Regular
i think i will have to stick to indian servers 
firstly a warm hello to you all...as you can see i'm new here...i'm from pune and i have a 6 months unlimited account from sify.....presonally quite unsatisfied with it....lace of speed...and the even bigger problem....unable to play onlinemy problem is that when i cant play counter strike online....it just does not connect to steam saying that seam cannot work in offline mode.....and as a resuly i cant update it too.....at the same time in the game when i "find servers" it says that unable to contact master server...now for the surprising part....when i connect using dial-up...i am able to contact the master server and retrieve all the servers...and believe it or not....even play online using a dial-up connection......and at late nights i can even play lag free......now this really makes me wonder if i should stop using sify....and switch back to dial-up....phonecalls the the customer care have been futile with the reply that they cannot do anything other than forward the matter to the chennai office or me telling them to open the necessary ports....any help would be greatly appreciated....
Looks like Sify mostly blocks the port used for CS.What makes them do that I wonder. They are sure a sneaky lot :angry:
why would an ISP block a gaming port? Saving bandwidth perhaps.

Heh, I thought so too, nothing else comes to my mind. Those sneaky b*st**ds.
Spitfire,
If you had bothered to read this whole thread from the beginning then you would have found the solution. Here it is from a couple of posts above--
I found the solution. Sify had blocked port 27015. They had to open it for me in order to play counter strike.[/b]

Aren't they attending to your requests to open 27015?
You can go to this site http://www.grc.com, click on the "Shields Up" link and let them probe your port 27015 after temporarily shutting down any firewall that you have.
If the result says "Stealth" then it means Sify is still blocking port 27015 and not listening to your requests.
There was another site someone else posted to check this out. You could look around the forum to find it. But it probably does the same thing as this site.
