Posting my expirience with asianet DOCSIS3 broadband connection. First I applied over internet by sending an email as suggested by their advertisement. There was no response. So I called them over phone.The next day a guy came to inspect my residence. I stay in the Palarivattom area of Kochi where they have this facility.
The next day itself the cable was laid. Though I had asianet digital TV cable they said they will draw a separate cable for internet otherwise speed may be affected.
The modem was installed 3 days later . I opted for the combo plan Xtream 810 with monthly payment of Rs 810 + taxes which gives 12 Mbps speed and 12GB usage + 4GB usage extra as I am already aasianet Cable TV customer.( Combo-Plan).
To get the comboplan activated ( and get the extra usage) you should have both internet and TV connection in the same premises under the same name.
First I sent the reqiured email to asianet for activating combo plan. I got a reply saying I have dues in my cable TV account and hence this could not be activated. I had already paid 1 year advance for cable TV. It took a personal visit to the cable TV office of asianet to correct the descrepancy . The guys at the cable TV office were very helpful and corrected the mistake in the accounts ( I went with reciepts). then I called up asianet broadband and they said that the combo plan is already activated.
The whole process took 1 week .
I am migrating from BSNL broadband . The difference is that you should always have one computer logged in to the asianet broadband login page to remain connected . I am using an old laptop to remain continously logged in.
I am getting a speed of 7-10 Mbps . there is no modem issues or connection drops till now. I am using the connection for the last 3 days.
Maybe I will go in for a static IP later on to override the login issue.
