No ISP in Sector 46, Gurgaon ?

Update :

So after denying my request of installation the first time, the Airtel guys called me up and said that they are in the process of wiring up the region and they should commence services in a weeks time presumably. Let's see how long do they take.

meanwhile look at their plans are curse yourself for being in an area where there is no alternative but airtel.

...where there is no alternative but airtel.

While searching for more options, I stumbled upon Rail Wire broadband services scheduled to be launched in a week's time over there. Any info how's the service? Though I am researching about it on my own as well.

Update 2: Been more than a week, never heard back from Airtel. Had entered my details on BSNL website 8 days ago and got a call today that they have received my request for information !!!
I am really exasperated now with this dismal performance of all ISPs w.r.t. Sec-46 !! I mean 'cmon guys, is this the Digital India we are thinking about with huge houses and no ISPs around :-(

Any idea about railwaire. There's a local cable guy in nearby sector who is inclined to cover sec 46 in a few days. On my research about railwire reviews, I get a mixed impression. Also talked to Touchnet India (:: Touchnet India ::) and they provide FTTH in sector 46. DO we have any users of Touchnet over here sharing their reviews? Their plans are pretty affordable.

@MrinalBanerji
Did you any connection finally? I am also in Sector 46 and somehow managing with Tikona.

Hi, I am managing with Touchnet wired broadband somehow. Airtel is still not up in Sec-46. Touchnet has been delivering well all these times. But I need a wi-fi provider.
Hows Tikona in sec 46? Is it worthwhile to try that?

you cannot install a wireless router in your house?

Guess What Guys ? It is very easy to interpret -

1 - Just cross the road, sector 45 has airtel since last 10 years
2 - Greenwood city in sector 46 has airtel since last 8 years.
3 - And of course all surrounding sector across the road have the airtel broadband since more than 5 years now.

You still didnt get it ?

Sector 46 RWA has been creating ruckus. I got to know about this recently, while the airtel boxes are being installed. The RWA has been asking for money (bribe) from Airtel. While airtel lodged a civil case against them, they were allowed to install boxes. But now RWA folks are again troubling Airtel for money. The airtel boxes have been installed since 6 months now, but RWA is not allowing them to activate them - threatening and damaging their boxes frequently.

Raise this with your RWA in sector 46, and tell them to stop earning them from basic services. Its your right.

RWAs are the worst. The one in Sector 30 actually was involved in a shooting incident on a guy who had been pursuing a case of encroachment against them. The one in my sector (31) is quite the same.
