MTNL Unlimited Conx using MTNL as ISP. The download peaked for a fraction of a sec to MByte download speeds !!!

Now lets see....

If sustained 512KB/S then in 33.33 minutes download 1 GB = Rs 2000 = account over. WAY TO GO - TA TA :D

My bad - I forgot for a moment that the speed should be 512Kbits/sec and not 512KBytes/sec which would mean you would get 8x33mins of use = about 4.5 hours of use for 2000/- now it sounds a wee bit better value for your money Ha HA !!! :D

Oh I have crossed 17~18Gb inc uploads too. So sify has inturn reduced my speed to 20Kbps from 40Kbps. Now i am good for nothing just surf for another 4 days till my ac exp & then renew my account & get back 256Kbps till i cross the limits of sify.

4 days to go without downloading MY GOD!!

You have all my Sympathies - a man could go brain dead with no downloads for 4 days - you already feeling the withdrawal symptoms ?? :D

Hathway has always given me the same steady download speeds (see my post above with the netstat screen capture) but then I use a cable modem - I did not take the Sharing conx which is quite pathetic because of heavy traffic in my area.

itch thanx for Sympathies. Hey U should go back to the last page & learn about the concept of Share speed by SIFY. Its Bull S***, they actually don't follow these rules its simply depends on howmuch data-trans U have don't. I u exceed there expected rate then they will simply discourage U by reducing speed!!

Rich !! ... WHO ?? .... ME ??? ....Ha HA !!.... you gotta be kidding - no one here is more broke than me. It was simple how I got the Hathway account - I used to have Rs 4 - 5000 phone bills with my VSNL conx so I explained to people at home how much money they would save supporting my Surfing habit by getting me a Hathway night account of 750/- (8pm to 8am 128kbp 3gb/month) as well as a MTNL unlimited account for 700/- ... so here I am... I got my conx when Hathway charged 6000/- for the modem in October 2003.

Well we all use ISP :!: ,

So share ur ISP benifits that it offers

:arrow: Eg:
-->Charges
-->Speed
-->Accesibility & so on

try to go for broadband network because it is more reliable i would prefer sify or some branded companies.

Rocky u mentioned about getting 25 kbps download speeds but now it has reduced can u tell me to how much ? what r thier charges for 128/256 kbps bandwidth unlimited downloads ? And can someone plz provide me with more info about Pacenet (about which i have been getting good reports) about thier charges n bandwidth (unlimited downloading only)......thanx

and oh yeah by the way Sify ppl r cheats ....i had a sify account (in navi mumbai vry much like mennon) ....they first said it was unlimited downlaoding n it was gr8 for 2 months ......then they said i cant dwonload for more than 2 gb .......then these smart f****** of sify cancelled the unlimited packages.....having paid 2500 for the deposit no one wld want to remove their connections .....but they recently reduced the prices to 600 bucks a month (unlimited downloading) but still for a 48 kbps shared connection.......n if any of u been to Sify Iway Cyber Cafe plz notice the different techniques they use to increase our browsing time .......there is no quick launch for IE (n u cant create one either ....obviouly have locked it ) .....so each time u have to minimise it to open a new page ....n u cant minimise it by juct clicking on that particular IE window in the taskbar (which obviouly makes it quicker)......n there r many more woes which r just too many to list ......I just hate them ......biggest cheaters!!

Altho i am in chandigarh i used lan first emmtel, then sify "Boradband" unlimited which gave me a download of max 5 Kb pers second and now has been down for eternity so i'd say lan connection I wouldn't reccomend as its pretty tough to mantain and has very much downtime ! i am going to switch to GPRS(Mobile internet) quite soon and do away with any physical wiring !!
