The terrif plan comes out.Rs 500 for 1 GB limit.I think I have to stay on my dialup for the rest of my life.

500 for 1 gig... damn... airtel makes that look crap.

Who is giving 1 GB for Rs 500?????

 

[Shyam Sharma]

I don't understand what is the use of so called broadband if you cann't transfer unlimited data? For normal surfing a dialup connection with a good ISP of a shared cable connection is sufficient. At 256 kbps speed 1 GB will be finished in 1 day. Then what should you do? Pay Rs. 2/MB for the excess usage?The people living in Air-conditioned room are simply a bunch of jokers who are cutting jokes to us and at the same time showing the world that we have also broadband.I am happy with my dialup on which I ger atleast 8 GB/month and costs me Rs. 1100/month.

http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataoneform.php shows me:
Warning: Too many connections in ../Connections/bsnl.php on line 9

so, they do not have enough bandwidth (or concurrent connections capacity for their corporate website)... how do they plan to satisfy the hunger of the broadband deprived india?

I think 1GB for Rs 500 at 256 kbps being offered by bsnl is far better than 400 MB for Rs 400 being offferd by mtnl at same speed

 

[anand]

BS all of it. I'm going to be forced to stay on Sify until we get actually get broadband here.

 

[Sushubh]

now the point is what changes would sify make to their 256kbps packages...

Who cares? As long as they have download limits that would be exceeded in less than day there's no point using those.

Well if MTNL wud have offered 1 GB for Rs 500, i wud have definitely given a second thought to it

Come on dude, please be optimistic, at least for our sake!

If this is true, then I guess I could opt for 1Mbps (that's right, there's a 'M' there, not 'k'!!) for ~3000 bucks and that would be on par with United States' speeds!!

 

[Sushubh]

trust me, airtel has given me hope that good net services exist in india. now let us hope they do not revise their packages after watching BSNL and MTNL brought NO COMPETITION with their BROADBAND services.

 

[Guest]

you know if tomorrow they give you unlimited downloads they will start enforcing no copyright content can be illegally downloaded. so hell u gonna do then.

 

[Sushubh]

and how would they do that? riaa mpaa could not do that. sify is dumb, dumber and dumbest. all rolled into one.
