I trade the stock mkt, every bit of faster response from the oder server counts. If our system crashes, takes about 5 mins for it to get back online - if that could could be knocked to under a min, WOW .. we may need it just once a year, or never at all, but its there and that is what counts.
Also, I suspect, they would consider these as premium accounts and give a lil better attention then the mass accounts.

Comdey Circus and Laughter challenge 3 has ended na .. so these guys plan to maintain a continuity and wanna keep tickling our funny bones.. thats hw u reason out with sch plans..
I dunno whos the big Idiot who decides upon all these plans ...
ppl in countries are getting behemoth connections with speeds good enuf to break the neck of our poorly fed connections and then this board of No Good men get these plans out cuz they know they have a monopoly ..
Wots that well covered and reg celebrity show cause jogger Anil Ambani doing for the sake of providing competition to the likes of Airtel/bsnl ?
i guess every one wants their share of the indian sweet melon (read ppl like us who want to have a decent virtual roads if we cant have the real asphalt ones...)

And one more thing with all these isp's.....none of them have proper availabitlity in any of the cities!!
You'll always find the so called big nationwide isp's dont provide service in your neighbourhood!!
And then they have the nerve to come up with the most stupid tariff plans.....these guys shld be whipped in public!!

"Tariff plans and product offerings are also being worked out to enable customers, who do not want a 24-hour eight mpbs speed but want them for certain applications or a short duration of time, to avail the new offering. "

BSNL doesnt give 2 mbps for the same cost.
One 2 mbps plan costs 250/- and has a download limit of 1 GB. The other for 500/- has a download limit of 2.5 GB. But the 500/- plan has night unlimited. whatever you download between 2 am and 8 am isnt counted towards your monthly limit.
You have to make sure you restart your modem at 2 am and restart it again at 8 am.
I would still stick to airtel 256 kbps for 999/-. Decent customer service and very less downtimes.

Is that true? I was under the impression these guys just paid a flat rate based on bandwidth (and not data usage) to whoever they lease the backbone connection from.
Putting data limits on end users might be a way of extracting more from the same amount of bandwidth though.
LOL BSNL is ADSL2 + only if u didn't knew.
ITU G.992.5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote frm the link
No restarts required...that issue has been fixed months ago

Some information about line Attenuation on wikipedia
Bsnl is using G.DMT which means it is ADSL1
even BSnl says so
SmartAX 882 ADSL Modem Configuration
also i tried connecting with other interfaces but failed here my D-link only connect with G.DMT, may be thier network may be capable of more but now they are using on ADSL only
Guys are you not getting this?
Airtel's strategy is now to steer clear of heavy downloaders like us. They are now targeting casual surfers/chatters who want high speed access for short durations like while doing video conferencing or watching online videos.
Effectively they are targeting high-paid executives who rarely get time to access internet at home but still want always available internet for email access and video chats with clients etc.
This is a well thought out strategy. Dont be mistaken that Airtel people are foolish. Their goal is to earn maximum profits from minimum bandwith. They are also succeeding at that.
