[tinku dhar]

DAMN ..... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well when is india gonna introduce it ???????????????? i think its a DREAm for pplz here

may be in comin 5yrs lolz

 

[champ_rock]

well, whenever i get a chance i will go to korea.. i will take a connection.. download full one month.. come back happy with stacks of dvd's and hard disks...

 

[Anand_RF]

I'm hoping we get 512kbps unlmtd connections for under 2000 rs in the next 5 yrs here. Indian ISPs all suck!

 

[sysfilez]

my india is gr8. distributing 64kbps and claiming it as bb.

 

[gary4gar]

Why isnt TRAI doing something to make broadband cheap and faster. 2Mbps broadband still costs 9000 in India.Whereas in Korea you can get it for as less as 100 rupees

well prices are due to fall in next 6-8 months b'cos companies like reliance,airtel,bsnl & railtel(a railway telecom venture) are busy laying under sea cables form which barti(airtel) & falcon(reliance) have already done it. this is specially done for taking our goverment's plans of e- governance to a next step.
so sit back & n'joy

I'm not saying I'll pay rs 2000/mo for 512kbps, I'm saying India's major ISPs don't even have a 512kbps plan. It is a statement made in desperation lol.

1 Gbps !!!! think of what all we can download with 1 Gbps connection ....a 1 GB movies would take only 8-9 seconds to download ...... i wish i were at korea right now would be lucky enough to get this type of connection

What drvarunmehta said makes lot of sense, what's the use of such speeds when our hard disks won't be able to cope up with it.
Also, I feel this will only be for servers as the cost will be on higher side and if this is for the home users, there will be hardly enough speed on the server end to make this worthwhile.

painful news. It's like u r stuck in the desert without water, and you see in a distant a person drinking water without any short in supply. sobbbbb painful

well the person you're seeing isn't drinking mate , he's fishing in his own swimming pool !

Yesterday I was feeling that I was in Korea. Reason my Sify 256 Kbps connection was Giving speed of 1.6 Mbps. And what I did was I downloaded Vista RC1 for x64 in one night

gr8 pt by him, but naturally faster drives will be produced as the need would arise for ppl with sucxh connections

 

[blackleopard92]

well, the HardDisk wouldn't be a factor if u use a RAID 0 setup.
HDs on RAID 0 can give 120MB/s.

 

[crazywolf]

very intresting information friend keep in touch.

 

[Third Eye]

In 10GB connection,i will download all the things except illegal things immediately but it is a dream for me.

 

[mehulved]

Also, the following thing makes me think if this will be for home users

``However, we have created technology taking advantage of various length frames of optical fiber, increasing the number 32 fold to 512 users per cable,'' Kim said.

Only 512 users per cable. That means very high cost. I feel this will be feasible only on servers for some time.
