Even the same thing happened to me. Told i would be getting a connection in 2 weeks since one owner first gave permission to install the box but again refused. So placed a request and after 3 weeks they themselves called and said they were ready for installation. Just call him one more time and ask for a definite timeframe and say that its imp and you are without internet and you need only beam. Since i've heard good reviews at mehdipatnam, iwould suggest waiting it out. Apart from beam, you have YOU telecom and then BSNL has also some good plans specially for hyderabad users.
