i agree. i have both in my area. i mean my cablewalla provides the choice of honesty net as well as fivenet. but he always keeps telling ppl to go for hns. though if we ask for fivenet he does provide it. i guess he has bigger margins with hns. hns also does provide upto 25mbps(not unlimited) in my area. but i had more downtime with hns than fivenet. so started using fivenet.

What?
HNS is Closed company? HNS-Ripunjay Getting off it and Joining Hayai? Fivenet has Reasonably Good uptime from what i know.
new plans will be implemented by march end.
today when my old plan expired, i got a call from them surprisingly for the 1st time, saying they have come out with new plans. i opted for the 4 mbps @ 2000 pm. but then the new plan was not implemented. upon calling them, they are saying new plans will be implemented by march end.
if they are implementing from march end, why they are claming new plans from 26th jan?? it's not like they have get it approved from TRAi.
so, i am back to 2 mbps @ 1800

Now 1&1 is also offering following Fivenet plans with DC++ in my area. Sadly the 10 Mbps 10K Annual Fivenet plan is missing from the list.
@ashish
1&1's own plans mentioned in first post of the topic seems cheaper than Fivenet plans but fivenet has DC++.
I have used Fivenet in other area but not with their DC++ functionality.
Does Fivenet's DC++ hubs have lots of content which can then be downloaded at superfast speeds.
Little bit undecided between 1&1's own plans v/s Fivenet DC++ plans offered by them.
What do you suggest ?

Yup. their own plan is cheaper than this piecemeal plan of fivenet. i cannot understand why the annual plan is missing, which was the USP of fivenet. it seems they deliberately skipped the annual plan to keep churning abnormal profits. in that case fivenet should not had entered into an agreement with them. i haven't used fivenet, so i can't comment on dc++, but if the annual plan is available i will definitely opt for it. currently the infrastructure will be the same and maintained by 1&1 for both the plans. only difference will the servers. 1&1 provides HNS and fivenet their own.As for choosing between the plans, rs 400 extra for dc++ will be worth if it is on 24 hrs and data shared is 200 tb +
i have used hns in the past and i prefer keeping away due to disconnections. things might be different in ur area though.Shrenik Trivedi

i took 1Mbps unlimited yearly plan.... got really frustrated by negligence and "i-dont care" behaviour of Airtel and its customer care plus the stupid "Fair usage policy"This plan of 1&1 broadband has been giving me consistent downspeed of 120-140 kbps.... which is really good... while playing online games (i play MMORPG League of Legends) sometimes i experience lags... but its only sometime... since the game server is in L.A. (USA)... otherwise the broadband is really worth exploiting. 
Hope this helps
Hope this helps1&1 broadband service is the one of worst experiences of mine.
They do not provide any support,
Just keep on telling n/w engineer will get back to you. No one gets back. You keep on chasing them.
No one is concerned. They do not know if service is down in any area.
staff is rude. not professional at all. It feels like they are sleeping and we are disturbing them by calling.
They tell you to disconnet service if you ae not happy with them.

I have been using 1&1 broadband for over 4 months now in Panchpakadi,Thane. My plan is 5mbps for 10k/year. At start i was a bit skeptical to go the yearly plan on a new connection but after seeing their demo results i was encouraged.
I would say that 1&1 is amazing... i consistently get nearly 6mbps download and upload and in my 4months of usage,it was never down... and when it did go down it was back in like 5 minutes... I can't comment on customer service as in my 4 months of use i never had any problems.
