MUMBAI: VSNL on Tuesday cut international bandwidth prices by up to 45 per cent, a move that will give relief to massive bandwidth users like BPOs, call centres and IT companies.
With the slash in tariff, the sixth in the last four years, prices of half circuit international private lines (IPLC) have come down from Rs 40 lakh in 2001 to Rs 11 lakh for E1 (2Mbps), from Rs 72.50 crore to Rs 11.40 crore for DS3 (45 Mbps) and from Rs 21 crore to Rs. 3.30 crore for STM-1 (155Mbps).
These prices are for restorable capacities between India and the US on the Tata Indicom cable, VSNL said in a statement.
The company claimed that this latest drop in international bandwidth prices, marks a whopping 84 per cent reduction in four years.
VSNL's recent initiatives of building the Tata Indicom Cable and completing the TGN acquisition have provided it with greater control on international bandwidth cost components.
VSNL had already reduced prices by about 48 per cent on the Tata Indicom Cable in the six months since the cable was put into service. - PTI [/b]
45mbps more expensive than 155mbps....cool
is that an error? seems to me like it should have been 725 lakh to 114 lakh.
now we need to wait n see what these tata people offer. :blink:
