That's truly a relief to hear but all of us here living in JP NAGAR 8th Phase aren't in the covered area:envy:
Seems like RCOM's thunder plan has some good tariff and might cover 8th Phase but the reviews make you think twice. Guys anyone using this in & around JP NAGAR 7th or 8th Phase?
Even though in the webpage ACT says they don't cover JP NAGAR at all, I spoke to them and they said that they will send some to check tomorrow near my home - Nayak Layout. I truly pray that it is available :angel:.
and i am in gurgaon. google's office is walking distance from my house. and i do not expect fiber to ever land in my area because none of the players have any interest in targeting older sectors where you have to cover each house independently by laying down fresh wires and there is no guarantee that you would gain a significant number of subscribers to make the effort successful. get over it. a lot of us are in the same situation.
there are folks on the forum whose only mode of internet connectivity is through EDGE network on their phones.

Well a man can wish. Besides, just because some one is using EDGE doesn't mean I shouldn't try and get a good decent connection for my needs. So why get over it?
And I need it for VPN and rendering my work on farms located in Chennai & Pune.
And chromaniac - if you have ever been to Bangalore, there is very less "old sectors" here - everything in this city is new, cause for both the excitement & chaos.
Reliance guys didn't respond to me after I registered my interest. :speechless:
Anyway, sticking to the thread topic; for those of you in JP NAGAR 8th Phase curious on what step I took - well I went with TIKONA :wondering:. So far their service has satisfied me and the demo speed was good, not exceptional but good. At least for me I can get my work done.
After a month or so I shall put up a stats on how my experience was with TIKONA.
Till then - good luck guys. DO post if Airtel or ACT shows up in 8th Phase (any time soon is unlikely).
Regards

how is customer care service
I would like to know the service of tikona and other broadband details.I heard that they have a lot of issue legal notices even after discontinuation of services and use lawyers to contact.I have already lost my money with Mr.Mani from G broadband who had promised connection last year and is till yet to provide connection.I suggest we team up as a group and send a request to airtel,you broadband, act etc.
@appleofdin please post your reviews and your download speeds etc.
So as promised here I am after using Tikona more than a month with my honest review about this ISP.
Before you continue reading please understand that this is my personal experience, I am not speaking from a general stand-point and you should consider researching yourself before taking any ISP.
By the end of the day reviews of anything are personal experience and it varies person-to-person. So with that said lets dive right into Tikona ISP review for JP Nagar 8th Phase - Nayak Layout - Banaglore. I will break it down into chunks.
When I say 'very good' I am talking from a 4.0/mbps speed stand point. When shifting to 8th Phase JP NGR my biggest concern was speed. I work on VPN and I need 2.0/mbps the least to get my work done and I am 24/7 connected to the web. Like every other Indian, I was really concerned about taking any ISP connection apart from Airtel. However when these guys say 4.0/mbps they mean it. I get uninterrupted browsing speed of 3.2/mbps - 3.6/mbps. And my file transfers through VPN to Chennai & Mumbai are good (not that fast but I can live with it). When I say file transfer I am not talking about MS Word or PDF. I work in the VFX industry and I am transferring gigabytes of data for feature film work. An example would be (vaguely) - 8-9GIG of data output from Chennai studio's data-base comes to my workstation within 5hrs-6hrs and for me that's more than enough.
Skype calls & GoToMeeting works flawless even on international calls. Youtube and vimeo are fast, no buffering even on HD.
Sites I open like Artstation or Behance are really fast even though they are heavy.
On torrent downloads, depending on where you are downloading from - the speed varies and I get around 800-900/kbps in torrent. Sometimes if the seeds are more I get around 1.2/mbps - so this is okay. However before coming to 8th Phase I used use 8.0/mbps Airtel and the torrent download speed was around 1.4/mbps. I don't know if I am right, but I think downloads in India is capped with certain ratio.
My JDownloader 2.0 gives me 1.2/mbps speed almost constantly. Its faster than torrents (at least for me).
On the third day - afternoon I was pushed down to a pathetic fall to 512/kbps.
When you log into your account you can see all your usage data and your FUP limits. Everyday you must log-in to your Tikona server once (irritating for two days then you get used to it).
I am posting few links to videos I have recorded for people and screenshots.
So hopefully my review will help someone, I am not sure how Tikona is on a long run. I have been using it for around 40 days and I am satisfied. If there are any problems I promise to write about it here.
I recommend anyone living in 8th Phase to go with Tikona. So over all on a scale of 10.0 I give Tikona 7.5
And that is because of the stupid upload speed.

Downloading & Browsing
When I say 'very good' I am talking from a 4.0/mbps speed stand point. When shifting to 8th Phase JP NGR my biggest concern was speed.

Uploading
We are cursed forever with a capped uploading. Well its frankly okay, this is true even for Airtel. Uploading in Indian ISP is a pain and Tikona is no different. Since I use VPN its not a big deal but if I need to upload something it takes a while. That's the short and direct review about uploading. I am not sure how ACT or other ISP providers are. I have used Airtel, currently subscribed to BSNL and TIKONA and all these ISP have around 512/kbps upload speed or something.
- Miscellaneous:- Good
