it’s a fiction that is hard to believe, the connections above 2Mb are rare ( i think 12% of all the “linked” folk)

add to that the ATI ,our Big Brother but still the rising rate of the subscribers is getting “high” that’s a fact,

we got a long path to walk (chill out haters :P).

I’m from Tunisia and I’ve never experienced such speeds. The best we can have is 1,5 Mb (in theory) for the public.

Add the fact that all internet connections pass trough a central agency (managed by the government like Iran), you can easely understand the state of internet connections are like 10 years ago in Europe

Its pointless for them it they establish an ISP for giga bits and do not find anyone interested in getting it at such high rates. Heck it will cost the general public way higher than minimum wage rate in the country.

I guess todays class is over for you son any doubts Reply to this let see how talented you are :P.

Between 2004 and 2007 (when I was in India) I got consistently good service from BSNL on a DSL line.

Although slow to begin with (312 kbps), they changed to a 256k/2 MB shared line in ’05 that was pretty decent between 10pm and 5 am when everyone was asleep.

I’m not necessarily doubting what you say but if you *are* getting the units mixed up, there’s your explanation.
