India Broadband

pralach

Hi guys,

I am staying in Maruthi Nagar in Madiwala area( bangalore) .
I am looking BroadBand connection and searching for good service provider.

I have started with Airtel and got the good feedback about connectivity.
But when I visited the Airtel office they said that they couldn't provide
any more new connection in my area.

started thinking to go for Tata indicom WI Max 256kbps unlimited post paid plan.It costs 3371 for 4 months.
when started looking for feedback on connectivity and service.
It seems to be pathetic from most of users.

Is there any alternative BB good in connectivity?

If any one using TATA wimax BB in my area or anyone banglore give me the feedback whether to take the WI MAX Tata Indicom broad band or not.
I am really not able to take any decision.

Hope this feedback help me not wasting my time and money if its bad.

Thanks..

Have you taught of BSNL ?

Thanks for your thoughts.

No I haven't thought of BSNL.
But don't have BSNL landline phone.
so any idea how many days to get the connection?

You can go to BSNL and submit an application for BSNL Broadband with a new telephone line. In all probability, you will get a new line within 15 days. BB connection could take the same time or longer - it all depends upon whether they have the capacity and equipment at that time.

As a general rule of the thumb - new areas or new exchanges will be able to service you quicker.

Hi just4kix,

You Information is helpful.
I am planning to get it with in week's time.

what is your opinion about TATA Wimax in bangalore.

Just curious to know...and get feedback before

just4kix

All Wimax services really depend upon the vicinity to the tower. The closer you are, the better your connection. Broadband is better than Wimax.

You should first evaluate your main interner requirements, i.e., what you wish to do with internet.

Thanks friend.
I am looking for downloads and browsing kind of stuff.
I need to check BSNL how much time it takes for Broadband with new landline.

How about sify broad band?

one general question....,do we need Modem for laptop also?

players_player

well if u r taking a connection from BSNL then u need to have a modem of theirs or urs [which u can buy either from them or from a shop] installed before the connection is possible. and modem does not mean the one inside ur comp. such a modem is needed incase of bsnl. modem not required for sify connection.

Going by most opinions on this forum, it will be better to stay away from Sify.

You do not require a separate modem for laptop. If you go for BSNL, go for Type IV modem which has wi-fi and 4 lan ports. You can connect to this modem via wireless or LAN cable. Please read my "SOHO guide" in the "Broadband How to" section.

No matter what you do stay away from sify
i have used reliance wimax which was really bad, i did not have a tower near by but still they installed it and that never worked

Currently i am using tata wimax from past 3 weeks and have not got any issue, may be a once in a while a down time of few hours, but till now i am happy with the connection. tata wimax customer care is bad as bad as reliance or sify

but i feel that bsnl is better that all the above, i have used it for 1 year and had only a day or two of down time which is really good. had to move away form bsnl as i shifted my house

go for bsnl it is good
