I have recently taken Sify broadband internet connection
As I stay in Navi Mumbai there were not many options for me
as both state owned MTNL and Reliance expressed their inability to provide the
internet connection
I was a bit reluctant to go in for SIFY after reading so many negative feedback about their
connectivity ,service etc.
but I had a talk with their agent in our area who assured that there is no TV cable used in this
and I can get upto 256kbps speed
Though at best it is only 128k ,but still it is much better than going for your local
local cable operator
Just to check their connection claims I had a speedometer installed and it shows at around 128kbps
I initially had a talk with all those who had got the service in our same building and none of them had any problems so far with the connectivity so I decided to give it a try myself
As I had booked the connection on a Saturday I was told their operator will come the next day to complete the installation .I was skeptical but he did come and completed the same in a few minutes
Their installation charges are high (Rs 1000) but at least Iam not at the mercy of my cable operator
The transfer rate is also quite acceptable at 22-27k/s
I would have preferred a fibre optic network but that seems to be a pipedream in Navi Mumbai anyway
