I agree with just4kix, BSNL and Airtel are better options. Hathway can give you a number of problems and trust me its not a stable ISP. We have many threads in fourm which suggest that people face numeber of disconnection problems and slowness issues with hathway connection.

@wrijub
ya it will better if u go with bsnl or airtel. hathway uses cable modem at ur premisis n its not a direct service from hathway in between ur local cable operator will be there n thses local cable walas really sucks.

I havent heard many good things about hathway either.. go with Bsnl as Just4kix and Smoothvibes said and you would be serving the country as well by doing so as its a state owned company If not go for Airtel.
