How are you guys planning on using your Hayai connections?

You might be best off keeping a seedbox for creating the buffer and using Hayai in a more responsible manner, which, really, is all our FUP amounts to (the numbers are there more because people were asking for numbers/approximations of what this might be, which is a reasonable request IMO)


This is exactly what I was thinking of too. The seedbox is only going to be useful till I have enough buffer on all the trackers I'm into, then I can comfortably make do with with Hayai till such time when said buffers might need a little more pushing.

Nothing new except using HZ with DC++ hub... rest all of my INternet usage and habit will remain same... But Yes I am going to save at least 1000bucks per month 🙂

what would i do with hayai? save a lot of time and sleep more.

I would stop running here and there, waiting for my stuff to load.I would, mmm experience peace of mind that friggin matters to me like HELL.

I would probably use a bit more .. cos nowadays I do not watch long videos as no patience for it to buffer & then play 😀

hehe. once you have a faster connection, you would not want to watch youtube videos as there would be shit load of other things to check out at the same time. 😀

Such as video sites better than Youtube 😛

I would plan on using Hayai once I ACTUALLY have it installed at my home. It's going to be next year. Plenty of time for me to chill and not worry about it 😉

I am taking my current ISP which i am having when i get hayai in bangalore and will stop telling excuses to my team that "my net is not good" lolI am lot disappointed with my isp from past 1 week not able to play online games 🙁Any at same time I can handle chat tool + play my online game as well test the game also and download as same time too

I would probably get some additional storage first. When does it launch in Delhi?

I'd like to think that Hayai's entry is going to help a lot of businesses that could do with better speeds and service, the likes of which we haven't seen yet in India. Surely there are also many people considering new ventures that simply haven't been possible so far because of how much our current services suck, and also because the really high-speed connections currently available are so expensive, they're way out of reach for all but the biggest businesses. If I had some ideas, I'm sure I'd be busy planning by now, but the truth is, I don't. 🙂I'm sure there are others who have some ideas....it would be interesting to hear them. I'm guessing there would be countless possibilities opening up in fields like medicine, education, developmental projects etc, once the network gets a substantial user base, but again, my imagination is limited by my knowledge. Mgcarley, it'll be interesting to hear your input on this as well. You've seen a lot of high-speed broadband around the world....have any businesses particularly caught your fancy, or impressed you in any way, things that couldn't have been possible without high-speed connections, or products/services that are simply being delivered in a better way?

Apart from the inevitable things like better media/entertainment and cloud services, I don't think that there will be a significant change in how we use the Internet with the availability of more speed, because there are so many other restrictions that would make it difficult for some of the interesting things to thrive here.

My hope is that with higher speeds will come better productivity through both being able to do things faster and making things we already do (like video conferencing, facebook, flickr etc) easier, and that services already being implemented in India (e-government etc) will become more pervasive, and I think it will better allow businesses to interact more directly with customers and/or employees too. High-speeds should make it easier to utilize the services which are already available, while providing a platform for people more imaginative than myself to come up with new and interesting ideas.

When I was living in Finland there was a great little startup called floobs which basically allowed you to stream events live & on the fly - you could even use your mobile as a webcam. Naturally, being Finland, it was aimed at users with Nokia products (or iPhones), and they actually had a very nice product. Sadly, the business model wasn't sustainable.

I think that there would be a lot of improvement in usability of the web, especially India-centric (usually government) sites because waiting for things to download no longer becomes a problem. I do hope, however, that faster speeds doesn't result in more bloat from the web developers and graphic artists.

I used to be fairly well involved in ArcticStartup and still know many of the people involved, and at our monthly meetups/opencoffees (something I'd like to see happen here too) it was an excellent place for people to throw ideas around and share what they're up to. One of the ideas that I very nearly got involved with was Mysites.com. Mysites was a bit like Dropbox is now, but before Dropbox happened, and I think it couldn't have existed without high-speed Internet.

I don't have too many ideas myself (though there are sure to be plenty around) but ideally Hayai is able to provide a platform where new ideas can take shape. The original "what would you do" thread also has a few ideas.

well guys...i respect Mgcarley and hayai..but dreaming about ISP which might take 2-3 years to launch in areas outside mumbai ...is just sad 😕

Could you elaborate?

Yes, I used to use Mysites some time back as well, and I guess Dropbox hadn't caught on at the time. How are they doing these days? I guess the whole cloud computing thing is where its at now, what with so many services catching on in the last few years.
