omg, that 256/64 plan looks amazing, why the hell dont these hathway guys provide connection in my area....

oh and can i have their email address please?
 
hehe...funny how they are charging 1000/- pm for 64/256 2GB in Liteway2 and the very next plan says 64/256 unltd for 995/- pm....

What gives...

@Eazy, just check the reliability of their connection from someone who uses it in your area.....I had to leave Hathway because of their poor service quality and rather frequent downtimes...but this was in chennai and the bombay service quality may be better...

BTW needless to say, there is no service level agreement or guarantee.....

I have read your posts about your problems and I must say that I have never had such problems with Hathway here - I have used their services for 3 years and in these 3 years at MAX there must have been about 3 breakdowns in their service. Hathway has been very good for me. At the moment I use their 256kbps 995/- account.
 
No big deal abt these plans. Airtel now have a similar thing. And they at leaqst provide 256kbps UPLOAD speed. What is the point of restricting u/l speed to 64??

I'd doubt that...The A in the ADSL srtands for Asymmetric meaning the u/l and d/l speeds are assymetric, i.e.not equal....However, since close to 80% of your Internet experience is limited to d/ing, you don't really feel it......
 
well frm this month i m going bak to old plan....night 8-8..........i thght by nov hathway will come with some schemes...but they reduced the installation reg charges but no favour for us......also it will do airtel trick....will upgrade user to 512kbps...may b next yr.......but wont reduce cost....and i guess now 1.1k is damn mor...than 8-8 plan also we get full sunday too

Restricting upload to 64 is very clever move by the Hathway people.It'll slow down the torrent downloads substancially, so it'll save up their bandwidth.
So for people downloading the ahem stuff ;), look elsewhere :ohyeah:
 
Well, my friend has an Airtel 256 Kbps Unltd plan and I've an A/C n filelist.org which is registered torrent site where they track ur uploads as well. My A/C UL/DL ratio has increased dramatically after my friend started using my A/C. To conclude, the upload speeds are always higher in BitComet for us than D/L speeds. D/L run at 25~26 while upload also runs at 25~28 Kbps.
 
Airtel has had those plans. Besdies i'm still there gltiched speeds lol.
Hathway and Airtel need to advertise these plans more, so other ISP like Sify and Bsnl can either-
1. Get the real BB like Airtel and Hathway
2. Just shut down.

Hathway? real Broadband? You must be joking... 64k upload cap.. block ftp, torrent ports.. thankfully the idiots didnt block ports like 5000,6000.

Those so called customer care executives say my speed is slow because i use "mac". I mean wtf!

Talking about compariosn between indian isp's....256 down and 64 up with unlm for 995 is better than 256 down and 64 up with capped limits for 995 with both Sify and BSNL handout....of course the real BB is yet to arrive in India.

Also, which ISP's did block ports from 5000-6000?? Does Airtel block any ports?

BSNL is helpless. They can't provide bandwidth to you because they don't have it themselves. The government did a big goof up by selling VSNL to Tata. Now Tata are charging high rates for providing bandwidth. Their rates are among the highest in the world. So, from next time rather than blaming BSNL/MTNL blame Mr. Ratan Tata. That greedy SOB.

Well, Hathway is 256 kbps just on paper. In reality, max speed is like 220 and that too even in the night. During the day, max speed is like 150-160.

As Dayanidhi Maran once said in his interview to Outlook Magazine in February 2005,"First you sell off your foreign arm and now you beg for bandwidth".

Not all people want unlimited plans like you. i know many people in quite a few places who are ok with 1 GB bandwidth or 3 Gb(i think) if you take the business plan.

Not all people download movies from mininova :P

But I dont now anyone with Hathway who has been able ti ue BT.
if that's because it blocks ports, they can easily change that, but i doubt it. Maybe they didn't block ports, just the BT trafficing.
 
Hathway doesnt Block ports. Atleast not mine.

Last time they blocked my ports.. Ares.. BT.. Limewire.. eDonkey..Shareaza stopped working.

I called and talked to the manager for 15 mins.

Got it fixed. Since then.. no problems...

Did he say any reason as to why they blocked it? Said anything like downloading from BT or limewire is illegal and stuff?
