But when i tested it gave me speeds around 300KBps. i got those speeds with a download manager. I have been using the bsnl unlimited plan at 256kbps.

I need email, chat, web surf to get info and some basic things which I would otherwise have to do via either courier or books etc. so vis a vis cost versus utility the broadband at say 128kbps does its job well. If you willing to pay im sure any SP will be willing to offer you the link capacity you need. But are you willing to pay? Sounds like you want a free lunch and have a huge appetite! A govt decides to do something and susidises it so that masses can benefit, the day more people want the luxury of higher capacity on the wire, more people get it.... Personally i think keeping low cost with minimal need is better than giving too much at a low rate, especially when there isnt a dire need. As far as UK goes, dont even compare yourself to them, they dont spit pan on the road or piss on walls like we do! First get to that level in your lifestyle, then ask for that subsidy, and if you are already at a GBP income level, then im sure you can afford the 2Mb links in india too :) If you willing to pay the sky is the limit, I frankly use the net from home for things that I would anyway do on a dial up and a nice Linux PC (no i think its great that SO costs are subsidised too), Do i want to play vdo games, no! its too expensive and even if it was cheaper, why ??

"upto" 8mbps "unlimited*" where the * meant something abt a "fair" useage policy where the users were discouraged to use the line in peak hours and massive downloading could be done only between 10pm and 6 am!.. oh.. that reminds me so much abt sify..but but but.. 8mbps.. and a whole night.. u could probably download the whole damn internet with that kinda speed! but the best part, what makes this package an awesome deal is.. its woth 15 pounds.. which.. is almost 1200 RS!!! now.. if they offer me a quarter of the bandwidth with the same restrictions here in india for half the price! i'd take it with both hands and even try grabbin it with my feet.. i pray that day comes to india soon! till then.. we shall have to suffer the agony! broadband with limits are present all over! but.. unlike the stupid 1gb.. they are more like 20-40gb.. but.. then again.. they offer up to 8mbps.. so.. using ur theory.. is basically the same as what our “lovely” bsnl does!

but what is funny though.. is that when people abroad use the term “broadband”.. they are talking of a 2mbps line upwards.. anything below is called.. dsl.. hmmm..

but the best part, what makes this package an awesome deal is.. its woth 15 pounds.. which.. is almost 1200 RS!!!

now.. if they offer me a quarter of the bandwidth with the same restrictions here in india for half the price! i’d take it with both hands and even try grabbin it with my feet.. i pray that day comes to india soon!

till then.. we shall have to suffer the agony!
