Hi all, I have been considering opting for broadband for a long time... I have considered the following: 1) SIFY - heard their speeds suck as bandwidth is shared .. customer care sucks. 2) Reliance - dont have much info 3) Beam cable, Hathway - both are cheats 4) Airtel - the most promising... but not yet available in our area. I stay in Begumpet, at Shamlal buildings. After doing a lot of research it seemed that Airtel BB was the best for me. The 549 plan, with 256kbps connection with a 1GB per month dl limit, BUT night 9pm - morning 8am unlimited dl (which is essential for me) - was going to cost me around 620 per month incl. taxes. Seemed to good to be true, so i called them up. They were very helpful and they said someone would call me up the next day. Indeed one female did, and she took my address - and said that they were laying cables and will get back to me in 2 weeks. I was in no hurry n i said okay.. but they didnt call back :angry: - when I called them up again after a month - they restarted the process again, and yet, the very next day - another person said the exact same thing "15 days more". I got pissed n called up their customer care to ask them what their definition of "15 days" is. They said - sorry sir - we will give u an estimate tomorrow afternoon. Which was supposed to be today. :angry: Now all I can do is wish. Or is there a great bb option that i am missing out? All I want is a 256 (hmm maybe 128 will do too) connection at around 600 pm - WITH unlimited dl from 11pm-8am or something. (NOT like the BSNL 2am - 8am.. 2am is way too late to start downloading). Please -- i need suggestions desperately!!~RajPS: This is also my first post to this forum! So - big "HI" to all of you 😀
