Cable net ??

 

[drgrudge]

it depends...
they have 64kpbs, 128 kpbs.u can buy both in hours pack as well as like unlimited or like amount of mb/gb. if u want only speed and not bother money u can go for their 128kpbs dedicated line.
byt for unlimited they have shared line, which i think will be like a dial up connection speed. did u ask for dishnet?

 

[Kannan]

Actually I went to *www.ddsl.net as it belongs to DishnetDSL.

But it seems that TATA Indicom has bought the DishnetDSL along with VSNL.

The price rates are very high then the Touchtel or Sify.

I saw the tariff in the website !!.

I am going to go for a unlimited services only, as I use the webcam to chat with my relations abroad.

Ok, now will the Sify's shared line will be better than the Dial up or not ??

 

[drgrudge]

just beter not sustanial faster

Heard that BSNL is offering a 512kBps always on connection for 500 per month. Initial cost is 5000 though - 4000 non-refundable.

[drgrudge]

tata claims 115kpbs line but,it is like a dial up connection.
my friends say it has improved now...

 

[plasmafire]

tata =115kbps=14kBps... actual speed = 5kBps

Just got a Dishnet DSL bought by TATA INDICOM 512 Kbps connection.I would very well recommend it.The tariff is as follows :

Installation charges : 2500/- , Refundable deposit : 1000 /- , Monthly 500/- with 20hrs of internet and Rs.25 /- every extra hour. If Monthly rent is Rs.1000/- it is 25hrs of internet and Rs.20 /- every extra hour.Check out their tariff by calling them up,not on their website.Also their service is available almost everywhere.I am at Nanganallur and Touchtel,Sify did not have service here.And the 512Kbps is dead fast dudes.I download files at around 35-40KB/s .I would recommend it.
