Well, the main problem is there are few subscribers in my area... just 4 in my colony. So the guy does not put a power backup/ power pack for the switch which is requird for stable operation. Also, he says he is changing me over entirely to fibre optic. In fact, a little more than a month ago, he brought the fibre optic all the way up to my terrace, but until now, the guy from Sify has not come to splice it. So, it is lying useless, and I am stuck on regular Cat5. If he changes it, then all my problems will disappear, and I will probably get better speeds too.
