This aint photoshop dude!
I talked to one of the customer care *executives* and they said this all happens due to short circuiting in internal wiring. When 2 (or more) wires touch each other then it is possible that some of the users get the entire bandwidth of the location (depends if it is "mohalla"; street or whole of your town). This is possibly what happened with gaurav.;)

Can't believe! I think as @kush says, this image is modified by photoshop some kinda super image editor like GIMP in linux.

@gauravakaasid : What speed do you get on normal downloads? ie non-torrents? Because I usually get speeds of 2-3 mbps, but I can't do torrents. Those speeds are for http downloads.

If such a speed comes, then it remains for sometime only. on my 150 kbps connection, http d/w once went upto 150 kbps and remained constant for about 5 mins.

^^ Haila... I can guess what you have downloaded. :D

BTW that airtel broadband page gives the original result for the first time test only.
