India Broadband

ahan ahan ahan.. i dont think co's in india are gonna offer cheaper broadband anytime sooner..
just been back from UK n am shocked at the broadband service provided here and the prices charged..
the isp's in india are havin a loot out of the users..



cheers!!!

Absolutely wrong, india is not the biggest broadband in the world but it could be United States. Perhaps indian could be the cheapest broadband in the world in terms of lowest startup cost to own a broadband.

"Perhaps indian could be the cheapest broadband in the world in terms of lowest startup cost to own a broadband"

ooh really.. how about 2mbps unlimited for just GBP 4.99 (Rs. 400) a month..?(offered by many ISP's in UK with free modem and installation)

i bet u'll never get ne-thing like dat in INDIA any sooner..

it is all mutual understanding between the ISP

if one of the ISP starts giving that price then other will follow

it is like the mobile traffic, first the incoming calls where charged but then one provided gave free incoming and this was adapted by all

No where in the world are mobile incoming call free !!!

if fact in US you pay for incoming SMS also

who said incoming calls are not free anywhere else in the world..?

Dubai, Australia, Canada, UK, Ireland, Pakistan, Sri Lanka.. to name a few, where telecos offer free incoming!!!

Infact in UK u can even get unlimited free outgoing calls on some tarrifs..

When this talk is about Broadband, we should stick to broadband.

Two points.
1. Indian is not the country having the biggest broadband penentration
2. In countries like US and UK, broadband is much more cheaper and availavle at much higher speeds.

It would take not less than 5 years for India to provide 2 MBps unlimited internet for Rs.1000
