I am not satisfied with the speed of Broadband because the organization doesn’t keep the promise. the speed is always only 100kbps while the organoization promises for 256kbps.

State of broadband in India…

Going through GigOm, I bumped into the article which states that BSNL will be launching a 2Mbps broadband connection in the country this year. If that claim itself isn't ridiculous, they say that that…

Hi! MTNL (the state owned telco which operates in Bombay and Delhi) as also announced that it will upgrage everyone's connection "upto 2 Mbps * conditions apply" starting Jan 1, 2007. I am an MTNL user and called to find out about the all important "download limit" which unfortunately remains unchanged at 1 GB a month and Rs. 0.80 per MB once I exhaust the 1 GB.

For India to truly get connected Indian ISP's need to do away with the concept of download limit.

I'm waiting for the day when we have an ISP who does the same.

Rs.250 is a competitive rate for the Indian household especially as young SW engineers emerge in homes that could erstwhile not afford to spend Rs250 on internet, this would be good. It is a far cry from Rs500 per month that we used to spend on lousy dial up connections. I suppose charging for downloads is a way of market differentiation and to meter the usage for the price much like the Cellular Data plans which could be good to make quick bucks for telcos in the infancy of broadband in India.

What does this mean for Residential versus Cyber-Cafe based usage? How does one look at the 1.92M number? Offerings focused on cyber-cafes (like Sify I assume) have a great business model in controlling usage/download. Is fixed line broadband ever going to be a challenger to wireless bb in India when the latter does take off?

This is really frustrating. India takes 2 steps forward only to find itself taking 1.5 steps backward at the same time. I would pay $40-50/month for unlimited usage for even 512. The Indian Govt. is punishing heavy downloaders and those with VoIPs. If India wants to advance the ITES/Outsourcing boom further, they should allow unlimited usage in the home. Imagine working from home and how much outsourcing costs could fall.
