Official ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 thread !

Click the "full screen" pop out there, the video starts to explode into pixels. This is quality?!

If Indians had better connection, it wouldn't have taken much for them to upload a HD video.

Even if you have T-Line mbps connection at your home, if the encoding quality at source(utube) is bad, your bandwidth won't help.

yes, I very well know that. But Indians don't even have 1mbps connection.

Problem with above video is not bandwidth. Its the poor source(ESPN/utube).

How fast is your connection?

heck, you can't even stream 360p video properly on 512kbps (60 kB/s)

"If Indians had better connection, it wouldn't have taken much for them to upload a HD video"

^^ That's a pathetic excuse to not upload good quality coverage. Current Indian networks are carrying better quality. If you look around utube, there are already better quality bollywood/hollywood videos which run very smooth on Indian connections.

By the way, noone uses 256/512 kbps nowadays. It seems you live on some cheap shoddy connection.

Check this video of 10 times better quality than what over-expensive thugs ESPN/utube is offering for IPL -

And by the way, this coverage was done by a government agency(NIC). I know you hate them but they gave better than what utube did for IPL. Now, that's not to say IPL should be given to NIC LOL! Just showing you that Indians are not so backward that you can sell them low quality mangoes and then claim "be happy with what you get".

Most of the people here have this connection plan. I myself have 512kbit speed.

You're a foreigner? Then what are you doing in TDF? You should be on some big-ass foreign forum where you can compare you're godlike internet speeds with theirs.

The cheapest 1mbps unlimited connection is Rs. 999. Airtel and BSNL don't even provide 1mbps "Unlimited" - they cap your downloads and then decrease your speed.

At the end of the day, TRAI/DoT needs to give us faster connections. Broadband is currently defined as 256kbps. Make it 2mbps.

Quality is exactly similar to the video which I posted above.

And by the way, this coverage was done by a government agency(NIC). I know you hate them but they gave better than what utube did for IPL. Now, that's not to say IPL should be given to NIC LOL!

I would have loved it. I'm not a keyboard warrior like you sir.

But knowing NIC, they would have made the website saying "Best viewed in Internet Explorer 5.5" - "You are using Mozilla Firefox on Linux. Please use Internet Explorer 6.0 and above on Windows."

yes, I very well know that. But Indians don't even have 1mbps connection.

what age you live in buddy?

I have 2 Mbps connection and I get 1200kbps constant on avrage during daytime. During rush times, minimum is 600 kbps, far above what you mentioned as Indian standard.

And, during night hours, it crosses 2200 kbps!

Also, BSNL doesn't offer 256 **** anymore. lol Their minimum start from 512 and goes upto 4mbps. Airtel provides 8mbps for homes.

Now if you happy living in 256kbps age & watching pathetic quality utube coverage, then stay and be happy. But feelings are not mutual for those who ACTUALLY has better connections.

How can 2mb line give 1200 kbps download speed?

 

[skeletor]

honestly, you call this HD?? (video on the right - both have same video quality)

And then back to 256kbps after you cross 15GB.

Airtel provides 8mbps for homes.

Is that unlimited? Download 20GB in one day, then you get back to 256kbps.

How can 2mb line give 1200 kbps download speed?

I think you are confused between bits and bytes.

2mbps = 2048kbps = 256kBps.

 

[himangshu]

@tovishal2001-

Stop f***ing our heads.

I myself have 512kbps connection and many people here have internet not beyond than 512kbps.

Just as icosaid go shout at TRAI/DoT to give better connections.

And if you are a foreigner than you should join a Forum in your country not TDF

 

[tovishal2001]

Both videos have huge difference in quality. It seems you didn't check it. Its HD quality.

Bandwidth is a lame excuse for not maintaining quality in IPL coverage. If NIC can maintain and deliver HD, there is no reason why ESPN/utube can't.

I went to utube to find videos for archive but it seems there is not even an option for HD there. So, we are back to socialist times - "be happy with what we give you or shut up".

By the way, mine is BSNL and its not "capped". Its 2mbps and unlimited. My monthly usage is over 50GB and most people here use this. A hint for you - Evdo.

 

[skeletor]

At the end of the day, better Internet connection is the solution. And get rid of Fair Usage Policy crap.

What the hell man? If I question the pathetic quality of coverage ESPN/utbe is proving, I become foreigner? Duh!

And, if you are happy with what you have then be happy and try to archive those exploding-pixel WC videos on utube. It sucks!

I thought he saying about download speed.... An 2 mbps line can give max 256 Kilobytes/sec....download speed.

india was holding fake trophy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@amartya87 i really don't know why all of this suddenly started...

india was holding fake trophy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baba...Good afternoon!!!

i came to know this now....meh...

No it is not.

yup, I'd have loved it if we had HD video. But sorry, I'm only on a 1mbps Unlimited plan with MTNL.

By the way, mine is BSNL and its not "capped". Its 2mbps and unlimited. My monthly usage is over 50GB and most people here use this. A hint for you - Evdo.

May I know your plan? There is a Home 600 plan - 2mbps with 2.5GB daytime limit and 2am-8am Night UL.

.:BB COMBO:.
.:Unlimited Home Only:.
.:Standalone_UnLimited:.
.:COMBO BB Unlimited:.

As far as EVDO is concerned, it is wireless which means poor latency. THis translates into poor online gaming experience. And in EVDO, you share the IP address and you are behind a NAT.

I thought he saying about download speed.... An 2 mbps line can give max 256 Kilobytes/sec....download speed.

yes, he was saying about download speed. What he said was completely correct.

kb = kilobit
kB = kilobyte

Express in any unit. Computers expresses things in kB i.e. kiloByte.

 

[himangshu]

@tovishal2001-

Yes iam happy with what i have!

And if you want better quality then go and watch TV!

 

[tovishal2001]

Ok, now I understand. You are pissed at Indian government because you don't have unlimited internet bandwidths.

Well I sympathize with you but its not governance issue. Its the private ISP's who are putting these caps, for taking out juices from Indian public.

If you compare BSNL and private ISP, BSNL rocks in terms of bandwidth and cost-advantage. Now private firms don't want to invest their own money in improving their own networks but they want Government to "donate" them public infrastructure of BSNL in "free".

I won't blame GoI on that point. Airtel/TATA are simply greedy and don't know how to build and grow a market by improving broadband penetration through cheaper plans.

Instead of facilitating and encouraging usage, private firms are dampening the usage of bandwidth in India. They are forcing people to use less internet. This strategy is negative and they need think out of box, if they want to grow marketbase.

ye HD nahi hai.

 

[tovishal2001]

@ico, video I posted is HD. Press full screen tab. It doesn't explode into pixels like WC videos on utbe.

Seriously, now I don't know where to record world cup final. Now I think ESPN did this low-quality thing on purpose so that people don't record it off the internet. Then noone will watch ESPN for repeat telecasts. Greedy capitalist *******s.

I will buy some tuner thing for next world cup. **** ESPN and **** utube.
