Hey [MENTION=277332]isaac12345[/MENTION]. Where are you located exactly?
I need some reviews of Den Boomband like speed, reliability and ping to game servers. Their plans look good but their fb page is full of complaints and abuses.
Hi!
I'm located near moti nagar metro station in delhi.
Before I say anything please bear in mind that I have only had it a month and a half. I mostly use it for internet browsing, watching lectures(mostly at 480p) and the occasional game downloading from services like Steam.
I can honestly say that in that month and a half, -
1) I have had no problems with reliability. The connection has always been working when I needed it. One problem that I have faced is that during long skype video calls the wifi connection dropped randomly. I'm not sure what the problem was but it hasnt occured again. And it got fixed by simply restarting the 2 modems and the laptop.
2) In terms of speed, the throughput is very impressive and stable for downloads from services like Steam. I got around 8-9 mbps when I was on a 10mbps plan. Right now I am on a 20mbps plan and the speed is fine for my uses.
Here are the speed test results from dslreports -
Test Result 16.49/1.87 megabit/second | DSLReports, ISP Information
3) Regarding ping to game servers, I quite frankly dont know because I havent played online since I got it. If you would like me to run a test to a game server, please provide the link to the test and I'll gladly do it for you.
4) Total installation charges - 562(including taxes). If you pay for 3 months, the installation charge is waived off.
5) My advise to you would be that if you are not too short on money and can afford it, try one of their 10mbps plans at 50gb or a 5mbps one with the same capacity. Make sure you ask them what your speed would be after the capacity is finished. They recently introduced many new plans like the one I am on right now (20mbps for 50gb, 2mbps thereafter) so inquire about those as well.
6) The sales guy in charge of my area was ok. Although at first shot he did throw a sales pitch at me, I asked him some straight questions regarding the connection and he answered them as much as one could expect from a sales guy.
7) Here's a photo of the router/modem setup. (*i61.tinypic.com/iodmv4.jpg) Its a cable connection, not an adsl/through the phone line connection.
Hope this is useful.
