Hi.I am new here, live in Chandigarh and am currently on Sify 256 kbps night unlimited connection. As you might have guessed, I am pretty pissed off with Sify's service and have decided to take up Airtel BroadBand. But so as to not repeat my mistake as with the case of sify, I have a few doubts which I would like you guys to clear before I go with airtel.I called Airtel and they sent over an executive who gave me the follwing information:Economy Combo @ 256 kbps.Day: 10 hrs per month.Night: UnlimitedPrice: Rs. 550 (+Rs. 99 for modem rental per month)Now in the brochure he showed me the Night hrs were listed as 50 whereas he said they have now changed to unlimited. Also the night time surfing hrs were listed as 10:30 pm to 6:30 am whereas he said that these were now changed to 9 pm to 8 am. I am pretty confused and dont want to be taken for a ride. So what exactly is it?Now assuming that they offer unlimited night browsing and the night time is 9 pm to 8 am as said be the airtel guy, I have a few more questions:1. Since the daytime usage is only 10 hrs per month, can I see the daytime surfing in my airtel account or do I have to keep the record of the hrs surfed during the day on my own??2. Does airtel use special logging in software or does windows do the job?3. What are the speeds on the 256 kbps connection? Both download and upload? Can I get simultaneous 256 kbps (or 32 KBps) upload and download simultaneously?4. Is the service of airtel good in chandigarh?5. Is there a way to logout automatically at 8 am in the morning so as to save my precious daytime usage hrs?6. Which modem to use? USB or ethernet? I am not going to be connected all the time and would like to log on and log off. Also I hve two PCs, a desktop and a laptop. So would like some mobility also.7. Will I get a static or dynamic IP? I would like a dynamic one.8. Ummm....really cant think of more at the moment, will edit this post if I come up with more.Thanks for your time for reading this looong post and I would really appreciate if someone comes up with answers.
