Dear Sir ,
SUB : Internet Service Providers Monoply
I would like to bring to your notice about the monoply enjoyed by isp's .
The MTNL site defines broadband as - An 'always-on' data connection that is able to support interactive services including Internet access and has the capability of the minimum download speed of 256 kilo bits per second (kbps) to an individual subscriber from the Point of Presence (POP) of the service provider intending to provide Broadband Internet service where multiple such individual Broadband connections are aggregated and the subscriber is able to access these interactive services including the Internet through this POP. The interactive services will exclude any services for which a separate licence is specifically required, for example, real-time voice transmission, except to the extent that it is presently permitted under ISP licence with Internet Telephony."
despite this most of the isps provide speeds as low as 96 kbps and charge high rates and also provide poor services . I myself am using hotwire (Direct Internet Limited) for which i get only a 96 kbps connection . The government has announced 2 mbps speeds for all bsnl and mtnl subscribers but other isps like airtel , sify , hotwire , tata indicom and VSNL do not even provide a decent 256 kbps connection and that too is expensive and has many data caps .
Please take the required action .
Thanking You
I want everyone whose troubled with their connection to ask the minister to take some action , maybe hell do sumthing .
