Sify broadband is by far the worst service that you can ever get since they have let out the cabling or let me say subscription etc and serviving to local cable operators/ppl having fancy stores or cool drink shops etc. Where can i go and explain severe packet drops to ppl like them when the idiots in their call centre always ask a 12 hrs ( and it usually takes 48 to 60 hrs time period to respond).
While it works i cant blame them coz they are doin reasonably well on a comparitive basis but THAT SELDOM HAPPENS. So on the whole it is Still the worst service that i have ever noticed!!!

Hmmm Ive been following this broadband issue for some time now. Problem is that we are forced to live in a country where the ‘idiots’ running it will keep it a 3rd world country. That way the rich get richer and the poor die.
I use powersufer and honestly its not great. But to an extent it might be better than other providers. 64k shared. I usually get 5+Kbps downloads almost throughout the day. Sometimes touches 6 – 7 Kbps. It used to work great till reliance took over. Now its screwed up. They have a stupid login software that slows down the latency (ping). This has affected my gaming serverly.

Ha guys why are you all blabbering about the broadband connection , what you can do is install Internet accelerators or speed tweeks and you will get speeds of 64-90kbps from a 32kbps unlimited line use a good download accelerators, let it download all night and give option to shutdown automatically, and tell me if you find good results you can mail me, this is the way you can make the best use of the so called 32kbps unlimited.

I am under the shared 48kbps+ pack of sify now. I was really pissed off when I got to know that there is a limit on the downloads. In spite of their good service, sify’s customer care division, really frustrates me. When I call them for any problem, what I get is a sweet “Thank you Mr. So & So”. Nothing else. There is no technical person to assist in solving problems. All they do is make sure that they convey their gratitude for a user, keeping mum about the problems faced.
When Sify had the interest in updating the tariffs in the web pages and in the pamphlets distributed, care is not taken to ensure that the conditions of a plan are put down explicitly. I don’t even know whether it is legal to impose a condition that is not stated anywhere. The day after I had booked and “paid” for my connection they called me up for telling me about the tariff increase. Know what “I paid them without a squeak”. They shouldn’t have asked me in the first place as I had finished acquiring the package. Only the installation was left. Sounds as if Maruti can impose a new increase on the price of a car after the user has purchased it and is ready to take it home. I complied with them because of the cheap connection tariffs. And now all I get for such a good gesture is a shocking info after 15days of purchasing the connection, about the hidden limits. Why isn’t the company showing any interest to update such limits in its webpage? Anyway, I am continuing with Sify, mumbling all the time. I am now shifting to the 128kbps night unlimited plan, fro mthe fourth of next month.
