hey mamba..there is restriction on sify na?????150mb download per day max??right

was talking bout the 256 kbps NIGHT UNLIMITED

in the other plans 2 , i think night downloading doesnt count ( 10pm - 8am ) coz in my earlier connection , the 96 kbps 1 , i downloaded bout 500mb each day not even a single day was deducted frm my plan .

 

[avdhut_s]

This what sify's website says
For all Unlimited packs, if usage exceeds more than 150 MB in a given day, then there will be a reduction in validity of one day for every 150 MB of extra usage in that day.

tht means magnet is right.............
Also, sify has some really big after sales service problems as my friend told me. Before opting for Hathway i registered at least 10 times on sify's website and also called on numurous occasions but they never called me back ! each time they used to give diff reference no , so i fed up with it n bought Hathway

 

[magnet]

avdhut.....u know i use hathway.........but it suxs now...i have normal sharing connection via lan....earlier i used to get 45kbps download speed.....on download...now they hav centralized there system..and noiw hardly speed goes above 8.....+avg i get 3........which is damn suking..i still paying same old r8.....550...............

presently i hav opted 4 exatt...but the guy is not replying me bak..........atlest on sify u share on lan..hathway has restricted it.......

so my view stay away frm hathway..check other local including exatt and all.....try and find ppl who hav good net speed and tak there review....

btw 4 mamba 150mb doesnt count...but in somee cases i hav seen where ppl havent used even 150mb per day still they getting less days and sify givin the 150mb reason

Hi

Every DSL service provider says that it requires LAN card in my computer. Can I use integrated Ethernet 10/100 mpbs or something from VIA for this purpose ?

&

If I have the LAN card, do I still need a modem for DSL connection ?

 

[Saahib]

yes.. that's onboard NIC ,
You will still need DSL modem !

I have a dial up connection 33.6 Kbps. When i download using DAP it gives me 3 KBps . What is the difference between Kbps & KBps.
also tell me how to reach that 1gbps in dataone.Which plan gives that speed and how much

33.6 kbps means 33.6 Kilo "Bits" per second. 3 KBps means 3 Kilo "Bytes"
per second. 1 Byte = 8 bits. Since your connection is 33.6kbps you should
get 33.6/8 = 4 KBps approx at peak speed.


If you really want ( if you have deep pockets) that you can get atmost 1Mbps in Home 3300 plan of DATAONE. As for 1 gbps, thats way too high
to think about for now. Infact, maybe such speed are available in top research facilities only.

See:
*www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm

Recently a hongkong company launched broadband for 1 GbPS. See this.

I'd recommend Sify Broadband to everyone.

I run a 40kbps monthly thingy for about Rs. 400 only. I get good downloading speed too - 18 - 20kbps - which I think is not at all bad for my requirements.

I had Reliance Webservice earlier to this and it sucked pretty badly. Although it offered 115kbps from their RPhone... it was wireless and used to consistently disconnect and needed to be reconnected manually. I hardly recollect a half hours session in my three months with Reliance where the thing didn't disconnect atleast 3 times. So it was a bit of a bugger.

Sify runs very well.

Hey, i have some questions can you answer?
1. what are the installation charges?
2. What download speeds are you getting ? Are thay constant? For eg. do they stay at 20kpbs or sometimes slows down to like 6kpbs?
