ISP major
Hathway Cable Internet has introduced new broadband packages, providing
a superior broadband experience and flexibility to access various download
limits. Hathway claims to offer the only broadband network which provides
speeds from 256 Kbps to several Mbps with no limitation on distances between
subscriber premises and its network operating centre and provides digital
video services, on account of its cable network, unlike those who use the
ADSL+2 technology. The
new packages start at 50 paise per MB for a minimum of 1 GB downloads on
monthly basis at Rs500, for 256 Kbps speed. Prepaid packages start at 43
paise per MB. Hathway Cable and Datacom MD and CEO K Jayaraman said: "Our
mission is to offer subscribers packages at affordable prices." As
a promotional offer Hathway earlier did not charge any rental on its cable
modem free, to be taken back when the subscriber surrendered the connection.
It has now started charging rentals on the modem for new subscribers.
Part of the Rajan Raheja
group, Hathway is a leading cable TV provider and has a strategic alliance
with global broadcaster STAR. It is one of the largest broadband cable internet
service providers in the country, offering cable TV and broadband in eight
cities —Mumbai,
Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Nashik and Ludhiana.
It offers only cable TV in Jalandhar and Vijaywada as well, and will be
soon rolling out on a pan India level. Branded
