Probably any ISP in the market today is better than Sify Broadband. I have been subscribing to their 1GB 1 month limited package for a long time now, and trying in every possible way to make it work. But these are just a bunch of crooks who are out there to cheat you. Given the number of pending litigations in the judiciary you cant expect much succour from there either. The best thing you can do is BOYCOTT SIFY BROADBAND and spread the word far and wide. Squeeze them out of the market. Share your experiences with Sify on every internet forum possible. This is a consumer-driven market and we are the ones who call the shots.
Every night the CTO turns off the hub and service in not available until 10:00 or 11:00 on the next day. Download speed is around 9/10 KBps most of the time as against the 32 KBps paid for. Service is at its worst. There is rarely ever any follow-up action on complaints. Most importantly, irrespective of how many complaint you lodge the overall quality of service NEVER improves. Nothing ever registers with them. This is a rip-off. Avoid Sify like the plague!
