The Online Cheaters. Review on Sify Broadband Internet Connection

Hello Friends...

i like browsing the net a lot and since I am a teenager I like to chat download visit sites etc.once I got the feel of how the internet works I loved logging on to the net.my first connection was a phone connection.the connection was too slow from mtnl.my phone bills ranged between 6000-8000 for every two months and that too I felt I did not use the net that much.

after a year or so we had cable connection from five star cable also known as madhyam.it was an unlimited connection for rs 10000 a year and around 2000 for installment and lan card and wiring etc..i was very happy as now I get an unlimited connection and I will save in the longer run.

well in the begining the connection was good but as more users started usuing the net the connection became slower than mtnl and use to be down quite often.there was a lot of firewalls and a lot of restrictions but I still prefered this over mtnl as it was unlimited.

then in august 2002 satyam finally got clearance from our society and connections were given.they first had given a 15 day free trial package to check the speed and all its facalities.the facalities had no firewall and no restrictions.the speed was amazing and you would get a minimum of atleast 6-8 kb/sec download speed and a high at times over 16-18kb/sec compared to five star and mtnl which were bytes per second.

90% of the residenst shifted to satyam we paid rs 11000 with installation for one year.this is what they said ''THIS IS A ONE YEAR UNLIMITED CONNECTION,UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS,NO FIREWALLS,JUST LIKE OUR DEMONSTRATION AND THE 15 DAY PACKAGE''.everyone was happy as now finally we can enjoy the net and all movies songs at a affordable price.the told us they have given everyone their own ip and gateway and they have a lot of broad band and stuff.they had an excellent service center also.for the first 5-6 months went really well.

now the sad part starts.i get a call from them saying that you are downloading too much and your usage is too much and you are forced to change to one of our plans.i argued with them and spoke to their seniors and many others all gave the same answers.i tried my best and told them I will keep this contract only or refund my full money as its a breach of contract and it is imposed on only a few.then I got in touch with a few and came to know that they too were fighting and they were just dis connected by satyam and were forced to change or get part of the money back.now who ever takes has to take one of their plans.they dont have their own broadband and have borrowed it from vsnl.

the new plans are as follows

10 hours at rs 299 and 20 hours for rs 499 with sunday free and nights at half rate.valid for a month.

40 hours rs 800 valid for 2 months with unlimited downloads.my friends have switched to this one and say that even though they have lessened their internet usage it last only 15-18 days and they are spending more.

the data transfer packs are as follow rs 750 for 300 mb rs 999 for 400 mb rs 4000 for 1 gb.300 mb thats half a movie and u can hardly download anything and do anything much your connection gets over within a week.two mb goes in logging in and out.for browsing 90 mins and mb goes.for people who want to download and use their writers to write mp3.download latest games movies etc have to pay more than 4000 which is absurd.i would advice people not to take satyam as they make false promises and have a real bad name in the market.the speed is good though.
