    Finally a Broadband service by a cable Service provider in Mangalore. I was waiting for this from a very long time. I am fed up of BSNL's frequently disconnecting 3rd grade internet, want to switch the ISP if this proves out to be better.

    Whether the Asianet cable service goes off as soon as the Mescom current goes off?
    Because the present local cable service provider of Mangalore cuts off his relay as soon as the MESCOM current goes of. Every Tuesday we do not have MESCOM current from 9 am to 5 pm and hence even cable service is also not available during this period even though we have Invertor at home.

    No, this is a satellite based service I think, more like tata sky or dish TV. So you can have uninterrupted cable (unless its raining) regardless of the power supply. I used Reliance digital TV, during rain it disrupts yes, but picture quality and variety of channels we get is really good.
