Hi,

   Has anybody use the Reliance WiMax (Broadnet) services? I am

more interested in their services in Mumbai. Good, Bad, Ugly? Apparently they install separate antenna for each connection. The size of this is as big as a laptop monitor or such, thats what the marketing exec told me.

    What I want to know is - 1) compatibility with Linux Boxes

2. does it work during the rainy season? Considering that rains in

Mumbai or Panvel is slightly on the extreme side ;), does it work fine during the rainy season? I guess the same applies to the DTH setup even.

    Only reason, I am thinking its worth a try is because I won't

have to depend on availabilty of power and such because I will be responsible to provide power to the setup which I can in case of load shedding as well. Thanks in advance.

Any more experiences? I want to try it.
