ZDNet has a story on VSNL's buy-out of Chennai based Dishnet DSL. Besides, DSL broadband, Dishnet also provides standard dial-up connections. More information on the company can be found here

Dishnet gives VSNL access to customers in 38 cities and 200 towns as also over 600 Dishnet owned and franchised cybercafes. VSNL will also now cover dial-up services in 20 additional locations over it existing 30 locations.

Having experienced their shoddy service personally, I'm not surprised to learn that this was a "slump" sale. However, I do hope that "acquisition of all employees of Dishnet's ISP division" was a typo :S
