Who's BEST Internet Service Provide (ISP) ?

[siddharth_menon]

Well we all use ISP ,

Its time to sum up all the ISP & pick the best of all,
So share ur ISP benifits that it offers

Eg:
-->Charges
-->Speed
-->Accesibility & so on

[it_waaznt_me]

No Poll ...???
Anyways ..
I have tried Sify , Dishnet , Infinet and Sancharnet ..
and Sancharnet is the best .. all in terms of connectivity and performance ... and value for money tooo ..
Infinet sucks ..

[casablanca]

Same here i use sancharnet too
and the best part is too phone bill costs

[siddharth_menon]

Friends

You forgot to mention the type Dial-UP or Broadband & wat U pay (Area if possible).


I am stuck with dialup & connect via MTNL Mumbai. Not to forget the tel charges, I think it comes to some 24/Hr

[digen]

dial up user.i've tried 3 ISPs till now n i would rate them as follows
1.Touchtel(TATA)
2.Sancharnet
3.Satyam

[Krishanu.De]

Hey people why don't you mentioning your connection type i.e. Dial-up or DSL? Also the money and the BW.
I use Sanchernet. It's a dial-up@64 Kbps. Costs Rs. 10 in off-peak hour and Rs. 18 in peak hour.
I used VSNL and Infinet. VSNL is better than Infinet and Sanchernet is better than VSNL (My opinion).

Carefull.U r on verge of voilating rules of poll.

[hthite]

Well, my rating are based on dial up what I have used and heard:

VSNL (Tata Indicom) is the best, but expensive for longer usages
MTNL is comparable, and relatively cheap especially for unlimited use
Sify and Mantra are strictly ok
ETH sucks
Have not tried BSES or RoltaNet, which are also available.

[ice]

Hey rocky, i got hathway too

but i get 10-15kbps.

where are u located..i mean where in bbay?

[Nemesis]

i use sify broadband (64kbps). it is relatively cheap and offers good speeds. i hav used hcl infinet and mtnl dial-up connections too. i dont wanna say much abt them-not too good.

[blade_runner]

i use Pacnet broadband connextion !

speed - 64kbps
download rates - normally 8-10k in the day and upto 12 - 14ks at night.
download limit - none. (no capping too.)
a bit expensive.
I find it very satisfactory !

[aadipa]

I use mix o 2 accounts

Sancharnet Pre-paid 100 Hrs account of my friend in night @ Rs 5.40 / hr [11.00pm-6.00am]
BSNL Post-paid @ Rs 6 / hr [whole 24 hrs]

and i use 2nd BFone from BSNL, the Rs 399 per month connection

33kbps modem connects at 33kbps and download speed 3-5 KBps depending on the server load.

[rockyj123]

i got hathway cable net....am frm mubai ....chmbur......

if ur stunned by my dload speeds , ull faint if i tell u wot speeds i get in the early mrnings....

[hthite]

This is for Rocky:

If u r talking of a download speed of 20-25 Kilo Bytes Per second then yes, you do have n exceptional download speed... But then u shud be able to download 1 GB in a day and not in 3-4 days... If you are doing it in 3-4 days, u r speed is 4 kilo bytes per second. This is not exceptional, and I do get it with my unlimited MTNL dial up. So what's the big deal?

[siddharth_menon]

ROCKY, ROCKY ROCKY

MTNL unlimited dial UP

wats ur monthly TEL BILL

[mail2and]

sabhi ek hi kheth ki muli hai!

[siddharth_menon]

I have now got myself SIFY Broadband, New Mumbai.

Its quit fast the connection speed all scored 200~kbps.
I downloaded SP2 275MB from micosoft server & took 30Min max

I don't know how long this will continue,for now I am using a unlimited package, was suposse to be slow but its great specially when u take leep from dialup.

[mail2and]

well i use hathway... but not so gr8 speeds... its ok as i m movin to NY or somethig for my BBA

[rockyj123]

ddue.......i dnt sit all day to download nor keep it on n go away COZ V R 4 BROTHERS....so it takes 3-4days to download 1gb FOR ME 2 D/W MY STUFF.....n im nt on mtnl unlimited....im on cable net....so no tel bills....

ONE QUESTION FOR EVERYONE:IS IT TRUE THAT THE CALBE OPERATORS CAPP UR DOWNLOAD SPEEDS WHEN U DOWNLOAD A LOT?

are there any chances SIFY comming to Palghar?
my cable ISP stopped taking bandwidth from Bharti few days ago due to poor service, just ask ur SIFY operator

[siddharth_menon]

Rocky yes its true even sify has the same probs

Cause i downloaded so much
The first 2 days I got 256Kbps (2GB) then reduced to 40Kbps(~1GB) & then 20Kbps
Then I tried not to download anything for next 2days & great news I got back my 256Kbps.

I think sify or infact any operator may be keeping a track of the data transfer for limited days & if U exceed they try to discourage by reducing the speed. Now with sify I keep a track how much to download cause more download will exceed the limit for two days (According to sify) so every day 256-300MB is good enough to maintain 256kbps.

[siddharth_menon]

..:::AADIPA:::..

My operator is again a local Cable operator, so best help would be from SIFY itself. Try this no. 1901 33 8888 this may help U.

BTW where is Palghar??
I am in New Mumbai & new to MUM

[diju]

Dial up user here....
3 kbps is a luxury for me...

[ujjwal]

Any idea of a good (and cheap) broadband connection in Delhi?

[theraven]

i use local cable net .. !!
its good only for one thing .... 24 hour connectivity
my "cable wala" blocks kazaa edonkey . .. (such p2p clients )
during the day
and puts it on in the night
connections are comparable to dial up !
i pay 900 a month unlimited bandwidth ( thats what they call it)
plz tell me more abt sify , hathway and pacnet ( or whatever)
what are the prices ... is there bandwidth limitations ?
cuz i download like crazy .. i need unlimited download ... and atleast 8-10 kbps !!!
(the 20-25 of hathway dun sound bad ofcourse )

[siddharth_menon]

WELL HERE IS FOR SIFY

Unlimited Range:
Shared Unltd 1Month Rs999
Shared Unltd 3Months Rs2850
32Kbps 1GB 1 month 799

Data Transfer
256Kbps 1GB 6Months 2500

click here to know more
http://broadband.sify.com/master_pricelist.html

Well its best if U go for Unltd & maintain ur data transfer to obtain 200~Kbps all time. If U download more & cross somelimit for 2days of sify they would reduce ur speed to 10-25kbps only.

[siddharth_menon]

I forgot

If U go for any hourly packages U can enjoy 50% free at night (10pm- 7PM) & 100% free on Sundays

But if U go for Data transfer package then U get 50% free on Sundays only.
