The reason I left mtnl 3g is bcz of cost.
if they come back with 4500/6months/800GB/2.3mbps constant speed, I will be back with mtnl
I had never faced speed problem with mtnl 3g in my area.

Yep. ₹ 2500 for 2 months @ 2 mbps does not cut it. It would if it was @ 4 mbps.

Moreover, Windows 8 feels even faster without Huawei drivers. :)

Right now in 512 kbps day and 2 mbps night plan of MTNL.

RV Net has promised installation of Fibre/Copper at my place till tomorrow. (Which I think may not be possible due to festive season)
I contacted Hayai by email to let them know that they can start providing internet through that infrastructure (RV Net & Hayai Tie-up).
Email conversation goes this way :-

We have been informed of the same by RV.

As per a notice posted on October 3, we have suspended the creation of new accounts until we get more bandwidth from our upstream delivered to our primary facilities.

This has been done so as to prevent existing users from experiencing slow speeds (and is, unfortunately, necessary due to the speeds on offer). Your account will be created as soon as our new bandwidth comes online.

To which I replied:-
Lmao is this a joke? I went all out of my way to make sure that I get
to enjoy Hayai broadband yet you find excuses over excuses. Do you
even have that many users to finish off your bandwidth?

Anyway, how many years will it take for you to acquire a mere 20 mbps?

They replied promptly saying:-
No, it is not a joke. We have recently upgraded our capacity from the main NOC to Mahim (where you will be served from) by 400%, but our order for more bandwidth from Tata etc hasn't yet been fulfilled, and this is what we are waiting for.

Considering the speeds we are offering, we have to be careful ensure that we don't fall afoul of the regulations (it would be very easy for us to go over the 50:1 contention ratios prescribed by the DoT) but we also have to take in to account the customer experience - it would be very bad if we promise you 10 or 20 or 100mbps and you only get 2 - whereas by managing growth we are able to ensure that subscribers get the speeds they are paying for.

It's a good sign in some ways because it proves that demand is outpacing supply but bad in others because it means delays happen more frequently than we'd like (obviously we're not only ordering 20mbps at a time, but we're also not yet in a position to order 100gbps at a time either).

We expect the upstream work to be completed this week itself - so most likely before the cabling is installed at your place.

Funny :)

sorry for a little offtopic.
 
I must appreciate, you are so hopeful!

OT: (since the post was made here in that context, i believe i will have to do reply post here)

Ask them these, if you want.

Since you are attempting to become their customer, I hope they answer.

Where is Hayai bb sales team? ie. where is their office?
No. of customers Hayai has? (Official Hayai users not billed by 3rd party ISP)
Current bandwidth Hayai have got?
How much they have demanded from Tata?

And I was just trying to find their office address on their website. I still have not found it on "Contact us" page. Clearly Hayai still does not seem to be having office (other than on paper)

While doing that I landed on this google map made by Mathew himself. It shows 5 points of presence.

Out of 5, 4 were made in Dec 2011. And 1 was made on June 4 2012.

That indicates, Hayai has not expanded much after its grand opening in last Diwali.


I dont intend to take business away from Hayai. But then look at this conversation on twitter between Vinayak Dandavati ‏and MgCarley. It clearly looks like Hayai as ONE MAN ARMY.

Yeah Amish I will ask. But till then it's still a fight between MTNL 3G and Hayai. Something which is slow, unreliable and costly with something which has no proof of existence.Who knows MTNL might have some exciting 3G offers for Diwali.
 
Haha, MTNL will never have anything for diwali. Observing from past 2-3 years.

2500 seems okay for me i think with the speed of 2-3mbps... because i don't see any other isp giving me that...
