Back to sify broadband
After a lot of running around and no luck I had to renew my sify broadband connection for another month this time despite the fact that it remains down most of the time and especially when I am doing something important.
The worst thing about Sify broadband is that it gets disconnected when there is a power cut as the local cable operator doesn’t have any power backup at his end so doesn’t matter if you have it or not just take it for granted that when there is a power cut there will be no internet.
