Cable internet is faster, stable and affordable than DSL in most developed countries. But in India its actually the opposite.
Fiber providers like Hathway, Den, Nextra etc does provide fast Internet plans. But they are highly unstable and technical support is nightmare.
I recently contacted my Local Cable provider who has now become a Local dealer of Nextra in my colony with plans upto 100 Mbps.
The basic working model is this - Nextra will give their network to Local Cable guy. Local Cable buy will attract customers through various promotions. New customers will be connected with internet via office of Local Cable guy and Nextra will activate the account from its server.
The problem - The local cable guys are unprofessional and lack technical knowledge. If you encounter any technical problem, it will be beyond understanding of local guys. You can only hope that problem is at Nextra end which Nextra technicians will hopefully fix quickly. If any problem arises via Local Cable office. it will never be fixed. They don't know what to do. Also the overhead cables are bound to get frequent problems. You have to keep calling Cable guy if your Cable snaps or any other issue.
