Well, I have been using a hathway connx in green park for almost 4 months now. I would rate their service as pretty decent. I have a 128k connx, and i get speeds around 10-12k normally.. I havent really seen speeds of above 14k except once.
As with every service, you have problems like server side problems with these guys also, but their customer support is very cooperative and responds quickly. Umm.. well ok sometimes things do take time.. but they sort them out ASAP. So i wud personally recommend hathway to anyone who has this connx in their locality. But keep in mind that with a 64k connx they have a d/l limit of 500megs and a limit of 1G on 128k connx. Thats the only thing REALLY bad bout hathway. -Anks > On 8 Apr 2002 at 11:24, Dr . Sharukh K .
