Hi,
So the jackasses of MTNL have ****** up a perfectly working setup at my place in Mumbai. Now my old folks are left without Internet. So I'm thinking of adding a redundant line. They dont require anything fancy - a volume based plan and a low latency connection ( for VoIP ) would be required at the very least. Reliance has cabling but I was burnt the last time I used their services. They're supposed to have improved since then but I dont want to fall into *that* trap once again.
Recommendations are welcome.
i used MTNL dsl earlier it worked well but came with a fat bill. also when it stopped working no one knew why. i use reliance bb delivered thru wimax in bombay. it works well. i use Tata indicom bb delivered thru wimax in bangalore . it works well but they deactivate your account when your payment is processed ( it did happen once ! ) . also sometimes it randomly stops and u really need to speak to a geek in tata ( rare spieces ) to get it sorted. they actually had to reconfigure the device in one case.
for this wimax service they fix a dish type thing and suspends a lan cable in to your home POE device which will then feed lan cable to your laptop / computer / wireless device
