I just visited their site and for the above plan it says the price is 1500 (4gb for 3mths) but they haven't mentioned anything about night unlimited .Are u sure that they allow unlimited downloading between 11pm-9am?

Thumbs down Hathway sucks!

i must agree with you hathway sucks! Im frm Mumbai & der cust since the last 4 yrs!im on der liteway plan with 256 kbps @500/month with 100 rs extra as miodem rent, most of the times my net gets disconnected and gets connceted after some time so i really cant kep on downloading anything from sites like rapidshare or p2p sites as links kep on geting disrupted! also if my connnction does go down for long periods i have stopped calling tehri CC as they are of no help and just ar not redy to escalate to their Supervisors claiming no one is der! so when i am without service for more than 2 days i myself adjust the bill bu deducting hte LR for those many days! teh problem im stuck with This shitty ISP is that MTNL also had probs givin me service as exchange is too far from my place , im just waiting for Relaince or Airtel to come in my area or beter still WiMAX. But one thing is cetain Hathway sucks and wouldn advice any1 to take any higher hathway plan!

i am getting download speed upto 60 kbps in night 12-9(free hours) using download managers,but the problem with hathway is i think they are blocking some ports when i am downloading from rapidshare or megaupload download speed is 10-20 kbps all the time.

Even i get around 45-60kbps and when signing the Hathway form I was told that I will get a minimum of 35 and I agreed and now I am happy.........Its even under my budget

Default Hathway scammed me with theri 512Blast plan. Read the Fine Print

paid Rs.3300 for 6 monthS for the Hathway 512Blast. This deal is 7Gb for 6 months and its unlimited between 11.00pm - 9.00am.

However they suddenly said at the end of one month that i have finished my allowance.

They actually tampered my usage.

I have been using hathway for over 3 years. First plan i had was 64Kbps unlimited, then the 256Kbps unlimited.

Just last month i changed to the 512Kbps night unlimited. When i checked on the 24/10/07 my usage was 924Mb.

Today its shows as 18Gb as of 1/11/07.
I still have 5 months remaining and they have shut the internet saying that my usage in the night is too high!!

Its supposed to be nigth unlimited and it does not even work in the night now!

I am going to file a case in the consumer court and also a cheating case against them. When i told them this they said please go ahead do what you like.

If anyone goes for Hathway, please take care and take regular screenshots of your usage.

You need to go to Hathway and enter your own user name and password and then you can check your usage.

Hatway says that after 7gb is crossed which is what you get for 6 months they will shut the service even in the night. So it isnt night unlimited.

The current update is that they have given me a new IP and said that they will review the account after my dad spoke to a top boss in their company.

What is there to review i dont download anythiing in the day and only use it in the night still they SCAM.

Just came to know the fine print with this is that after 7GB they disable your connection night and day even if you have paid for 6 months.
