Biggest issue is availability !

Speed is always constant. Pings used to be awesome, dunno now, last I heard, pings on adsl were bad. Check if the connection is adsl or metro ethernet. If its metro ethernet, there have reports of it being down in a significant part of mumbai for the past 20 days or so.After sales service can be suspect with rcom. Ask around in your neighbourhood ! If youre willing to.take a gamble wrt cc and billing, go.ahead !

thanks for the reply.... the connection type as said by the agent is dsl or if i am not wrong metro ethernetthis is weird... if their system is not working then how are they taking new connections....

This is rcom. If its adsl, go ahead ! But ask people you know in your locality about how rcom is for them.But, be certain its DSL and not metro ethernet.

Simply ask the agent..is the connection with modem or without it?...simple.

Then its a Metro Ethernet. You get more download/upload speed with this one.
