Cable internet providers like Beam Cable Systems, Sify or Hathway don't have their own internet bandwidth, instead they purchase bandwidth from ISP's having their own bandwidth and sell it to customers for low prices but the catch here is that its shared.
In simple terms Beam Cable purchases a single 512kbps unlimited plan from BSNL and sells the same to 8 or more customers as 512kbps unlimited to each.....its shared, that's the reason why you get 15t/22kbps download speed in day and full download speeds 70t/80kbps only after midnight.
See, its not cheap but more useless, btw dynamic ip is another reason why one shouldn't opt for such isp's.
Tata Communications, Airtel, BSNL and RCOM are the only four internet service providers in India who have their own internet bandwidth and they are the only four who provide static ip and dedicated bandwidth 24x7 to their customers so opt from any one these.
You're only about half right about all that. Beam purchases bandwidth in bulk from Bharti, Reliance and Tata (by bulk, I mean like 155 or more mbit/s at a time). Given that Beam has its own FTTB network, they can choose to distribute that bandwidth however they see fit, at whatever price allows them to be profitable. BSNL is in no way involved.
Furthermore, Airtel, RCOM and TATA are *NOT* the only ISPs who can provide static IP addresses OR dedicated connections - despitethe fact that the companies providing these services procure their own bandwidth from those Airtel, RCOM and Tata.
Also, there is nothing wrong with Dynamic IPs. APNIC prefers ISPs to distribute IP addresses dynamically rather than statically.
