1997 just came back from college, and joined a dad's friend company where we had 64kbps link from STPI, the company was working on websites at that time itself and outsourcing. We were allowed to browse at night times. being a sys admin we had to come at nights to make some uploads too. initial use was for email then sites for some reading chatting etc.. slowly 2000 year joined a different company we had 256kbps, for home/ we had our own access server which i installed for managers also for me, from home on a 28.8 kbps modem , which i thought was enough too. 2005 i guess i got bsnl dsl at home , 2007 i got reliance dsl for a month, it almost never worked, 2007 mid onwards only airtel, bsnl has no capacity in the new area.

First isp: Sify on bsnl - free pkg that came with my then new 'LG' computer in March 2004.but before that used to access internet in cyber cafe & also friends place since 2000 !Changed to TATA Walky sometime in 2004/05 & then to BSNL ADSL since 2005/06. Have also tried TATA & Reliance Wimax. Hutch/Vodafone & Airtel GPRS. BSNL & TATA EVDO connections in 2008/09 aswell.Currently having BSNL ADSL Home 500 + TATA Photon EVDO 1500UL services...But still waiting for true 24/7 high speed internet service at affordable cost to be launched - like that of Railwire to be rolled out in our locality
