Contrary in BroadBand availability.
I shifted my house from Ram Nagar of Madipakkam to Periyar Nagar in madipakkam, which is next to Velachery in Chennai. I am striving hard, fighting with Airtel and BSNL on a day to day basis for getting a telephone line and a broad band connection. But the vendors say that the availability of connections in that area is low and some or the other and pushing me away from giving the connection.
Today to my surprise my brother called me up and asked me “Do you have a web Cam ?”. Why all of us sudden this question. He told me that BSNL is giving broadband to my Native place and he is getting connection to our already existing land line. For those who don’t know about my native is a little remote village near Thirunelveli.
I am not able to get a connection being part of the metro in India while the same is available in my native. I think the service providers are concentrating more on the rural India than the urban.
Quite confused

Does Madipakkam falls under Metro area? I guess it is not! Only till velachery it is under Chennai Metro. Madipakkam is village.. down the line two to three years you will get it! Btw, you can try with Tata if they can provide WiMax?

Hey,
Wimax seems to be much costlier and does have a cap of 10 GB.
Madipakkam is a far better village than my native ???

lol
sounds funny from BSNL side but yep that’s true. Here in my city Rohtak few places are still not covered by DSL access while it is there in many villages of Haryana.
The main problem is with broadband technology widely used in India - DSL which has BIG problem of distance limitation from central office (i.e basically from DSLAM in exchange), as far as you move, it is difficult to carry high frequency used in dsl and so hard to maintain speed. Means you will get 8Mbps next door to exchange while 256kbps 5KM away.
Check if you still have any other technology available there in your city.
Cheers!
