I used to have airtel unlimited but went to tataindicom. Those sneaky S0B's stole the money right out of my pocket. Never go for tata indicom broadband. Go for airtel if U cant then BSNL is a hell of a lot better than Tata Indicom.:mad:

oh yes no doubt about that.
these shameless ppl come to our college to distribute their so called best plans.
a group of 5-10 friends including me stand right opposite to these ppl and shout that they are one of the worst isp's ever. :D good old days.

Tata has been good with me too, though their local technicians are not efficient, the uptime has been more than (a lot more than) Sify.

Are you near the tower?

bsnl plan is the best but they are not reliable for me.I may have the worst experienced with bsnl but i think that phase is fading.What i hate most is not constant speed.What i want is reliability .bsnl they dont promised 2mbps but upto 2mbps.

so you get around 30-40 kBps.The headache given by bsnl is intolerable sometime.If they dont give you headache , reliable, speed constant cost is ok although on the higher side.

I am on indicom boradband 128kbps unlimited @ ~700/-

how much could you download in a month?Its rather low for me as i do much downloading.

About speed variations, I used to get a constant 1.8Mbps on my 2Mbps connection. Not bad. But since yesterday I have noticed the speed at 9Pm has been capped at 1.3Mbps and the cap gets lifted at around 3 in the morning when the speed gets to an erratic 1.8Mbps. The speed stabilises to a perfect 1.8Mbps at 7Am apprx. The varations seem not to be random and its seems VERY delibrate.

Using BSNL (Unlimited 512) and Tata (Unlimited 256). Both have downtimes, but not too much. When one connection is down, I change to the other.

Very rarely both goes down.

I am also a happy Tata Indicom customer. For last 8-9 months there was for downtime only for 6-7 hours max 2 months ago. Otherwise I get a constant speed of 1.7 - 1.8 Mbps. I haven't called there customer care for last 10 months. Also the time-based plan is offered by only Tata. Along with NU plan (9pm to 9am) for Rs. 99 (I am their old customer :) So no increase in price from them like the current once for Rs. 299) it is simply the best. BSNL should provide time-based plans then it will be good. Current daytime limit of 2.5GB is too low.

+1
Be it Sify or small players like pacenet, In2cable or exatt........all are equally worse, but then we have no other option other than to use one of these sh1ts!

this is your original thread.i think your main problem is that you are not well informed and also not knowing the plan very well and you simple trust the agent/seller not exactly tata broadband speed.

About speed variations, I used to get a constant 1.8Mbps on my 2Mbps connection. Not bad. But since yesterday I have noticed the speed at 9Pm has been capped at 1.3Mbps and the cap gets lifted at around 3 in the morning when the speed gets to an erratic 1.8Mbps.

putting the cost aside i would be happy with your speed

This has a parallel with the saa/bahu soaps in all the chnnells and the crap news in all the so called 24 hours news channells.
Bottomline is we have no other option but to use these services or shift to Sweden :D
