Ufff.... one *more* ilugd guy from Patparganj. At this rate very soon
we can have Patparganj LUG meets. ;)

I am from Patparganj too(Kanungo). Even though I have a different service
provider - Select Internet in Madhu vihar.

To be precise, their whole network consisting of 100+ clients are all
connected on  @#$$ hubs. So even if I am not using the net, i get
256kbps+ of peak traffic hitting my NIC card, sometimes causing my network
card to complain saying "too much traffic".

Too many levels of hubs (i have 3+ hubs between my machine and the
edge router) causes terrible losses at peak times. Also, if two guys
decide to transfer a file from their respective SMB shares, well, half
of Patparganj have to wait before they have finished.

Primenet/Primus are not cable Internet providers. They provide the
uplink to the cable setups.
