Moving from DSL to Cable Broadband

Did I make a mistake..??

I asked this question several times myself. Still asking every now and then..

I recently ditched Airtel and took a Hathway broadband connection.

I knew that Hathway service is not good in Bangalore from many of my friends.

But they are damn cheap!! I couldnt not resist the temptation..

To give you some background about the story.. I took an Airtel broadband connection

in September.. 256 kbps.- Unlimited. They gave me a brand new DSL modem and a very nice telephone.

My monthly bill will be Rs. 881.

Service was excellent... Down time is near zero.. Very good on call support.. But monthly bill was not that great. I was unhappy about the bill..As my usage is personal and I do really unimportant things at home.

One fine day I saw an Adv. in all electric posts near by my house. "Hathway Broadband for 275/- 1 Mbps.."

I knew that its not very true...But I knew that I can get a plan cheaper than. Airtel.

So I called up the phone number given in the Adv. I cancelled the Airtel connection. and With in a week I have Hathway connection....They installed a Motorola modem.. and a cable thick enough to play tag of war.

My first trial....was disappointing... speed is not even near 200 kbps... its between 150-180kbps...

Ok let it be.. I will be paying only 530 per month instead of 881.

One fine day... I switched on the Motorola modem... One of the LED's just blinking..

I called up customer care.. terrible.. they say that you area link is down...I waited for 3 to 4 hours before it was up....and this happens quite often.... atleast twice a week...
