Don't feel jealous, please

Broadband in India is slowly improving. But I consider myself very fortunate
already.

Here's why:

*img225.imageshack.us/img225/8375/conndr3qd9.jpg

A 440MB (yes, Mega Bytes, i.e. nearly 1/2 GB) file comes through in 3 minutes 13
seconds. (This was the famous rar archive containing best youtube/metacafe videos
2006/2007, all in MOV format).

I can do 12GB in about 4 hours, and in a full day...........I'll need to
buy a 40GB harddrive. lol.

Best of all, Limewire is totally on dope, running at 800 KBps (Bytes) during times of
heavy traffic, and anywhere between 1.5 to 3 MBps (Bytes) otherwise. Shareaza
and gang are just as good.

One confession though: this is not my personal home connection. It's the
connection which my company provides!

Anyone with similar specs?

Oh I almost forgot! -> Life is good!

What connection is that ?

whats ur bandwidth ?

the link is not shown their ?? looks like a trick to me .

Which company n location ? :shock:

A

oh my god :O
this much speed in INDIA :O

which country from are you.

You have this @ home! How much you pay for it?

AMAZING

This is Bangalore, India. I'm an Indian (no doubt there :smile:

and,.......we rule!

The reason why I blanked out the url was that everyone might start
bombing the server, and it will crash. It was not a photoshop fix. This was
an apache directory listing I found by the famous google search.

intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size
+(rar|mpg|avi|wmv|mov|flv) youtube

In the above query, I'm searching all apache directory listings (people's
personal directories and more, hosted blatantly on the world wide web).

I'm looking for youtube videos, with the filetypes
(rar|zip|mpg|avi|wmv|mov|flv).

E.g., if you wanted to some music by Vaul Dan Pyk, you'd type:

intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3)
Vaul Dan Pyk

And voila......explore a little, use a little intelligence to modify the parameters,
and google will give you things which no freakin torrent, p2p or premium service
can give you.

Anyways, coming back to the point:

My bandwidth is a VSNL leased line at 45Mbps (bits), which translates to
5.625 MBps (mega bytes).

Kinda scary what it is capable of, but I'm only proving that broadband in
India is not backward or outdated. It's as glorious as ever, but yes, it is
nowhere close to being widespread or affordable, that I accept handsdown.

A T3 45 Mbps costs 10 lakhs a year, (and 16 for reliance). Most companies
have these, but the lines are so split up amongst a vast pool of employees
that the individual throughput suffers too much.

I've been fortunate enough to get one entire leased line for myself, and there
are plans in our department to split this up further..........but fortunately,
that's not happening in the next year!

So, I'm planning to buy a lot of harddisks, a 1 year rapidshare premium, a
1 year Megaupload premium, and I plan to download for a whole lot of
people for a nominal fee.

I'm thinking of Rs. 20 per GB + courier rate for DVD/CD delivery to the
respective city. (1 GB takes 10 minutes during heavy traffic, and 6 minutes
at night). So the rate is quite reasonable.

So, a 4.7GB DVD download would cost:

Download: Rs. 20 x 4.7 = Rs. 94
DVD: = Rs. 12
Courier = Rs. 100 or 120 I think.
My profit

= Rs. 20

Total = Rs. 226.

I hope that sounds reasonable?

u devil.. nice way of earning.

There was a post in neowin last day describing that in south korea LG Powercomm provides home internet with 100mbps fibre optics for 30$ unlimited. So that makes 360$ for a year. which becomes 15000 at present exchange rate. When this will become reality in India? and I am paying 700 plus taxes for only 128kbps in India :cry:

I consider myself lucky even if i get a steady speed of 5.8kBps for some time... been downloading a 2.5gb file since 3 days..

BSNL 500 plan
can download 4.8gb for Rs20
Total time = 6hrs

A small correction dear:

*img260.imageshack.us/img260/5528/shotrc9.jpg

As we can see, your BSNL 500 plan DOES NOT ALLOW 4.7GB to be downloaded...........

ha ha ha ha ha ha..........very nice try, but nevermind.

^^Haha....Sorry boss.....see the night unlimeted....i am currently downloading 4.5 gb per day

C

@godling - In Home 500 plan net usage is free from 2 am to 8 am so you can download anything and it won't cost u.

Oops. Missed that one.

Ok, I'll turn the tables. I can do 1GB in 7 minutes (avg, 10 minutes worst case).

Let's go by worst case:

In a day, I can do: 144GB. (I won't be at the comp all night, lol, but will use
a scheduler).

How many GBs can you do in a day, cyberboy_kerala? 5? That's it?

Best of all, I can do it when I feel like it. No night slot, bandwidth limit and
the likes. Just like we head for the loo to download some shizzy, I download
data the very same way, almost whimsically

The truth is always hard to accept, and grapes out of reach are always
sour, and inspite of these two facts being unanimously agreed upon, we
human beings still remain totally reluctant to accept them.

Peace.

Who is competing with you, dude?

We all crave an Internet connection like yours.

Wait, I didn't mean to sound like a conceited jerk, and I definitely don't
want to show off something which is not truly mine.

I get to use it alright, but my company pays for it. I started this thread
just to point out that superb connectivity does exist in this country, but
is priced way out of the reach of common man, which I think is not fair.

cyberboy_kerala, sorry about what I wrote there. The punk teen in me
does exist till date, and carries me away from refined behavior too often.
Don't take offence.

I really feel instead of just blowing trumpets about "Year of broadband",
and providing measly 512/1/2 Mbps broadbands with all sorts of tricky
time/volume based limitations, the government should seriously consider
bringing "worldclass" connectivity to everyone, at reasonable costs, without
any restrictions on usage.

One day I hope that screenshot of mine becomes as common as...........
the occurence of Adobe Acrobat Reader on a Digit Cd/Dvd. lol!

(Awwwww mods, don't make that face. Facts are facts.......

)

Peace brothers and sisters, love you all.

There's another person here, kartik, who gets insane speeds at work. Both of you are a bunch of lucky --=beep=--. :lol:

What the heck happened to the images in these posts?

Why are they showing up as links and not inline images? Or did I
change some stupid settings?

Can someone see the images in place?

Its not my mistake u see, the speed was to much to look at other parts

.. yea even I was blinded by the speed he was talking about

They're there, of course. You must have changed some settings.

Heh.. i have 70 Mbps in my office (not kidding)

^^wat :shocked:
Lan or internet??

wich company... i ll be lookin for these types during my placement..

Thats insane. You should ask Rs 50 per DVD. No bandwidth charge since you don't pay for the BW. Plus Rs 100 shipping. Total Rs 150 ~ Rs 160 MAX.

Im working in Computer Sciences Corporation. We have our own VPN, the IPs we get in office are US IPs.. Heh.. We are our own ISP

I really envy you too.

Here I am, jumping over a 128kbps connection.

R

the faster they fly the harder they crash.

one question i don't think your company provides a C2D with 1gb ram.it must be trouble to keep it stable if you have such high conn. speeds

plz can anyone simplify the no p2p method which he has suggested

Your right Randy Orton, I'm not on a C2D, but on an Athlon 6000+ AM2 with
2GB dual channel Ram and a 19" widescreen display.

Reason? Because we use RAD for our J2EE applications, and it refuses to be
a responsive software without a minimum of 2GB ram.

I'd be more than happy to send you a shot of my PC which would also
include the 19" widescreen monitor, but I cannot as that would give
away all details of where I'm working. Would become too obvious. Besides,
the shot wouldn't be a proof of the specs.

Most companies these days opt for sensational machines. We've even
got a few Dell Precision 690's which is being used here. That's as insane
as it can possibly get.

I'm sure kalpik has something similar in CSC.

Anyways, glad you asked.

godling said:

No, I am sure I know something a lot more insane than that.

^^ LOL! wink wink!

i think , one should not feel jealous... b/s ur company spend 10 lac for this high speed net.... we spend some thousand rupees in 4 digit....and ur company spend in 7 digit....so no jealousy...

hope u can enjoy warez stuffs...

If anyone get high speed than any others at same rate which others paid, then it is issue of jealousy....and ppl get high speed by tweaks,tricks and hack... but as a rule of forum and forum is publicly free/cached by google... no one interested to dicuss this issue including me....

but some isp owners does not know ppl trend towards use of internet... they still believe that ppl use net for surfing, chatting & commu etc... but new trend is now heavy downloading......

What is it that you are trying to state? Can you be a bit more lucid semantically?

R

Your right Randy Orton

I'm no Randy Orton.Edge is the rated "R" superstar.

I officially rate your office PC "R"

So questions to be asked at interview.

1. What is my CTC
2. Will I get pickup and drop
3. What is my career growth
4. ...
5. ..
.
.
.
n. The most important. "What is your bandwith and speed and can I use it for my personal benefits"

^^^ LOL

. I should have asked this before in my company

Of course you should ask. Google provides insane connections I've heard, so
does a whole lot of companies.

In any of these companies, you won't find anything below 45Mbps. Problem is
the amount of sharing a line suffers. Lesser the better.

Ask your interviewer:

"What mode of internet connectivity is your company providing, and roughly
.......no wait, exactly how many people are sharing it?"

lol....

You guys know what happened the other day?

I was using IDM with rapidshare, and after downloading about 1.4GB,
RS tell me I've downloaded more than 25GB (on that very day).

I was in a total shizzy, but their support rocks!

I finally understood what a multipart download (16 parts) does to the
reported buffers between the servers.

You guys know any accelerator which works well with Rapidshare without
screwing up like this?

I can't install things that require Admin priviledges, but I can try. (Ok I
confess........I'm not admin on this PC.......lol).

Today for some reason my accelerator got corrupt, and I was too lazy
to install it.

Screwed it, and went to fancy myself with the default downloader in
Firefox. Check this out:
