Internet

I finally got rid of my Hathway connection and got hold of Dataone. In chennai Hathway service was ridiculously bad. Usually the connection downtime is more than the uptime.Even though it worked slightly cheaper as the initial investment is comparatively
less, the speed was not up to mark nor were their service. To get the dataone connection I had to pay initially 2k (1k - phone, 1k - modem) and a monthly rental of 500 bucks. I think it is worth it as the connection is over a telephone line it usually never goes down. Moreover in papers they promise a speed of 256kbps-2Mbps. I ran a speed test and found it to be 1Mbps which is pretty neat.
