Hey.. seems like Azeem Premji's company will lead India to the next decade of internet connectivity. It is to offer broadband in India with speeds upto 100mbps and more.

arre who needs these speeds.. i would be more than happy if there were any cheap 256kbps unlimited plans available first.

MTNL offers 256kbps unlimited for Rs.2500 and 2Mbps NU at Rs. 850.. they should just shoot themselves for their stupidity.

It'll take another 2 years to introduce it all over the country. And then another 3 years for it to become affordable.

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream
I’ll cross the stream - I have a dream

Assuming that broadband actually hits these speeds, won't disk write rates become a bottleneck?

Modern SATA disks can write at a comfortable 60MBps+ so managing a 12MBps connection won't be a problem. Of course it will consume a lot of system resources writing at such speeds. Might need a separate hard drive just for this purpose.

We can arrange two similar HDD's and put them in RAID 0.. this would be ideal then

This is just a Dream, by another Deamer.

sometimes back, some promised FREE broadband.
on serious note, we may speeds like 8bps at affordable rates and Wimax being employed.

C'mon guys.. don't be so negative... remember the good ol' days back in the year 1999? when people were scared $hitless of the stupid Y2K bug and you had to run to the nearest Satyam seller to refill your 10hr dial up pack? Or.. wait... was it even later than 1999? lol
Now you have 2mbps (if your ISP spares you your peace of mind)!

some day.... perhaps... just some damn day...

ok is it going to be launched or just a announcement they are going to do ??

coz with 100 mbps .. many here ( who have hosting sites now ) can start hosting thier own servers from india.. instead of longing for US based servers...

i would simply like to see atleast 2mbps UL price going down around 500 Rs...

^ That would take about 5 Years atleast(Perhaps even more), given that how poor indian infrastructure is compared to US :(
Anyways lets hope positively and maybe we may be able to get this wipro 100mbps :razz:
