Comments: This is definetely the best connection available in my area/city. Being the only one using the broadband in my area also helps. Download limits need to be made unlimited. There has been no downtime since I have got the connection. Although the past 2-3 days, the connection has been slightly variable. But I'd give it a benefit of doubt and wholeheartedly recommend it to anybody !
