The sales guy simply smiled and handed me the brochure. Here’s how it looked: HEAVEN? At that time I was paying !
That’s ~1. 2x better deal. You get my point!
The weird stuff is that you have to pay for 3 months in advance to save the Installation charges (. I was pissed at this deadlock as I didn’t want to pay . But good part is that, Den boomband will provide your their own Modem + Wireless router which is a plus! Anyways, the payment was made via cheque and the sales guy promised that connection will be up and running in 2 days! Well, impressed already?!
Let’s see. 2 days later. No one came. From here, the whole experience went downside to hell and what followed was, can only be explained by “A Roller coaster(ish) experience”. I have documented it in my Open Letter to DEN Boomband post.
This ordeal lasted for a week after *literally* 1. Den boomband suffers from classic gap of communication between Sales people and Tech team as there is a huge difference in number of connections sold v/s number of connections actually installed! Go on, give it a read and come back for continuation. I didn’t notice any major downtimes expect a hiccup or two which was easily solved by rebooting the router. I got continuous 2.
Mbps Down and ~2 Mbps Upload speed with ping < 1. After 3. 0 GB of usage, the speed was capped to 1 Mbps which is pretty decent if you have a bit of patience. Pro- tip: If you go for 5. Mbps unlimited after bandwidth cap finishes! K videos load in < 2 seconds and 1. P doesn’t even take 1 second to stream. Throw any heavily bloated website (looking at you Verge), and it will just instantly render.
Trust me when I say this – High speed internet is a bliss! Bad part of Den boomband is that you are locked for first 3 months to the plan you chose while booking. Oh yes, this is a flaw with Den Boomband process/management/idk, you can’t change your subscribed plan until your seed amount/tenure finishes (for me, 3 months). It feels restrictive as it’s basic human nature to go for the cheapest option when trying a new thing. I guess changing plans should be as easy as adding a- la- carte package in Dish.
TV anytime. I am really looking forward to increase the bandwidth cap from 3. GB to 5. 0 GB at the end of 3 months tenure. Verdict time! YES! Go for it if it is available in your area (which may not be the case as they are in middle of expansion). I live in North- West Delhi and here also Den Boomband is not fully available. You can check the availability or dial 1. It is the best bang of buck for any broadband ISP in Delhi AFAIK.
Just make sure you have a talk with customer care before throwing your money to the sales guy honey coated words, as there may be a possibility that basic setup is not even installed in your locality while salesmen are selling connections like no tommorow. Trust me it sucks when you pay for a SIM card and company hasn’t setup Signal towers yet. How To Install A Closet Rod In An Armoire Ikea more. So wrapping up this review.
I will make sure to update the post if we do see new advancements in same. Do you have a superfast ISP? Works like a dream?
Tell us about it. It may helps others make the decision. Also share your experience with Den Boomband!
