No it's not that good. It's just the initial trial and not many persons are using this service. The service is available only in area around India Gate and Rajghat where only a few buildings are there so signals must be very strong and congestion is not that high. If in such a small area speed is 1mpbs, then users won't be getting more than 512kbps once it is made available in whole Delhi

that's great then...btw which companies does it include

Only MTNL has launched 3G service and that too in a limited area in Delhi. BSNL will launch it in Chennai. Auction for private companies to get 3G spectrum on Jan 15. And only four(+BSNL/MTNL) companies(at most) will be getting that spectrum in each circle.

“The customers will have to buy a separate SIM card for 3G services. Existing customers will be able to retain their number,” said an MTNL official.
Now this is new :?

India has postponed the auction of its 3G spectrum from an original date of January 16th to the 30th, following requests from potential bidders to have more time to review related documents and rules. At the same time, the deadline for applications to become a bidder has been extended from the 5th to the 15th. The auction will give domestic and foreign companies the option to acquire the 2.1GHz wireless frequency, used for HSPA-based 3G data network services.................
