We, the Unsatisfied Technologists
It's Quite unbelieveble that although technology has managed to grow so fastly and discipline itself, we ourselves have lost our discipline
You see, we all want unlimited broadband so that we can download more videos which are pirated, more softwares which again are pirated and more music which is again hmmm.. lemme see.. is illegal.
I'm certainly not against piracy and I would do the same if I had an internet connection. But, the point is, we have all learnt to misuse what we have.
No service provider gives anyone a Home Broadband connection with unlimited download limits. Reason? Because they are the same humans that we are and they all are well aware that the more speed we have, the more data we all are going to download.
One thing that we all need to understand is that so far, BSNL is the only service provider that has managed to provide us a good price/GB download ratio. Take any other service provider in India and I bet that the prices will be slightly higher when comparing all the Home packages.
Why do you think that there are no download limits on a 56K modem connection? Because ISP's know that even if you download data 24x7 with that speed, you are not going to exceed a certain limit. But that all changes when it comes to broadband.
Why am I supporting ISP?
Because, I work for an ISP. No, it's not BSNL or Airtel or any other Indian ISP. It's called 'Demon'. It's an ISP in the UK.
8Mbps speed was introduced 2 years back in the UK and till then Demon was the only service provider that gave unlimited downloads. But After 8Mbps came in it was a necessity to introduce capped download limits.
The Reason For Capping Download Limits?
The reason is simple. The more higher the download speed, the more data you will download, and the more data you download, the more ISP bandwidth you are going to eat up! And when you eat up more ISP bandwidth, the more you slow down their network, and the more you slow down there network ther slower the speeds are going to be for the rest of the users. The bottom line is your downloads affects other users speeds!
Let's take an example, couple of your neighbours are downloading huge amounts of data at say 2Mpbs throughput speed. Now, you can also download data at 2Mbps, right? Wrong!! Your download througput would probably be around say 1.2 to 1.5. Would you be happy with that? The answer is NO! If I knew my neighbour was doing that, then I would thrash him up and make sure that we all get equal download speeds!
So, the bottom line is, if there is no download limits, we wouldn't use our connection judisiously and download anything that we get for free online!
Even at Demon, the capped limit is 50GB for home users. Wait! it's not at Rs250! It costs exactly 20 pounds, that's 20x75Rs=1500Rs/month and that's the starting price. And, after the 8Mbps lines started, Demon is the only provider which offers maximum download of 50GB, other ISP will give users anywhere upto 30GB.
The point is, we all dream of getting unlimited downloads at extremely cheap prices but the truth is, it doesn't happen anywhere in the world. The best things don't come cheap and noting is free!
BSNL atleast gives unmetered access during offpeak hours(night). Why are we all cribbing about more data download when we never downloaded that much data off the internet? We all want to download more because of the simply fact that now it's faster, not really because we want to download it!
What we all need to do is to discipline ourselves and use our services responsibly, then some day the service providers will increase the download limits! Happy surfing!
