Heaven help anyone who chooses to go in for this service. Despite having over a hundred year old legacy, this service is run by a bunch of jokers! By the way, what exactly does "Tri-Band" mean? Will someone from MTNL attempt to answer?:-)
It is a pity that a country that had Internet before much of Asia, way back in the late eighties is now having the worst penetration or service standards in Asia.
The service has serious problems. The billing system is bust; to use the unlimited download feature(from midnight to 8 am only) one has to physically switch off and on, the DSL router. Their DNS servers keep crashing, which is why some times sites fail to open all of a sudden. Their billing is wierd and so are their packages. For the money I have paid them, one could have got unlimited downloads from any other service provider. Which is why after just using them for a few months, I am switching to another service provider. In the year of the broadband, they must be the only service which does not have an unlimited downloads package. It is apparent that they are out to milk the cow. Is Sam Pitroda listening!
End of the day one realises that these folks got into this just to be in there. They can only splice wires! Thank god their monopoly is over!
