Hi Gopichand, on a different forum(indiamatic) you posted stating that the cost of the Hathway HD box is 4500. This includes HD STB, free HD Channels for 1 year and monthly charges apply for the SD Channels. Could you please confirm your source for this info and provide a contact number to obtain the STB at this price.

thanks

I had an interesting experience with ACT today.

When i had applied for the connection, in October'12, the executive who visited my apartment in Cox Town, suggested that i keep the wifi router(cisco linksys e900) in the middle of the apartment in order to ensure even coverage thru out. Me being the sometimes-i-think-i-know-it-all, decided that i need to keep in a particular room only and not as per the executive's suggestion. It so happened that after the connection was done, a few days later i realized that the executive was correct and the whole apartment was not getting covered.

So i raised a request with ACT cc on Saturday, 24th November, to relocate the copper wire so that wifi router can be placed in a more central location in the apartment. They did take a few days to respond, but 3 days later on Tuesday i got a call from one of the engineers - Sandeep. I was busy on that day and the next day, so I asked him to come to my apartment on Thursday. I started moving the wifi router in different places in my apartment to check for best signal and during that i hear the bell ring and Sandeep's at the door. I hadn't decided yet where to place the router and he patiently waited(atleast 15 mins) until i finally did. After i decided, he removed the wire from the existing location and then he himself went to the watchman to get the keys for the terrace(even though i offered) and moved the wire to the location i wanted. While he was setting it up in a particular location which i had decided first, i kinda changed my mind and told him that i need to move it to another location and without any hesitation, he obliged and set up the whole thing neatly. Once done, he asked me to test the connection, and only after i was satisfied, he decided to leave.

The whole setup process must have taken an hour and during that time Sandeep was extremely patient and polite and when he was leaving i offered to pay him for the work he had done and he refused take even a single paise from me and kept saying that its a free service and that he won't accept any money. I insisted quite a few times, and he still refused to take any money.

I was really impressed with the professionalism in him. Infact, all the ACT staff i have met face to face have been very professional. The sales executive who came to my apartment to check feasibility and to collect the application form behaved well. Even the engineers who had come to setup the connection the first time behaved very well(they came on a Sunday and I was acting like a jerk because i kept changing the appointment time with them.)

My experience with ACT has been really great till now and i wish them the best and hope they render similar service to all their customers. Special kudos to Sandeep.

Cheers

IMO, thats not a good practice to follow

Its constant and absolutely FUP free.

Omg.. Then whats the use of recording? :confused:
Sorry i should have made it clear in my first post.. Anyway I am talking about security camera recorder likewise placed in banks and home security system.

I got a BSNL connection specifically for this plan in pondicherry.(I have disconnected my Airtel 2Mbps 175 GB plan).I'am moving from ULD 900 which I got as a trial connection to ULD 2150.I would be using it for downloads only(mostly HD content).the latency doesnt bother me.Would you recommend it for this usecase?.
PS.8Mbps?Which plan are you using?Is it unlimited?.

Life OK HD to replace Active Music HD in couple of days ;)

Once again this channel is getting removed from d2h platform. Removal might have happened by now as per schedule given by cc.

Ignore this thread now. Let's hit the theater to watch remaining story. And I am sure Kareena is not a ghost in the movie.
