Bsnl broadband in Punjab

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

I was in Punjab for a few days and had first hand experience of bsnl broadband, or shall we say bsnl narrowband ? I went to atleast 3 peoples houses to see if thiers worked any better but they are all the same. Firstly they are lucky to get connected and if and when they do the speed is just crap plain crap and for google.com home page it takes atleast 5-10 seconds to load that small page and no doubt the problem is at bsnl’s end coz google has got huge server farms here in India.

Leave the broadband from bsnl apart because bsnl broadband doesnt really exist in Punjab coz I wont call those connection broadband as they are no better then a good dial up connetion.Now shall we listen to my dataone dial up story? Yea.. lets do it then… I was fed up with bsnl by that time and I just for checking sake dialed thier dial up number so I can atleast check my mails if nothign else but to be honest with you after trying for one hour I just gave up on bsnl, both dialup and broadband.

Still the same line…   Airtel broadband rocks…

Sify broadband review

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

I have been using sify broadband service for the last eight months now and I have tried everything to get airtel broadband connection but the problem is that airtel dont have thier services in my area so its still waiting time for me.

I used to have sify broadband’s 64kbps connection which used to give me good speeds when it worked but I cant remember a day when sify broadand didint go down and I had constant connectivity.Call Sify broadband and they refer you to the great Indian cable wala who inturn says sify end is causing problems and its not the cable guys problem so they just keep passing the buck on each other which is the most annoying thing on earth.

I got Sify broadband’s 256kbps connection yesterday and the connection has been fine since yesterday probbably just pot luck for me today.Speed isint bad either,I tried downloading a few files and some times got a constant 30-32kB/sec which is not bad atall but that was at 2am in the night and in day time I tested the connection 3-4 times and the speed wont touch the 20kB/sec mark but then what else do you expect from sify broadband.

I wont say I dont have anything personal with sify coz I surely do,If I was the telcom minister of India I would do my best to get sify broadband’s isp license cancelled.

Looking for a new broadband connection?  Go for Airtel broadband coz I have it at my other house and its the best I have ever seen in India.
Airtel broadband all the way…

India broadband

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

India is going through a phase of major changes as far as internet penetration is concerned and a lot of isp’s are in the race but as far as I have seen all of them are far behind airtel broadband when it comes to quality of service and customer service.

Bsnl broadband has the largest market share and in my opinion is not able o cope with the number of customer it has got and the major problem being the sarkari nature of bsnl broadband which leaves it far behind Airtel broadband.

Airtel broadband is provided via adsl technology and thier internet packages are by far the best in the market and they deliver what they say they will and not trap customers like sify broadband does.

Looking for an isp with excelent up time? look no furthur just go for Airtel broadband.

PS: I am not getting paid to praise airtel broadband and nor is this blog associated with airtel broadband in any way and nor do they control the content here.I just writ what I experience and will try to deliver correct information to my vistors.
