Iqara Broadband in Ahmedabad

Surfing for Amdavadis would never be the same again. Many service providers who really had no backbone of bandwidth started cable Internet and cheated the unaware Internet users in the city in the name of broadband. Now it is real. British Gas promoted Iqara Broadband, after its successful entry in Surat and Baroda has now entered Ahmedabad, a milestone not for the company but for net surfers in the city. These surfers are luckier than their counterparts in Delhi or Mumbai because the video streaming and Internet telephony would be a reality now.

"It is our dream to give every net user their imagination. The imagination of reality," said Colin Orr Burns, Vice President, Iqara Telecom worldwide. And to provide that the company has formidable Hybrid Optical Fiber and Coaxial (HFC) network and tie ups with the carriers of fiber optics and experience in two cities to handle last mile connectivity. But the group has to overcome the poor understanding of megabytes and bandwidth to an average user of dial ups. "It is very difficult to make people understand this but we have this experience and people only change when they experience it. I believe they will have the opportunity anywhere to check whether what we claimed were real or not," said EVS Chakravarthy, CEO of Iqara Broadband in India.
