mgcarley is right.
I should have asked about wired connection.
I just asked about 3G. in the name of 3G, we are getting just upto 3.1 mbps.
ON CDMA, yes, but some of the GSM-based networks are offering 7.2, 14.4 or 21.1mbit/s if you have a device that supports it (most people don't).
my wired connection from bsnl is 512kbps for 1k.
1k is what... 15 euros? You won't get much for 15 euros in most countries (there's the basic cost of the infrastructure which needs to be contended with, so there will always be a lower limit to pricing) but for 30 euros a connection of 10mbit/s can be availed... the thing with pricing in Europe is, though, is that the next tier isn't just "double the rate, double the price" as it is here, the value gets extraordinarily good when you start getting to the higher service tiers.
The same company that offers 10mbit/s for 30EUR offers 40mbit/s for all of... 36EUR, and 100mbit/s for 45EUR, 200mbit/s for 55EUR and 350mbit/s for 70EUR. Using the same base price and tiers of the Europeans but the mathematics of existing telcos, one would expect the 40mbit/s connection here to cost 120EUR, a 100mbit/s connection here would cost 300EUR, 200mbit/s 600EUR and 350mbit/s over 1000EUR per month, which is... ridiculous... because someone on a 350mbit/s line isn't necessarily using 35x as much capacity. Based on the European pricing, the variation in actual usage is maybe about 120%.
I have used american network which downloads gbs in few second and they are dealing in TB.
Sure? Still not many
gigabit networks in the US and fewer still that would let you download TBs per month without paying for it
😉
Here we are still dealing with MB in very slow speed
🙁
There's nothing wrong with dealing in megabits just so long as the pricing isn't stupid: the incentive to upgrade your line should be there. Sure, you can start with 512k for 1k a month, but for 1.5k they should provide up to 4mbit/s and for 2k they should provide up to 8 and so on - not like it is now where you'd get 512k for 1k, 1m for 2k, 2m for 4k etc, or as I've suggested elsewhere, full-rate speeds on DSL with reasonable data charges.
Or, there's no reason that a combination of the two couldn't co-exist: basic charges Rs199 per month or whatever, no speed limit and data at Rs10/GB, for users up to a certain level (say 50GB/month). Once you get beyond that unlimited plans could in theory start coming in, with speeds being offered as mentioned. This is something that could be done *now*, and AFAIK without any changes to infrastructure.
I'm of the opinion that extreme changes in the way things are priced is what needs to happen for Indian broadband to progress the way we'd all like it to, not regulation and more plans that don't actually get implemented due to, guess what, poor broadband uptake.
