If it is true the crap download limit should be 200GB+ any think less is just a crap Plus a good cheap price

Rumour: BSNL is going to provide 8 Mbps in 2009
Fact: It is going to come with a 400 MB bandwidth cap.

200GB cap?!...Why should there be caps? It is almost same as unlimited.

1MBps @ 750 is not a bad wish I guess..atleast they must plan for to offer 512Kbps UL at the cost of 256kbps UL.

Dec 8, 2008 at 11:50 PM
the maximum that i got till date is 300 kBps. i dont think they'll increase speed so soon to 8 MBps,
theres also a poll in the source, so its not confirmed...

theres one thing thats hard to understand, why are they putting so much bandwidth limit when they have so much bandwidth to give away.... i mean 8mbps 1gb thats like gonna last for 40 minutes.. this is what sucks about indian isps.

First give us a 2Mbps unlimited plan at reasonable rates and then start talking about this 8Mbps sh1t.
I've been hearing this bullsh1t for two years now but no implementation as yet. Indian ISPs suck hard! I am paying freakin' 2222 Bux for a 1Mbps unlimited plan from Airtel.
Speeds,uptime and CC are unmatched but look at the price. It burns a big hole in your pocket. Better stick with 2Mbps NU if you're on BSNL/MTNL or run away to Sweden or Germany.

Go to the source, there you can see the images posted by the guy. You will have to register in order to see those since it is a forum, or else you can always rely on bugmenot.com :)

Get this, we arent even getting a full 2 mbps yet, and now, 8 mbps? sheesh...

and one more thing, 8 mbps unlimited already exists, 15000 per month. With BSNL. Yeah.

BSNL never launched this before the other isp providers launch 8mbps speed bcz
BSNL senior offices takes money frm other isp providers so tht they dont launch good scheme even though they have the power to do that

It is not wrng thing ,it is true........
CORRUPTION............:(:(:(:(:(:(:evil::evil::evil::evil::evil:

take the e.g of 3G spectrum BSNL got spectrum in the august
but even though so many centre govt. interference they dont even launch till date

What a rumour! Might as well post it in the Create a rumour for 2009 thread. Instead of providing humans with faster speeds, they should provide cheaper bandwidth! That should be a priority for BSNL.

I agree totally,
U didnt mention the sell of 2G spectrum at throwaway prices to some companies, which further sold it to foreign country providers at a huge price,
thousands of crores of our lost,

I remember Mr Maran Gave us @2MBPS, I was using Dataone for 2.5 yrsat that time and it was a pleasant shock for me,
Wish he continued as our telecom minister[Note: i m from gujarat and i even dont know which party he belonged to, SO NOT going political here]

Hi,This is true that BSNL is offering such speed in 2009. I am from Rajasthan, and they had started testing connection in my city for institute, organizatins and corporates. Actually, they are replacing copper wire with Fibre optic cable to your home, so you will get that on the very same package whcih you are using.If any one want detail, I will put the copy of newspaper. Be HAPPY:).They have started IPTV in Rajasthan, now they will offer this to us.

Here copper wire cuts are fixed in 15 days, dunno what will happen when fibre optic wires will be cut by construction workers. It will take 2 months to repair...lol :D:rolleyes:

In which part of Rajasthan you live?
Because i am still struggling with copper wires.And IPTV service from BSNL is provided by Aksh. Still the service is not up the mark, atleast its not robust like DTH.

The transmission freezes randomly many times
