Do I still need a P & T telephone for any reason?

After you are connected to vedanti NET, your existing P&T telephone will be only required if you want to have additional Internet connection and of course for your regular telephonic conversation. vedanti NET gives you 24 hrs. redundant leased Internet connection along with a host of other network services giving you continuous uninterrupted bandwidth at the opted scale throughout your membership period and that too with Fiber Optic connectivity where signal loss is practically nil.

I have heard about cable Internet, is this the same or different?

Cable necessarily means wired , that is in any case wired. Now there are various technologies in the world today, out of which three to four technologies have been widely accepted. Depending on infrastructure availability, environmental issues and disturbances parameters, some of the technologies have restrictions as far as successes are concerned. For instance, a typically known cable Internet technology will involve third party Cable TV operators and their network, which in India are highly disorganised, irregular and are laid without any structured method of networking making it unreliable for your investment as has already been proved elsewhere in the country. There is a separate technology called DSL which involves telephone cable and can give comfortable 5 mbps bandwidth subject to the structural method followed by the telephone company. vedanti NET, however, gets into the latest technology where Long Range principles of Ethernet get employed in her own distinct private network independent of any Cable TV operated network or telephone company. This technology has proved to give up to 15 mbps even on the ordinary twin copper wire.

What is the guarantee to the bandwidth and service?

Because of Fiber Optic backbone, the bandwidth opted for is almost guaranteed with no fall over. If at all there is any variation, this is because of some other users in the vicinity trafficking files of voluminous sizes and will therefore affect only your locality and not in the wholesome. The services offered are distributed from various distribution points in the city where equipments installed require uninterrupted power supply. Due to erratic power conditions of the city, vedanti NET supports all equipments on the network with own uninterrupted power supplies up to 90 minutes of failure, beyond which the network trips and your connection gets disturbed. This is beyond the scope of service, anyone can provide.

Do I need separate video conferencing or telephone equipments?

No, you do not essentially require separate video conferencing unit or digital phone for IP telephony. However, if you think that your computer should detach from conferencing because it is not sustainable as video conferencing console requires highly configured system or because your system is always busy doing other things or because the separate unit is better meant for conferencing, you may very well go for a separate video conferencing stand alone equipment. Similarly for IP telephony as well which is a dedicated digital phone exclusively for the purpose.
