Question New Broadband Connection... Please help

Hello Friends!

I am from Rohini, Delhi and thinking of taking a new broadband connection.

Searched various providers like Sify, Hathway but not sure about whom to go with?

I am looking for a complete unlimited plan or a night unlimited atleast.

Sify's plan of 400 per month with unlimited download @ 256 KBPS looks good.
Or Hathway plan of Rs. 3150 for six months @ 512 KBPS with night unlimited?

What say? Which one should I consider? Any other?

Please help!

Thanks

Default Sify Broadband One of the worst internet services

Dear Friend

Sify Broadband One of the worst internet services. My user id of Sify Broadband is rze37 name is navneet kumar (search engine marketing executive) live in raghu nagar you face 5 to 7 days of disconnection.
Please avoid Sify Broadband and use other services. You can't get 1 hr continue connection. Very bad customer care services and hold the call for long time after 5 to 6 attempts they pick the call. I think worst broadband service ever in India by sify broadband.

I want to know your comment

i don't know i am in right pleace where i post this thread.

I should say I got an average speed of more than 32kbps. However the download speed was not up to the mark. The transfer rate of download speed I got was around 6kbps or can be compared to a dialup speed. You can download a maximum of 75mb per day for this connection. I did have some initial Hicups regarding the connectivity, but the cablewalla who provided me the connection took care of it and after a couple of days and until now I have not found any major setbacks regarding the connectivity.

For the month of November I purchased 250mb one month limited connection with 128kbps speed. The price was Rs.510/- The speed of this connection was tremendous and I should say it was like a real Broadband connection. While downloading the transfer speed I got was around 21kbps. I was able to download a 1mb file in 40 seconds. But then in this connection the more number of hours you stay or if you download or visit some sites to download jpeg files the precharged amount vanishes fast.

The sify gives free online antivirus software from Macfee. If you are running Norton ask those installation guys not to remove Norton or whatever antivirus you are having. Macfee is not good and moreover you would get some error if you try to update the antivirus. It would take a phone call to sify to get rid of this Macfee. The Macfee antivirus removal should be integrated in their client software for easy removing instead of calling them to remove.

I found lot of people complaining about the speed. It all depends on your local cablewalla. If he is a crook you are finished. Luckily I have a good one here in Chennai and hope he stays like that. Sify should definitely streamline this cablewallas. Sify should inspect the hardwares used by these cablewallas before they become their agents.

I should say the customer service at Sify is a total flop. They were not able to provide me the details of the various broadband connectivity available with them. Worst one chap there never knew that there was a one month 250mb limited connection. It is always better to have your relationship with your local cablewalla. Get their phone nos and treat them nicely and you wouldn’t find any problem.

Another factor affecting the speed might be your computer. The speed would definitely be slow on a Celeron system compared to a Pentium IV 2.8Ghz. A minimum of 128 mb ram should be there in your system and definitely install a advt and spy blocking and browser hijacking software. It would be better if you install the ad-aware software. If you are installing an addon card for the lan support, do not install DAX Ethernet card (the sify guys usually insists on this ethernet card but this is not a good ethernet card). Install a Intel card or Realtek ethernet card which is really good. The price would be around Rs.300/- for this card.

Hope this helps somewhat in choosing your broadband connection. Please Rate and leave a comment .

Happy Surfing.

Cheers
