Second question that jumps into my mind is that WHY PURCHASE CABLE MODEMS?? These cablewallahs are giving u access thr. LAN cards worht 900-700 rs. why go for
The BSES Telecom (Powersurfer) connection is also direct to LAN card using Cat5 cable. Installation costs are Rs. 5000 and you have to pay Rs. 990 monthly. I had applied for their connection 4 months but am yet to get it. This is due to the fact that there are only 3 subscribers at the moment in our colony. A connection requires a certain number of subscribers within a 100 metre radius (The limit of the Cat5 cable, IIRC). I expect the connection to be better than others, especially better than services offered via the cablewallahs since bandwidth is not shared.
15000/- cable modem. Will the cable modem boost the speed. Can anybody throw light on this as I am very weak at fundamentals of networking.
