My first net account ie, my vsnl 100 hrs pack got over in just 1 month & gave me a fone bill of rs.4000!!! I really felt for it coz I m not yet working & my dad had to fork out tht money. I really felt a lot bad. Since then.. considering the hi fone bills we have to fork out when we use the net & the faulty services we get from our cable providers, & for people for whom visiting the net is like visiting their fav hangouts the most no f times in a day...then I recommend DSL coz of a few imp.reasons.
Reliance had already announced its optic fibre internet services...but where is it??? The wait is not a problem for loyal reliance members & other netties. but when u think of proper net providers in India & that too with affordable rates its tuf to find one though there r many. The prices of dsl r a bit high but neways...dsl gives u mind boggling speed of 512 kbps constant, that means faster downloads & faster access to the net. I myself m a big example of this as earlier my net sessions wud last 1 hr & now 20 mins!!!
The only problems r wen their main server is down or otherways...but this happens once in months in extremely busy cities & sumtimes in festivities like Ganpati, Dusera etc. But then they also give us a free dial up back up which also gives a decent speed. The net is a one time investment & wen I stand today after 2 yrs of using dsl....its really been worth it.
Suppose u use a dial up account which gives u a fone bill of around 4000 per month & multiply this into 12 months it gives u 48000 per year!!!...So instead of this wont u mind spending half the amount for a permanent connection that gives double the speed, faster connectivity & stability?? Surely any smart man will...
So as far as dishnet goes.... they r doin a gr8 job in providing net facilities coz they have tailormade plans for every home & businesses & when at all reliance or others do enter this market its sole big competitor will be dsl. M-i-n-d u Reliance & Satyam guys.. the only thing dsl requires is still more on customer support & make rates more feasible. Thts it. But for u ppl whom using hi tech things is a must & the net is a necessity....go 4 dsl & dont at all mind the price u r paying...coz its worth it. Wts bad if u pay 999 pm for unlimited access. I have 1gb dwnload capacity & even after using 6 hrs max in the day, my monthly limit reaches only 450 mb!! If u dont believe.... m ready for a demo at my home to show sumthing really zip, zap n zoooooomm...
So...go 4 dsl guys...make ur day.
