Think of Iqara if you have lots of time (never depend on this connection if you are 'must surfing personality'), lots of patience, cool mind. People like its speed because before iqara they used to dial up internet. So when they first use iqara they are very impressed by its speed, but in real world if you compare with another product, you will find that the speed gimmick is bullshit. If you have any problem then it will take minimum 15 days. I have faced following problem and it has been resolved between 15 to 60 days of interval or never solved. 1)getting connection-15days 2)cabling-20days 3)pinning of cable after cabling5days 4)low speed 5)change of plan{i move to 1 gb plan where it require to be other type of cable and a modem} 6)after changing plan activating my new plan-2months 7)getting again new cabling-1month 8)same point 2,3,4 repeat.------ My advice: 1) go for iqara only if you have no option. 2) Keep another connection i.e. dialup ready to use in place of iqara. 3) Don’t call the so called call center. Just call to your local city office for 2 time and then visit your self, keep shouting in office (as they are thick skinned) create danger atmosphere in their office then your problem might solve.
Finally I discontinue Iqara and acquire BSNL Data One. Here is compression according to my experience.
Iqara: Download Speed-Never 256kbps with/without dedicated modem, Upload speed-60 kbps, Installation time-7 Days, Frequency of problem-once a 15 days(I use iqara for 1 year), Resolution time-7-10 day , Customer care-3 marks out of 5, Technical help-1 mark out of 5
Data One: Download speed-Always, Minimum 256 kbps, Upload speed-50 kbps, Installation time-7 days, Frequency of problem-Once in 6 months (I am using data one since 6 months),Resolution time-3 to 4 days, Customer care-3 marks out of 5, Technical help-3 marks out of 5
