Hi Sandip With Dishnet its 'downtime' more often , on the weekdays during regular hours not considering the weekends.Customer service stops taking the calls during the 'downtime' and no one takes the resposibility. Even if the connection is working fine, it is quiet possible that you may not be able to upload or upload might stop halfway.After 10 am thru put decreses drastically till late.Out of 30/31 days in a month the connection is down for 15 days.
