Never knew that sify is so bad before joining this forum... I guess sify just satisfied me over here...lol... Apart from good speed... I also used it free for 15 days or so... I'll share one more story of Sify's generosity on me... There was a time when my landlord asked me leave his flat(his son got married, so he needed it)...

I was using sify pre-paid... n my validity period just expired that day... So I didnt renew it... & went to search a new home n all... But when I returned home... And out of curiosity tried to login through Sify dialer(was just hoping for 1 more day..lol)... It actually logged in... then I realized that that sify's server has auto-renewed it for 1 more month(I never opted for that option)... So I went mad at Sify... called their customer care... told them I dont need their services...cuz I'm shifting in few days... I got a reply that they will rectify it... But they didnt... 3 days later tax-collector

of Sify came to collect the money of renewal... I explained him everything too... He apologized & said steps will be taken to disconnect it asap...

But no steps where taken for next 15 days... I shifted to a new flat without paying them a dime...

And ofcourse nothing is better than a free connection...

I'll share 1 more pleasant experience

with Sify later...

Once...for 2 hours...I got 80KBps download speed on Sify while being on a 64Kbps UL Plan. This happened 2 years back.

Once...I got a 1 month extension without paying a dime. Don't remember the details now. BTW now I left Sify and am on MTNL BB.

I have used sify and I would not say that it is very bad

I also believed it might be one of the worst but I have seen many people in this forum saying that BSNL etc. also take a lot of time sometime even several days or weeks when they mend the problem. I thought of excellent speed in UL plans in DSL services but the speed is only around 30 kbps for 256 UL plans and 60 kb for 512 UL plans.

If I compare these, I received a constant speed of more than 31 kbps in 256 UL plan with sify and I received a constant speed of more than 62 kbps in 512 kbps in sify. The sify lines have problems in rainy days, storms or extremely hot days often but in my case, I just call up the local sify dealer in my area that I want it resolved urgently. He sends the boys to fix the lines and provides every possible customer support and within a hour or two at the max, the lines are fixed and internet starts working fine.

So, I am not still sure if I can say the sify services to be very bad. I have heard about airtel that they provide better customer service but I have seen people who has got two days for their lines to be fixed in case of airtel too. If I rethink for a second time, sify has overall been great to me maybe because I have the local sify dealer only a few hundred metres from my place.
