A line won't solve it
You need backbone infrastructure
Any ISP having pops at both locations with pvc backbone cAn get this done
U need two links
One Doha to ISP pop and one Delhi to ISP pop in respective cities
I for a fact know AT&T can do this
Guess who AT&T buys from? Qtel has landed a cable as part of the
Tata Global Network, so wouldn't it be better to just buy from the (part) owner(s) of the cables directly? The product I suggested *is* the backbone infrastructure, that is point to point carrier-grade Ethernet.
The alternative is to talk to Reliance whose FLAG system also lands in Doha but they're not considered to be "as good".
It's Tata. Definitely, it won't be cheap.
They charge as per their status, Tier 1 ISP even they charge high to end consumers who seek residential internet. Then, what tariff a leased line customers assume???
Pure Arrogance .... Nothing special with its residential/SME internet.
But yeah, I know. For enterprise solution, Tata Communication is preferred first rather than others. It is known for performance and service.
Tata communication sells bandwidth at rate of black gold.
Cheap/expensive is relative, of course - typically when buying direct cable access you pay by the kilometer and Doha isn't even as far from Delhi or Mumbai as Singapore, so if his negotiating skills are any good, it shouldn't be *that* bad. Of course, we have to remember, this is a private line we're talking about so we can't expect like Rs3k a month, but for a medium-large
business even a few lakhs per month isn't a huge ask for this kind of service.
That being said, he'll pay a lot more per megabit for the E1 than he would for say a DS-3 or STM-1 even: instead of up to ~45k/megabit/month he can probably get it down to a mere fraction of that, but in that case I'd rather go for the DS3 anyway because it's only a few times the price but magnitudes more bandwidth. Guess it depends on the budget & needs.
