Thread: Extremely satisfied, In fact its great!

Hi,

First of all, I must straightaway say that I’m not saying most of the other reviewers are wrong.. but I definitely feel that Sify is copping the blame for the faults of the local providers, the guys who run the network in your area, do the installations etc.

Im in Navi Mumbai, Koparkhairane, and got my connection from SSV cable. Previously I used Iqara from Aashish cable. Theirs was the best service, 128kbps, 500 mb a month at 550 rupees. But I used use 2 packages per month usually, and couldnt download much stuff. The speed was great, and 99.99% uptime, but the mb cap was limiting.

So I switched to Sifys unlimited plan, 64kbps at 400/month. Its great!

SSV did take 3 weeks to make the connection, but that was because no one in my area had a sify connection already, hence they had to draw all the lines from scratch.
Once installed, its worked very well. Speeds are 64, less compared to my previous 128 from iqara, but its UNLIMITED !! So, not a problem

Its been down just twice for 2 hours each at night in 3 weeks of usage so far.

So, what I really feel is that if any people have had bad experiences, its because of the provider (cable operator, telecom provider etc), and not sify themselves. I’ve downloaded shitloads of stuff so far, and no hiccups. They even provide free licensed trend Micro AV if you dont have an AV installed.

Only thing I have a problem with is download speeds not crossing 12-14 kbps.

Also, you can upgrade the unlimited package to 128kbps, 256kbps etc for more monthly charges, which is a great benefit !

Have you noticed that whatever download speed you got, the upload speed is capped to 64kbps in all packages ?

This is difficult when uploading a lot of data.

Oh God! This thread is so primitive...

@^^^ lol...

Sify is really impressive, it's fast.... convenient to use and so excellent for me.

I guess.. Perhaps I gave this old thread a new life...

Carry on Sifyzens!!

Why do you sound more like a sify cable operator to me then a sify customer

Or is it just me?

I'm thinkin the same thing!!:14: There's something fishy here... I had used sify and must say it sucked even more than spacenet, which in turn sucked like hell.
Tho i shud be thankful to it to make me switch to wimax.

ya its a provider here at dwarka... it sux the most... well i guess its a tie between sify n this one. :stuart:

Their cables were removed from Dwarka last year by the electricity people because they had no permissions to run their cables using electricity poles and telephone poles.

Sify is already dead as a lot of societies dont let sify cables in and since Airtel is now available almost every where in Dwarka sify doesnt stand a chance there being costly and unreliable at the same time.

Now thats some info admin.. do u know what happened to hotwire?? the hotwire days were good i must admit...

And ur avatar's freaky!!

i know about hotwire but if you remember hotwire offerd some great plans like
64kbps unlimited (ohh its broadband)
96kbps unlimited (again broadband)
128kbps unlimited (broadband please)

best thing they use to call 64, 96, 128 everything and anything as broaband

lol... ya those were the plans... i was on 96kbps back then...
