India Broadband

kush

I couldn't believe when I first read it on Reliance website. But they are actually offering broadband at a speed of 75kbps??
Department of Telecom's broadband policy clearly specifies the speed has to be atleast 256 kbps. So Reliance should not even be allowed to offer that service. I think its high time something should be done about that. This is just plain and simple fooling the ignorant customers.

I used to use them but they stuffed up the payment, i think there is something wrong with their company, also they have terrible support.

the thing is they write the downloading speed the actual downloading speed in ur case 75kbps. Its nt the bandwidth. Ur bandwidth is 512 kbps..... Coz thts wht i understood frm d fellow who explained it to me.. I had mtnl nu first. Sad service everywhere

The 75kbps service which reliance offers is not advertised as broadband , they call it high speed connection just like sify calls its 64kbps connection hi speed internet.

Blood sucking corporates at their best ....

ya man ur rite abt d damn blood suckin corporates but the 75kbps tht they advertise is the actual download rate. 512/8= 64kbps.... 75kbps is more than wht u bargainin fr... Dint mean to insult wid d division bit.. no offence mate

Admin

Nah no offence taken.. I just meant to clarify that no company in India would advertise speeds below 256kbps as broadband and to get around this problem they advertise those connections as high speed internet and stuff like that..

I think that you are talking about the download speed as with 75 kbps you should have some 512 kbps connection which i think makes them eligible of the conditions that telecome department has put forward.

So does this mean that these companies one way other another would get what they want and also if they are offering these kind of speed they should be permitted to advertise it also.

Airtel used to offer 128 kbps under the name of broadband, that itself was questioned by many critics and authorities and i am curious to know what they are going to do about this 75 kbps, it is neither broadband nor dial-up, its in between those two and should not be called as broadband for sure.
