I've been using Sify broadband in Bangalore for about 8 months. When the service is up - it's fabulous - good bandwidth, instant connectivity, value for money etc. However the last mile connectivity is a royal pain with Sify taking no responsibility for that part of the story.
My last mile link has been down for over 3 weeks now (wonder whether I even have broadband at home), with no answers from the local guy, or from Sify. Now that the local guy has fixed the local problem - Sify servers are down for the last FIVE (5) days. Unbelievable, but here's a national grade ISP, whose servers are down for 5 days, and they don't have a clue.
I would not recommend Sify broadband for anyone who wants a serious option. 2 of my friends are on Sify broadband as well, and they're much worse off that I am!!
Go for sify only if:
You desparately need broadband (good quality when it's available)
Don't mind going back to dialup every now and then
Don't mind if the service is down for 10 days in a month
Don't mind non-existent customer service
