Re: Government directs all private ISPs to provide broadband at 2 MBPS
year of broadband 
when Govt. own BSNL is giving capped / low 256kbps unlimited plans then private compnies are following the same way.
wth they can't start new trend or start new competition among them by starting even upto 2 mbps with unlimited plans .
is the dumb TRAI or Mr. Moron listening , naah I don't think so

Re: Government directs all private ISPs to provide broadband at 2 MBPS
I hope Tata Indicom also provides 2MBPS uncapped connection at existing 256kbps rates. In that case, the cost of 512kbps/1Mbps uncapped connection will be lower and I can break free from the clutch of BSNL.

He did not say 2 M Bps. He wants them to give a constant speed of 2 Mbps, not ' upto 2 Mbps'.

Re: Government directs all private ISPs to provide broadband at 2 MBPS
if they start giving 2Mbps like bsnl is giving me now (my speed has gone from 32KB/s to something like 15KB/s) then I'd rather choose to hibernate in this "year of broadband"...

Re: Government directs all private ISPs to provide broadband at 2 MBPS
===================================
Upto 1/2 mbps with data limit
=================================
Exact : 64/128/256/512 kbps with unlimited data usage
================================
Best option is unlimited data usage.
why ?
1. Dont worry of data limit. no tension of extra amount... 
2. Good sleep... (why 2 to 8 night time)
3. No worry if site contains ads or flash animations...it cosumes more data..
4. No virus/tojan problem. suppose if u get something virus type file, then it may be eat ur more data-bandwidth.... u cant rely for security on any anti virus/isp compnay if virus/tojan is new..
5. u cant get exact speed in " Upto .. kbps/mbps ". Depends on server load. if u get less speed, than u cant argue against ISP..b/s they write "Upto ..."
6. more u surf, more u get information.. try to download much...
7. u dont have to check ur a/c status everyday... 
8. u get both advantages in unlimited plan http+torrent download/upload...
9. all soft,music,movies,ebooks,videos..warez..now available on net...u can get if u know how to search... needs more surfing time...
10. if ur a/c used by any applications or other user in data limit plan..
it is possible to get user/pw of isp a/c... 
some observations of mine...

Re: Government directs all private ISPs to provide broadband at 2 MBPS

I m on 900UL plan. As they upgraded the other plans, High ping problem arises.

I second all the above. I can browse ANYTIME of the day or night ON MY TERMS, at a constant speed of 256 kpbs, without worrying about excess billing
