looks promising...lots of people were waiting for this....however again they dissapoint by putting **** download caps ......this is what they are saying...

Quote:
roughly the price point could be around Rs 2,000 for a download of 7-8 Gbs.
now thats horrible......who will pay 2k for 8gb of download....

My god 8 mbps, i could not imagine it, but I know that they may claim 8 mbps it hardly would reach even 1 mbps, just like BSNL or MTNL who claims to give 2 mbps speed, but I have hardly touched 500 kbps whenever I checked. These claims are only under standard working conditions just like mileage that most of the two-wheelers and car companies claim that it can achieve but only under standard conditions.

I agree that the price plan is very high now,but as there will be increase in the members then it will introduce some schemes to which i guess will benifit the users inreturn.

when mtnl and bsnl say 2mbps they provide it....i have myself seen at a no of places ppl getting 150KBPS+ speeds ....so 150-200KBPS+ makes it only 2Mbps...there's a differnce between bits and bytes.....so 8Mbps means 8/8=1MBPS(1 megabyte per sec) , i think you will get that much....

I would still like to stick to my present 256 connection which is unlimited and if you check this 8 mpbs connection you would need to pay 2000 for 7-8 gb connection which i think is not good option.
