Broadband going to get better (???)

[GNUrag]

Part of the announcement is based on the fact the the crappy monopoly on FLAG's underwater cables is expiring soon. Once that is done, we'll have high bandwidth available like those lifetime mobile prepaid cards

^^ Hi Anurag ,

Tell more abt who is in its competition with flag to end its monopoly. I am totally unaware of this matter. not reading too much telecom news lately.

I would be happy with 256Kbps unlimited for 500 bucks. This is not much of a asking. All ISPs can definitely provide this.
Figure this...Tata Sky is providing DVD quality pictures for around 225 bucks per month. If they can stream unlimited DVD quality pictures at such reasonable costs, why don't ISPs provide such speeds???

 

[Choto Cheeta]

well take a look at this plan ... with then compair the price with any ISP of India...

You made me to cry

 

[navjotjsingh]

10MBps at around Rs3600? Wow...and also a LCD TV Free! Wow...India needs 150 years for that to happen? These politicians have become a roadblock in getting india to BB SuperHighway...

I want atleast 512KBps Unlimited at Rs 400/month via DSL!! Can anybody give me that?

 

[mehulved]

And you forgot about the addon features mentioned in small over there. They're as good as non-existent in our ISP's.

 

[navjotjsingh]

Yeah....that LCD TV looked too tempting...that I forgot about Free Wii, Free ADSL Modem and other extras!

 

[Apollo]

High speed internet soon?! I'm drooling...

 

[webgenius]

You guys better stop day-dreaming. Be happy if BSNL offers 256kbps unlimited for 500 bucks. I think it won't get much cheaper here.

 

[aditya.shevade]

After taking a look at that 10Mbps plan........ What the hell bsnl is thinking of? Even after 4 months, I have never received D/L speed more than 28KBps on a 256kbps(32KBps) line, never.

Join the club!!! I too achieve a consistent speed of 27kBps, sometimes swinging upto 33KBPS.

 

[mehulved]

KLucky people both of you. On hathway, I just about reach 25. 28 is a rarity to celebrate.

 

[blackpearl]

Well I get an average of 29-30kbps download speed with 256kbps BSNL.
The speed depends on how far your PC is from the local exchange; the farther you are, the lower the speed you get.

 

[ashwinkumar]

yeah , same for me 29-31 , my house is situated 2km away from the local exchange.

 

[webgenius]

Do you guys get constant speed or does it keeps fluctuating?

 

[s18000rpm]

mines constant

always between 29-30kbps.
i d/l files using the Opera, & it shows me the speed.

last big file i d/l was NFS Carbon Demo @ steady 30kbps & it took nearly 6 hours for complete d/l.

 

[aditya.shevade]

I do get constant speed of 28KBps when D/L with DAP. If I use the default file D/L program of IE, then I get something like 10-12 KBps.

Give the cable company a shot, give them the bandwidth and we can take that from them via local area network. The interesting part of this is if you know much of your frnds then u can share the d/l files and the speed for local n/w share will be 1 mbps (min).
