i dont understand why the broadband connections are capped. why cant they implement a fair usage policy ? a fair usage policy worked for me when i was in london. it allowed the ISP to regulate the usage of those who abused their service. Why cant these money hungry telecoms do something about broadband? i dont think they want any progress in the country as they are looking at short term gains. no one cares about the consumer.

I’d like to have a national online system where one can go and find broadband choices by location (city/area, postal code etc).

This 128K and 256K Shared or CIR?
But who cares for people like us living in the corner of RWP where there is no DSL provider yet…

Hello Wajid, yar multinet already has “unlimited volume” packages with following prices

Rs 999 for 128 k connection,
and Rs 1999 for 256 k connection.

I am with ptcl because there is no other service in my area otherwise i will shift to multinet 128k because i am not a download guy who need speed just to download, i can live happily with 128k.

Because most important thing is 24*7 connection without worrying about volume.

What about VDSL (DATA and Video) becasue this is the future.

And about low cost BB i doubt because the authorities are least bothered about the users/customers they are interested in satisfying the foreign investment so the prices will remain at Rs.1000/256k with capped volume.

We need innovation in packages not just the traditional offerings..

I’d add the following pionts:

1. Tiered (and possibly) paid customer services
2. Send your guys to (cheap but effective) regional technology summits and open up your minds to industry standards, norms and best practices for topics ranging from how to log your proxy server to how you settle in-user fights and allegations.
3. Work towards a regional IX. That is the only way of ensuring that your broadband offering can stand up to its name in at least one way.
