IQARA sux big time

whoaa…. 25KBpsssss….
IQARA sux big time. says 64 kbps (i learnt the difference between b and B only yesterday) and delivers 2.5 KBps. don’t want to spam their cell now at midnight.
will threaten CC to them and ty to get back my money and switch to SRK-aided Airtel.

Here is my experience

I am in Delhi and a broadband user for last 2 years. I have used Sify, Tata Indicom and now Airtel. Let me tell you all the three suck for different reasons. I am using Sify for all 2 years. Used Tata Indi for 3 months last year and now using Airtel BB for last 2 weeks. Here is my experience:
Sify:
—–
Plus - Speed has never been a problem. Almost always get near about the speed of 256 kbps and sometimes even more.
cable operator is on call 7 days a week.
Minus - Last mile is handled by cable operator and cost cutting is the name of the game for them. Untrained staff, bad cables and frequent downtime.
Tata Indicom:
————-
Plus - Excellent speed.
Minus - Bad customer care and support. I had to email the Country Head for VSNL broadband services to get things working. Infrastructure is not up to the mark.
Airtel BB:
———-
Plus - Excellent customer support. Get he cell number of the local engineer and you never have to call crappy customer care execs.
Minus - Pathetic speed. If you buy 256 kbps connection, they give 128-256 which mostly works around 128 kbps only.
In last 2 weeks I have never seen above 192 kbps try as hard as I might.

budget proposals

A small clip on the front page of today’s ET (Pune edition) pointed out http://mybudget.economictimes.com/ ( http://o3.indiatimes.com/budget06/ ) saying this was your opportunity to be heard amongst the govt and industry folks (or something like that)…

Anyone would be interested in posting (comments) there about the state of broadband and what you think is the way to improve? Something technically “authoritative” explaining how costly and slow broadband is here, the “interconnect”/peering problems (nixi.org?), compare with other nations, etc…

I wonder who will be reading the comments, really people from govt/industry interested in hearing “budget proposals” from the common man? or just the economic times webmaster :-)

mobile owners than landline owners

“Laugh your guts out but minus the infrastructure, there is little hope.”

I bet there are more mobile owners than landline owners in the country !!

In the same way if WiMax offers similar advantages, this may be the way to expand internet coverage whereas it would have been economically unfeasible in the past (we don’t see enough ROI). But its a very big IF.

The better speeds/preformance will continue to be over wired connections, but 56k or 128k might be good enough for ppl that want to browse.
