hathway
I go to to my modem page http://192.168.100.1/
The results I get are these :
Name
WebSTAR DPC2100R2 Modem Serial Number
207xxxxxx Cable Modem MAC Address
00:xx:xx:xx:xx:x Hardware Version
2.1 Software Version
v2.0.2r1256-060303 Receive Power Level
0.9 dBmV Transmit Power Level
61.0 dBmV Cable Modem Status
Operational
Transmit Power Level :61.0 dBmV

For connecttion to be stable transmit power level should be around 35-47 somewhat , mine is welll above 60 .
I call up the hathway technical support , they have no f*king clue about it .I tell em I get download sppeds like 10 kbps ( 256kbps plan ) , get heavy lag during playing online games , etc .
Guess whats their answer :
1) There must some virus on your pc
2) your Os must not be updated
3) There must be problem with your pc .


When I told that stupid hathway guy , my pc is virus free , my os is updated and there is no problem with my PC . He says he will check with some technical person !


I had 2 ISPs before mtnl and pacenet , they were not best but they were somewhat decent .


I need internet for mainly 2 things Downloading and online gaming , and hathway is not good for either !


Now I m screwed cuz hathway wont fix this problem ( they didnt do anything abt this since i took this isp abt 1 year ago) and the only other isp there in my area is mtnl ( which doesnt have any good unlimited schemes) .


Hathway is cheap , but you want any performance and stability dont ever go for hathway ! ( if u do they will rip u apart ).
 
I still can't believe you bought Hathway 'Broad' band. :rofl:Man MTNL is a lot better than Hathway. Also, stay away from Sify.Check whether Airtel broadband is available in your area.
 
I live in Raheja estate ( The owner of raheja owns hathway ) , so they dont allow any other Isps in my complex !Mtnl proves to be expensive and the only other option is reliance wimax which sucks for gaming I guess ! Right now I would kill for Tata connection !:wall:
