Default Re: India warned to boost internet

2Mbps is a must, but the rates are very high keeping in mind the scenario in our country.
Why so much speed?? Is it good to keep the PC on for 12 hrs to download on 256kbps connection or 3 hrs on 2Mbps connection. I am assuming the speed has increased 8 times, but download speed 4 times for various factors involved.

So downloading at the night unlimited time will save a lot of electricity, unless you are downloading the entire thing on your cell-phone connected to charger, which will use very less electricity. Why this point, coz it important to save resources in developing countries like ours.
