I have just perchased the 128Kbps Unlimited pack for Rs500....It Gives 7-8Kbps during the day and 13-16Kbps at night .... so I think this pack is good.....But there is a 150MB limitation if that is exceeded my days will get reduced.....Hopefully till now no such thing has happened...

Why is the 128 kbps pack Rs. 995 in Delhi??? What does Sify get from differential pricing of such a degree? Idiotic morons.

I think blocking of p2p apps/ports isn't even something Sify admits. Has anyone got Customer Care to admit it on phone/email/chat?

Cant say exactly about other P2Ps you folks use,but they did block winmx when my downloads/usage got too much. Although most of the time winmx has worked fine for me.

i have been using sify broadband in Mumbai for last 10 months and satisfaction rate is 50/50.
i have been using the much discussed '128kbps unlimited' connection with a download limt of 150 mb/day for last 4 months and overall i am satisfied with it.
i have noted a few points here:

1-:- the said limt of 150mb is non-existant. i download about 400 - 600 mb/day using P2P and Bittorrent downloads. but it depends on various factors. first of all "128kbps" is a load of bullshit. the usual connection speed is available in timed slots.
from morning 9.00 am to night 10.00 pm the effective speed is maximum 64kbps. (download rates of 6-8 kB/sec). and from night 10.00pm to morning 9.00 am it is max 120 kbps to 132kbps. (download rates are 14 kB/sec - 18 kB/sec). and i have yet to have any number of days to be deducted from my connection.

2-:- when the costumer care wa contacted for the speed problem during the daytime, they said that the Pack was "upto 128kbps" meaning they can give maximum speed of 128kbps but minimum speed is not specified. it is a small loophole for them.

3-:- since last 15 days the connection has a annonying habit of getting expired if you are not using the computer. i mean it is a usual habit for heavy downloaders to keep their pc on for full night so as to get maximum speed for their downloads, but recntly the connection expires around 3.30 am in the night. i usually use the net to browse till 2.30am then go to sleep. so the downloads get disrupted and my connection is wasted. :angry:

if any of you fellow sify users have a similar experiance to share pls mail me.

use easysify . it can auto login for you whenever ur session expires .so ur downloads are not disrupttedUpto 128 kbps unlimited pack is a house with roof of 128 and no floor so sify can go down as much it wants ..

U mean if some body goes for a connection whose speed is 'upto 512kbps' the ISP can get away by providing himspeeds of 64kbps just because he has mentioned to word UPTO....sheer JUNK i would sayThe word upto refers that the conenction will have a max. speed of the specified value and at times may be get reduced to 90% of max value. Not more than that...What seems to be the case now in Inida is ISPs fooling around with public saying that u will get 50-70% of the max speed....thats really unfairAnd more over people are getting happy for those crapy speeds...I have seen a post (in the same topic) that a person took a 128kbps (16kBps) connection and was still happy for getting 7-8kBps for the same connection....bull shit. The isps are making a fool out our self and we are just sitting plainly happily (although we can do nothing about it)The only way out is that TRAI has to take an initative in the interest of WE THE PEOPLE and formualte rigid rules and keep monitoring these pests....

i know people who think sify is good coz it saves him dialup bills. his only requirement of the net was chat!

I just talked CC , they say all night unlimited packs are capped. They basically said any pack which has the "unlimited" attached to it has a limitation of 150MB/day. But every1 on this forum has confirmed that there are no caps on NIGHT UNLIMITED PACKS. I am confused right now. Can any1 clarify?.
