It was started by Chinnakannan Sivasankaran as part of Sterling Group.{{When|date=October 2021}} Initially DSL was a part of much bigger plan which is "Education To Home" or ETH. [[Vijay bhatkar|Dr. Vijay P. Bhatkar]] is the chairman for ETH and under his leadership Dishnet DSL started operations in [[Pune]]. It was the first ISP to offer DSL services in India. However, due to the model it adapted (overhead cables similar to broadcasting cable) it couldn't gain a larger customer base. This model was adapted as [[BSNL]] rejected Dishnet request to use Telecom exchanges to house DSLAM.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}<br />

During 2000–2003, Dishnet aggressively connected five star hotels with DSL in every room which was considered a luxury. It worked with prestigious hotels like Lela Kempinski in Mumbai and Goa, Sun & Sand, Ritz Carlton in [[Mumbai]], Le Meridien in [[Pune]] & some others in [[Chennai]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Bangalore]], Cochin.{{citation needed|date=January 2017}}<br />
