Is cost of internet resonable in India?

[ithehappy]

[MENTION=52329]tkin[/MENTION] : As you are using Meghbala, how is the stability of the connection? Still deviates in rainy season (thunderstorms, lightning etc)? Say if I need the connection anytime in a month, is there any reliability of that?

And I never understood this local peering thing. Say I am downloading a movie (English mostly) will that come under that cache thingy and I will get fast speed?

Its good, atleast in my location, the connection mainly depends on your cable operator.

If the movie you are downloading is popular you'll get btcache server. If its being downloaded by someone within the same ISP you'll get local peering, i.e direct transfer at 10MBps or similar.

I've never understood why this is such a big problem for the government or the IT sector to solve.
The minimum bandwidth was increased to 256kbps recently I believe but it makes no difference.
Compare the government owned ISP's and any random private ISP , the difference in cost and bandwidth is huge.
I hope we have a major revolution to change this here in India, whose majority of people are online at some given point of time.

To be precise, Internet in india is . . . .

Cost and Speed of broadband is not all reasonable in India. I have 1 Mbps UL plan and I'll download abt 200 GB per month costs ₹1445/month, I need an UL internet of atleast 100 Mbps upload and 25 Mbps upload to suit my needs. I can pay about ₹5000 per month but non of the ISPs providing this plan

How much is your data requirement?

If its upload then when will u download
and 5k is very costly i.e 5x12 = 60k per annum

First You need at least 30tb of HDD stacked in your tower.

Look for the SME/Business Plans

I don't think any company will be willing to give you that for Rs. 5000. check Business Plans

BTW a true 8 Mbps UL connection will get you 2.2 TB of data per month. so check corporate connection. Refer Original Post to know how I got this info.

Serously 2.2TB of data per month is overkill..what will person do with so much of data

Actually I am just answering his query on how he can get the required bandwidth. What the user does with this information or his data is none of my concern

Thankfully the concept of peering is enabling many users to download massive amounts of Data. The users of our ( and some other ) ISPs like Wishnet, Alliance broadband lets us download at speeds upto 100mbps from other seeders of same ISP, and upto 40 mbps from a cache server of their own which caches popular sites like Youtube, Filehippo, ..etc and torrents

I have 4mbps internet which enables 500KB/s download, I am able to download upto 35 GB in 24 hours, and watch 720p video without lag on YouTube, so even if I get 4mbps at Rs. 1000 I think almost all users will be content in India.

The cost is reasonable only for a few cities like here:

I give 12000 p.a. for 1mbps UL no FUP, from a local netwala. MTNL has a similar plan with landline connectivity and a few free calls costs 11988 p.a., but the service and the downtimes and even ping problems. NOT REASONABLE!
I saw a video of UNBOX THERAPY and they were in a hotel, and they were panicking of the 3mbps wifi there, well at least they had wi-fi in india? CRAP!
