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.
Cheers!

what is the justification for X-post?
i am using this service since 6 months. unlimited 300kbps for approx 1k p/m . have got 340k thruput at times. the point of entry device provides lan interface. you need to do browser authentication. so any os works. i use it with wireless router and a bunch of other devices. about power the point of entry device requires power supply but that is at end point not near the disc. dunno about rain etc yet.
