Which Internet Connection is everyone using ?

Recommended Posts

reliance is rolling out wimax services (eliminates last mile connectivity issues which increases costs) across various cities in india - i think the 2mbps/4gb plan costs under 1k BUT their nascent services are plagued with various technical issues (bad weather, changing tower positions, software glitches resulting in no IPs being assigned for hours etc)

 

airtel has also announced a 4mbps plan (pricing not available) that should roll out shortly.

 

and tata indicom's 1mbps (unlimited) offering is now available in more areas - check tataindicombroadband.in for details.

common broadband packages and speeds to expect:

 

1. 64Kbps - 64 kilobits per second - 8 KBps - 8 kilobytes per second - 28MBph (28 megabytes per hour)

= 700 MEGABYTES PER DAY (1 XVID VIDEO)

 

2. 128Kbps - 128 kilobits per second - 16 KBps - 16 kilobytes per second - 56MBph (56 megabytes per hour)

= 1.38GB PER DAY (2CD XVID RELEASE)

 

3. 256Kbps - 256 kilobits per second - 32 KBps - 32 kilobytes per second - 112MBph (112 megabytes per hour)

= 2.76GB PER DAY (1/2 DVD PER DAY)

 

4. 512Kbps - 512 kilobits per second - 64 KBps - 64 kilobytes per second - 224MBph (224 megabytes per hour)

= 5.5GB PER DAY (1 DVD PER DAY)

 

5. 1Mbps - 1024 kilobits per second - 128 KBps - 128 kilobytes per second - 448MBph (448 megabytes per hour)

= 11GB PER DAY (2 DVDs PER DAY)

YAY :jumpy: :jumpy: :)

Applied for tata 1 Mbps unlimited plan...will get my connection with 10 days (but according to MT and Sam it might be sooner than that so keeping my fingers crossed).

Monthly rs 4000 (incl. taxes)...can't wait now :)

Good luck mate with a TATA Indicom. Over here TATA's service totally blows. I remem a friend of mine ordering TATA but had to wait for over 3 weeks after which he decided to take a refund from them and switched over to some other ISp

i hope u realise that it is the tata UPTO 1 Mbps unlimited plan which means at times it could go to 256kbps even

For online gaming the upload speed is equally important. Sure, with MTNL you can download your "research material" very quickly. But when playing online especially on a P2P system live XBL, the connection lags are more frequent. The upload should have a minimum throughput of 256 kbps for smooth gaming. Obviously the higher the better. Luckily TaTa Indicom caps their upload speeds higher at 512 kbps. Which means lag is minimal.
