I have airtel 3g and it gives upto 8mbps while downloading in steam. Torrents are slow due to port forwarding crap which I don't know how to fix.
I also have BSNL 3g for my 24 hr downloading rig and it gives upto 6.9 mbps at around 4 am.
After FUP kicks in I get like 50-200kbps

How come its nice. No offence but any kind of internet activity s**ks at 256 kbps. And 6GB is over in 1-2 days. Rs 800 for this makes me feel sorry.

I even used to consume 20-30 GB in a day (college lan). :p
for me 2 mbps is very low PITA speed. 4 mbps should be the least home broadband speed with no FUP.

They are talking about "average" speed and not highest speed.

Judgement Time!!
I think things will start improving only after 2015 when the national optical fibre network starts kicking in. I think the average speeds will start going up thereon.

Average speed is not a big issue, minimum speed is. Increase the minimum speeds, average should rise automatically. While TRAI suggests that minimum speed should be 512 kbps for broadband, telecos exploit it and launch those so called unlimited broadband plans with FUP limits. :facepalm:

Yeah, same here. Thanks to private operators like AirTel and all. If you only include government companies we will be having a Nobel for lowest bandwidth ;)
Yeah right. Thanks to them Internet is not only damn expensive but everybody has followed their trend of calling Internet with FUP as unlimited when its snail slow once you exceed the FUP limit.
