blitzkreiig Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Well i dont think that'll improve anytime soon with dial up connectins still operating at places (leave alone the villages rather even in Delhi) P.S- I'm at 1/3rd of that average@ 256kbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I'm at 1/3rd of that average@ 256kbps same here... well most of us on unlimited download plans are on 256kbps... but i think the average speed is not the actual speed for most of us... like strategy said it includes business connections...

Noctis Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 This can be expected, while most countries are developing their internet services we are going backwards. The recent fair usage policy ruined any little hope I had left. Just today I saw a brochure for new plans on my reliance wireless connection and a little star at the bottom said subscribers will be charged for usage above 10 GB for unlimited connections. Why don't they just call it Broadband+ 10GB and take off the word "unlimited". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechGuitar Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Not even 5% indians (5 Crore) must be using internet. And internet is very costly in India. 10k a month for 2mbps UL is the cheapest we get and in SE asia they pay 2k for 2mbps UL line . In other countries it is very cheap and fairly developed. So considering the current developing phase of India.... these figures don't matter. Karoo your hatred won't make the Indian Govt any better. And internet is not the priority for the government. Its gotta first look at full employment, removing poverty & starvation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
