Hi All,
I am new here and I am posting here for the first time. The reason I'm here is because I need some advice on internet providers in the Kandivali (W), Mumbai region. Our current provider is In2Net Cable and I cannot say the internet is reliable. We currently have dynamic IP service 2mbps package for 6 months and are looking for alternatives.
Our biggest gripe with In2Net service is that their dynamic IP through PPPoE changes so frequently (6 hours or less IP Renewal window), makes is very unreliable for long (slow) downloads. Also, we call USA through VOIP and we frequently have issues with VOIP calls dropping because of IP renewal resulting in a different IP.
I use a router because there are multiple devices accessing the internet through WiFi (laptop and android mobile phones) and desktop pc, plus a VOIP phone adapter for USA calling (Linksys PAP2T-NA).
We want to retain wired connectivity because we need to have the router configured for the VOIP Service (which we use to call USA to speak to our relatives).
What are our options? Speed isn't a factor. 2mbps speed is good enough. I need the service to retain the IP for a longer duration even if its dynamic. This connection will be mostly unmonitored as I am also mostly in the USA. As such, my in-laws are doing the calling and I have left this setup for them to frequently call my wife in the (And I would like it to be as simple and painless as possible).
Thanks,
