i have been using sify broadband in Mumbai for last 10 months and satisfaction rate is 50/50.
i have been using the much discussed '128kbps unlimited' connection with a download limt of 150 mb/day for last 4 months and overall i am satisfied with it.
i have noted a few points here:
1-:- the said limt of 150mb is non-existant. i download about 400 - 600 mb/day using P2P and Bittorrent downloads. but it depends on various factors. first of all "128kbps" is a load of bullshit. the usual connection speed is available in timed slots.
from morning 9.00 am to night 10.00 pm the effective speed is maximum 64kbps. (download rates of 6-8 kB/sec). and from night 10.00pm to morning 9.00 am it is max 120 kbps to 132kbps. (download rates are 14 kB/sec - 18 kB/sec). and i have yet to have any number of days to be deducted from my connection. 😉
2-:- when the costumer care wa contacted for the speed problem during the daytime, they said that the Pack was "upto 128kbps" meaning they can give maximum speed of 128kbps but minimum speed is not specified. it is a small loophole for them. 😱
3-:- since last 15 days the connection has a annonying habit of getting expired if you are not using the computer. i mean it is a usual habit for heavy downloaders to keep their pc on for full night so as to get maximum speed for their downloads, but recntly the connection expires around 3.30 am in the night. i usually use the net to browse till 2.30am then go to sleep. so the downloads get disrupted and my connection is wasted. :angry:
if any of you fellow sify users have a similar experiance to share pls mail me.
