I paid 300 for installation, and nothing else after that (except the renewal charges of course). A guy from Sifys office (so says the receipt) in Vile Parle comes to my home in Navi Mumbai every month to collect the renewal fees, no charges extra. I don't even have to renew manually. They do it automatically on the last day of a pack 🙂 I like their service here. The strangest thing is, I was on Iqara until November, and they drew the power for their boxes from my house. Then when I shifted to Sify, they struck a deal with Iqara, and they share that same power supply. Usually that would piss me off and I'd pluck out the cable, but they've been kind enough (unintentionally or otherwise) to see that my monthly power bill doesnt exceed 20 rupees pm 😉 . So if you look at it, I'm getting the connection for free. Hope it stays this way. If I get a huge power bill next month, off comes the power cable to their boxes !
