Attractive Broadband plans from Railwire!

[cvvikram]

Hey guys,

Just came across through the site of Railwire(Enterprise of Railtel, a government initiative) and was stumbled upon the great plans on broadband they offer.

Railwire - Tariffs & Plans

Is anybody over here using their service? Why is it still not popular?:huh:

^.. Lolz its been posted here since ages.. 2-3 threads already... Please search them...

One reason it is unpopular is because the broadband service is only available in Bangalore.

 

[dark.lord.rules]

i don think its yet launched out .... just at banglore no where else bt as soon as dey launch it its gonna get popular in days

 

[abhisinalkar]

yeah its not der in mumbai

So if it is available only in Bangalore, have any bangloreans experienced their service? Is it available atleast in Mysore?

The map given there is not correct. Its available in some other areas of Bangalore also. I am using it since 11th of this month. Already bought a new 500 GB hdd because I ran out of space already..

As others pointed out, currently Railwire is only available for seletced areas of in and around Banaglore.

(It will great to have 1 Mbps connection for 1200 without FUP)

They are only in few areas of Bangalore, Wonder why are they not expanding

Someone write letter to Mamta Baneerjee atleast she will know there is something like this going on & it can earn Railways lots of profit

 

[wayneroons]

for those who dont know railwire operates thru fiberoptic netwrk direct to home no modem nothing..unlike oder ISPs which have last mile copper connectivity......it wud take ages to dig up the land and lay fibr optic lines all over india...dats why railwire's connection is so limited...though they seem to mail all prospective customers the so-called "pan india plans this year"...dey havnt done nething for d last 2 yrs... :no:

 

[uziel]

I called them to ask about Delhi availabilty, they said, surrent plans are there andd some work is going on.

 

[BIKI]

I am going to bangalore from bhubaneswar...not to mention, i will try this out for sure !

Dear Mr. Shah,

Warm Greetings from RailWire!

This is w.r.t.your recent online enquiry with RailWire (appended below).

We are glad to receive your enquiry.

Coimbatore will come under our pan-India rollout plans. From the customer care desk, we don’t have good visibility into the exact dates/timelines. However, you could expect us to reach coimbatore towards the latter half of year 09.

With warm regards,

Team - RailWire Operations

Did anyone notice

*Port speeds are on 1:4 contention ratio

??!!

means the rated speed is 4times the actual promised speed during peak usage..

you will get UPTO that speed if there is enough Bandwidth to spare on their side

they can downgrade your bandwidth when there is not enough... (to upto its 1/4th )
