You got to wait for 2mbps downloads

[24online]

According to BSNL executives, the company will only be able to upgrade its existing subscribers from a minimum download speed of 256 kbps to 2 mbps and will not be able to offer fresh connections until March 2007.

BSNL, India’s largest Internet service provider, has a market share of 44% with about 9 lakh broadband subscribers.

Effective January 1, BSNL's current broadband plans will also undergo changes. The download limit in Home 250 and Business 700 plans are being enhanced to 1 GB and 4 GB from 400 MB and 2 GB, respectively. It is also bringing down the per-MB download rates from Rs 1.40 an MB to Rs 0.90 an MB in the Home 250 plan.

India has 3 million broadband subscribers.

^^ KB=Kilo Byte , Kb=Kilo Bit

Bits – Bits are represented as either a 0 or a 1. If it helps, you can
think of bits as bits of a cookie, since we have are very sure of
what we like and don't like, the bit is either good (1) or it is bad
(0) .
Byte – A byte consists of 8 bits. A byte is generally used to represent 1
character, like an A, or a #.

THIS IS BULL$HIT!!! Now we pay 900/- for trickles of bandwidth!!!
I really feel to spit out all the 4 letter words i know onto the BSNL guyz.

 

[infra_red_dude]

koolbuez, i second you! they should at least upgrade the Home UL 900/+ to 1mbps... this is unfair!
