Guest House/Bed&breakfast in DELHI INDIA!
Where can I find information on a guest house/paying guest/B&B/sublet
for 2-4 weeks in New Delhi/Delhi (location is very flexible, provided that it's close to Delhi), with a A FAST AND RELIABLE INTERNET CONNECTION IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR ME. I've tried to find this information on the NET, but without much success. Also, safety is an issue since I have my laptop computer with me. My needs are less, but I prefer to have the following: 1. Access via public transportation to the heart of the city of New Delhi and Delhi. Therefore, I'm quite flexibile in terms of location. 2. Since I cook, I'd like some basic kitchen equipment (optional). 3. Access to people who have extensive knowledge on the city (i.e. where to shop, how to get to certain places, etc.). 4. What is your opinion of your internet connection speeds? I have no problem paying a premium for you to upgrade your internet connection! 5. How fast is your internect connection (in megabits/second)? 6. Rates? |

I've tried to find this information on the NET, but without much success. Delhi will not provide a fast reliable home Internet service because it suffers from 'load shedding' and the power is off about 4 hours in 24 at reasonably random, but usually known to the locals, times throughout the day everywhere that doesn't have its own generator. Home ADSL is growing in India but currently new accounts are taking about seven months to be actioned. I get about 256K on my ADSL, but that's in Bombay where things are a bit more advanced and the power doesn't go off at random intervals, well, not more than once a month... -- William Black I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

Thanks for your speedy reply, WIlliam!
I called up some hotels and guest houses in Delhi/New Delhi area, and they would have a 512kbps internet connection. Also, I will be using this during off-peak hours - let's say from 6:00 PM - 3:00 AM IST. From your perspective, is a 256kbps connection fast enough for me to be able to use my Vonage VOIP? If 256kbps is good, than 512kbps is, for sure, really good. I have a 5Mbps connection, and it's perfectly good. Thanks for your time.
