History of Hathway Cable
Hathway was one of India’s first Multi-System Operators (MSOs) — companies that aggregate cable TV signals and distribute them via a network of Local Cable Operators (LCOs). It built one of India’s most extensive HFC cable networks across Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and Bengaluru. When Jio’s broadband disrupted cable TV revenues, Hathway pivoted aggressively to broadband — using its existing cable infrastructure to deliver high-speed internet. Hathway Broadband now competes against Jio Fiber and Airtel Xstream in the wired broadband segment.

I paid renewal payment of 297.36 for VC # 000077553097 on 15-5-25 at about 9 pm. For my Hathaway account. But as in 21 night my cable has not started. Yr manager in charge Mr. Bhushan Mahtre knows the details of my payment’s, but he has not done anything to get it started. Mr. Duggalus is also not responding. I don’t know whom to complaint. Pl help me.
I hv never suffered so much of abuse. Mr. Rocky was better manager than the present one.
If I hv contacted the right person than respond and otherwise Pl send my message to the concerned person. Tarun Sheth- cell # 9322212909.
