If you have recently moved to PCMC, Pune and residing in areas like Chikhali, Moshi and looking for good internet broadband services, i would suggest you to NOT to take up VNET Broadband services for the following reasons:
1. Over priced monthly broadband subscription plans.
if you are planning to buy a 1 Mbps per month Unlimited plan, you may end up paying Rs. 2300 /- (excluding taxes) and for 2 Mbps, you need to pay around Rs. 3300 /- (excluding taxes). Even Tikona doesn't charge this much for 2 mbps monthly plans.
Unfortunately, you may not find Tikona, BSNL, Airtel services in most of the PCMC areas, so you have to rely on local broadband service providers.
So, i would suggest you to not to go with VNET Corporation's Broadband Services.
2. Poor Network
They have very poor network as the speed they commit is 2 Mbps but in reality, you only get 128 kbps. Even if you complain about the speed or network downtime, Mr. Rohit from Vnet do not respond very well and slams the phone down without evening listening to your complaint. No professionalism in handling customer complaints.
3. High Downtime
Frequency of downtime is very high as the network is unavailable for 6-8 hours throughout the day. Everytime you call and ask the reason for downtime, they always have only 1 answer : Somebody has cut the fibre optic cable.
4. Delay in payment
If you delay in making the payment just by 1 day, Mr. Rohit makes sure there is no network available from the very first day of billing cycle.
So i would request you to refrain from VNET Broadband Services.
VNET Rating: 1/5
Alternatives:
Get intouch with Hathway for cabled broadband services if you are residing in Chikhali, Moshi areas in PCMC pune. Else buy 3g dongles from various internet service providers like Tata, Reliance etc. i've checked the speed of Tata 3G dongle and i am not very confident with it as it do not pick the network most of the time.
Hathway has plethora of plans that suits your needs and are inexpensive.
