MarketTantrik Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Applied for a 512 kbps unltd. Tata Indicom connection. They say 10 working days. Finger crossed they come through this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaztin Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Anything would be better then 64kbps connection and 8 kbps download speed! but yes you are right i really should take care with that....I think though i dont prefer Reliance, I will go for the same....one of my frns using Hathway was sobbing at their service! I wanted to ask K' regardign this 300kbps connection but he seems busy with his love life at the moment and hasnt come online lately!

MightySkate Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 although a web dialer is a prob, it doesn't interfere with xbl or psn i'm using Sify and their service is only offered thru a dialer. I've setup xbl and psn accounts fine, through a router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjun Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 @ sam ... iv applied for 3 hathway conxn 2x256 and 1.512 ( for my room) and tht guy promised me 128kbps download speed and 128kbps upload speed .... i dont understand how thts possible as on a 512 conxn one should get bout 70kbps down/up.... - the guy claims tht my area has a lot of bandwidth and less subscribers .... + the local police station uses hathway for their cyber crime branch (which is true) and hence the service is very good .... blah blah....

lastAvenger Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 The problem with a cable connection is that the b/w is shared between subscribers so if number of people increases, the speed will have problem. ADSL on the other hand wont have these problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADSL on the other hand wont have these problems not the case with hathway....u get your own cable modem so there is no sharing Yaa! Sharing modem comes usually when u use and MB based or Hourly based plan! But ur personal speed wont be disturbed no matter that modem has2 or 10 connection, this is my personal observation as I had and MB based plan b4 and my modem was shared with 7 people(GangBang)!

MightySkate Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Great news this came in today's newspaper. How about downloading at 8mbpsAirtel announced on Wed the launch of 8 Mbps broadband internet access, the first telecom operator in India to deliver such speeds. What that means is that is a 700mb files which used take 6 hrs to download on a 256 kbps line, will now only take under 12 mins it won't initially come cheap. Monthly rate will be about Rs. 2000. But broadband rates are gradually coming down. Atul Bindal, president of Bharti Airtel, said a growing number of internet users were browsing multiple windows at a time, also viewing streaming video and playing online games, all of which require massive bandwidth. "The 8Mbps speed will ensure you can do all that without compromising on the performance", he said. It also makes Airtel's network IPTV ready, a service that may be available early next year.

MarketTantrik Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Wow !!! Unfortunately, only those in Delhi NCR will be able to take advantage of this initially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjun Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 8mbps sounds goods.... but for 2k only ?? i doubt it .... itll be more like 8k/month or somethin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightySkate Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) I'm guessing that for Rs. 2000, the plan will surely come with a limited data transfer. The current upto 512kbps plan they're offering costs rs. 2000, maybe they'll bring that price down once they come out with the 8 Mbps plan.

arjun Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 limited data transfer sucks .... its of no use .... and with 8mbps its totally of no use .... ul be running thru ur download limit in minutes .... :@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightySkate Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) The fact is over here, with such speeds on offer, giving unlimited service will just ruin their back-end servers. We all know what we can do with an 8 Mbps connection For instance (i'm using Sify) and once in a while, i get these sudden speed bursts and my download just jumps from 30 kbps to a whopping 900 kbps - 1 Mbps :shock3: and i remember in a single afternoon i downloaded 20 gb of stuff and almost reached my rapidshare limit which was 25gb per day.
