I am by and large happy with Tata Indicom for handful of years now. Was having dial-up and switched to metro-ethernet broadband as soon as they introduced it. Metro-ethernet is tidy in the sense that they don't need any instrument (router etc.) installed in your house. Setup on Linux used to be a mystery those days with TI requiring populating value of a parameter ACNAME (Access Concentrator name). (Yours truly was one of the few early people who "discovered" this.) Once you know this it's very simple. Customer service, if you ever need, is pathetic though. They virtually shut their ears and minds the moment you say L of Linux. Also, if you ever call for a dead connection, they make you go through a long routine of "Now click on Control Panel and check this, that etc." and won't just listen anything if you don't follow that. I developed the habit of saying "yes" to every step they say dutifully and finally tell them it doesn't work. Only after going through all this customary routine they would send a technician who will do his things only on Windows and would typically realize the problem is elsewhere on the line and rectify. Good thing is you don't come across such issues too often, fortunately.
