I have very good experience with exatt at two places, deccan and nigdi. They 
pair up with local cable operators which is good for troubleshooting local 
problems unlike tata where you have to reach golibar maidan everytime..

Ask your local cable operator if he provides exatt. That is very simple pppoe 
stuff and works like charm in linux.
