India Broadband

talkaboom · 09-11-2008, 01:44 PM

Well, the fact of the matter is most Indians use the internet only to download pirated songs/movies/video.
The other side of the coin has people like me who use legal software and use their broadband primarily for gaming. And yes we are a frustrated lot. My friends in Mumbai get latencies of 400ms on servers where I struggle with 800ms+. Ofc expected latencies are "Less than 200ms". Is there a broadband service in South Delhi that can claim to give gamers a good value for money?
Just so you know, i was not referring to flash based games on "zapak"(replace with ur fave site), but serious hardcore gaming.
I am currently using Spectranet 256kbps(their highest available) through one of their Channel partners. Service is downright awful. There are some golden periods in the month when i actually get speeds of 40kbps, but its usually 15-20. Airtel is supposed to be good, though i have never tested it, but they donot provide the service to my home as all the nodes in the Distribution box right behind my house are used up. I have applied twice, and the 2nd time, my money was not even refunded. So much for reputation.

me lives in noida ad use cable internet called "image broadband"
I am surprised to see how low speed you guys get.

I pay my provider 500/month and well i do get me some pretty good speeds
here is a screen shot of it 130 -150 kbps

that is the highest and normal is some where around 40-50 kbps

All this in 500 bucks.... I am satisfied
