India Broadband

Hi All,

Just got Sify broadband installed today at home and guess what? I am using my 3 year ol’ reliance handset to connect to internet. So what happened??? Nothing much, the power went out a couple of times here. Third time it went out and came back the ’Broad Band’ connection went down the drain. Called up service center after waiting for an hour - ’’yes sir we are looking into it’. Called up after 3 hours - ’’Sir the connection is down at a local point, someone is looking into it’’. I ask what’s your turn around time. Twelve hours. BRILLIANT!!!! SIMPLY BRILLIANT. This is my first day of usage and I get this ****. So two power cuts a day and you can shove the ’broad band’ down the stinkiest place you can think of. Oh wait there is more, I called up the third time - ’’yes sir you complaint was registered at 8:30. No one called you from Sify?’’ - NO. Okay sir, the connection is broken due to local fault and it will be fixed by tomorrow morning... AARRRGGGGHHHHHHH.... I DON’T NEED YOUR BROADBAND CONNECTION. Shove it up your whatever....

Internet connection by all provider all throughout has always been this lousy in India. Be it Dial-up/Cable/DSL/Broadband and we are supposedly a Software Giant!!! Daah!!! But wait you can’t complain, there are other ’important’ infrastructural issues to be sorted out here... yeah right....
