Technologically Broken Place

In the age of advancing technology, the capital lags behind disgracefully. If there is one thing I hate about the capital is the fact it is so technologically rotten. My personal experience has been utterly horrid. To get a decent broadband connection, it has taken me 2 years and I am stuck typing this article on a a dial up !
Here a few things I noticed about the various connections.

MTNL Triband

  • Overly expensive
  • Not worth the money
  • Pathetic customer support and don’t expect it to work in areas with bad telephone lines
  • Local Cable Connection

  • Erratic (I once got 200 KBps on a 64 Kbps line)
  • Cant get overly frustrating (expect a few things on your house to break)
  • Again no customer support
  • Dial-Up

  • Consistent
  • No Disconnections !
  • Slow
  • Well well well, So I guess you know which connection to choose ! ;)
    The problem with most of the local broadband connections like Sify, Airtel and others is the lack of coverage area. MTNL which is a government run organization is taking over small and new pvt. sector companies in the hope to build a good infrastructure. I still await for the results. Oh and the irony, the I&B minister says ” 2007 is the year of broadband and internet ! ” :D
