Beam cable Hyd 2mbps@999

Hi guys,gr8 news for beam cable users.
I just received a message fromBeam cable that my net connection of 768kbps has been automatically upgraded to 2mbps.No FUP. M already getting speed of 2mbps since 8-10 days.I htought it was a mistake but they have sent an official message that they have upgraded net speed to 2mbps at no additional cost :bleh::tongue:...Long live Beam Cable!!!!
 
Dude,

I spoke to them right now, they say they have a 2mbps plan unlimited for 1000 bucks.

I am seriously considering switching over from my reliance 300kbps plan . how has your experience with them been. is it worth the switch.

Do you get a constant speed .. have you been able to use youtube in HD mode ?

do torrents work fine ? (I download a lot of linux distros .. heck no, pron* :) )
 
Even i was tlaking to them right now, was about to create a thread when I saw your post

am thinking of getting it connected, shudnt have gone for tikona lol..

anyway, can you please tell me what pings you are getting to the ips below? and your location in hyd? if ure not comfortable disclosing it in public please PM me

111.119.212.202

120.138.101.243

EDIT: Can anyone with beam cable ping the above ip address and let me know what pings you are getting? the plans look amazing, 4mbps unlimited is for 1500 bux per month...

I'm from Safilguda and thats from a 256kbps connection(although I guess latency is irrespective of bandwidth), my sister has been using it for close to five months and I know first hand that the service guys are uber prompt and so far there have been 0 unscheduled downtimes.

I am actually working on figuring that out myself. Its cable net and I lack prior familiarity with non ADSL connections. I'll post here once I manage to figure out.

PS : Rep'd the topic starter. Thanks man, I cant wait to swap my BSNL connection with my sister's beam connection. :rofl:
 
Fine, all said and done , I'm getting Beam . I hope it's not as Sucky in Hyd as it was three years ago. They are charging Rs. 500 as the installation fee .. fair enough !

I'll test on my system in the night...currently in office
 
well ive given the guy a call, will see once he comes what info i can get, will probably get it for a month atleast and check the service

can anyone else from beam cable ping the above ips and post back results as well?
 
dude, bugger off with your malaysian township, i dont consider all the madhapur area to be part of hyderabad, no offenece to people living there, I dont mean it in a communal way, its just that the culture there is quite different as compared to the heart of the city :p

but am pretty sure beam would give you service there :p

booked a 6 months plan today, will get connected in ~10 days apparently, keeping fingers crossed

EDIT: Btw there is a 6mbps line as well for 2.5k per month :p
 
here from a 4Mbps@Rs 1500 Beam connection

:cool2:

I was a loyal Airtel customer,b4 moving to beam 6 months ago. Airtel didnt give me a connection at my new area :mad: .
Beam takes time to give connection,however once it is given,no issues as of now,transferred the connection twice on BeaM.
Happy for now,
Downloaded 350Gb in last 12 days or so :p
 
do these guys only provide connectivity in HYD?
or are they present in other parts of the country?
i'm tired with the bloody downtimes of Hathway.
