It looks like they dont have a standard policy for security and they just leave it to the individual admins to figure it out. I run Sify Broadband (?) too (was forced to upgrade actually) but once I did, I couldn't play HL2 or any other Steam game. An Nmap run pretty much confirmed that every port on the server with the exception of 25 and 80 were closed. I wrote to them and spoke to them, but its been over two months now. Customer service isnt really their forte.

BTW, has anyone gotten the ADSL connections from Airtel?

Hmm, i get 31-34kbps with BSNL dataone...And thats nothing compared to raaabo's data transfer.

[icecoolz]

my corp T1 line in my current company is a 1MBPS. Still since its shared I get D/L of around 80-90kbps. My earlier companies corp line was a dual 45MBPS pipeline! I used to get smouldering speeds of around 2MBPS !!!!!

[ctrl_alt_del]

So its the same download speed on even the bets connections?

Wow, you got a DataOne connection? I didn't know they had already started setting up connections. They contacted you or did you have to hound the Customer Service Cell? Are there port restrictions on the connection?

[Ashis]

Ok,.....

[babumuchhala]

Well sify today launched 128 kbps fr Rs 995(Rs 500 fr Mumbai) but heres the catch and i quote frm the site:

And the other package is night plan (usage 9pm - 9 am) fr Rs 650.

Well sify has also started USER ID - IP ADDRESS- MAC ID BINDING. Any way to override this thing bcos every Sundays i use my cousins id(Sunday free fr hourly users) which gives 64kbps dedicated compared to my 40 kbps shared

[Delpiero]

Can anyone tell what is the disconnection rate of tata broadband and hathway? . Sify gets disconnected a lot of times. Also tell me which is better in terms of speeds and reliability , tata or hathway.

Hmm, i guess only chennai users (and maybe b'lore) ppl get connection.

I dint hound the customer service , they just called me up and asked me to fill the form and pay money and after 4 days , i got my connection.

Hmm, I live in Bangalore and I've been hounding the Customer Service Cells for my connection to no avail. Maybe its area-specific, like how DIAS was and they're planning to rollout in different areas at different times. But how about the connection itself? Are there port restrictions?

There is absolutely no way around a MAC binding as its probably entered in the router's ACL and set to deny access from any other MAC address. It's crap, but that's the way most ISPs (the LAN based ones) are migrating to avoid freeloading and in some cases, using multiple computers to share a single connection at home (although this can be easily bypassed with a proxy/NAT)

[drgrudge]

Yes the connection is good and sometimes it gets DC, but even then thats less than wht i used to have with my dial up...

There are no restriction as of now...

[iinfi]

mines solved now ( atleast 4 the moment )
been a week with sify n they have enabled all the ports i wanted them 2 , n m ore , the admin said said that given kinnda ' full access ' . m content 4 the moment .
downloadin stuff

[Ankit]

wel i think now sify is best option...even with 150 mb daily monthly usage can go as high as 4.5 gb....for 500 rs. this is not bad at alll.........

[babumuchhala]

But generally we dont have a daily usage of 150 MB its like on some days of the week ur data usage goes through the sky. Fr me its weekends when all downloads are in full swing. They should probably relax data limit after 10 PM and on Sundays. This would be really usefull fr Home users
