Three-in-one `Broadband Multiplay'




MADURAI: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is all set to introduce some of its next generation Internet services.
The new scheme titled `Broadband Multiplay' will have voice, video and Internet protocol television (IPTV) services in one package. While at present the connectivity speed of BSNL broadband connection is two megabits per second (MBPS), the new technology will enable connectivity at a speed of eight MBPS.
The IPTV service will enable access to content providers who will offer "content on demand." A `set top box,' either on a rental basis or outright purchase, will be provided to consumers to access this facility.
To be launched in 789 cities all over the country shortly, the requisite infrastructure was being put in place, a senior official said here on Monday. The feasibility study of the project had been completed and the equipment was being delivered to the sites for installation.
Madurai would be the base for the services offered in and around the city. It would be provided based on parameters such as density of customers in the vicinity of BSNL telephone exchanges and number of `Bfone' subscribers. In the initial stage, the project would be implemented using copper wires. A new futuristic technology, `Fibre to the home,' was in the final stage of technical valuation, the official said and expressed the hope that it would be implemented by the year-end.

Hopefully, they will throw the newly outdated 2 Mbps connections our way once they launch the 8 Mbps connections for the capped plans.

we said

So?. What are the plans?. 400 MB permonth Rs.200?. Haha. Unless they provide Unlimited connection iam not going to dream of this.

[navjotjsingh]

Nope...plans are 1MB for Rs 1000. In India broadband condition has worsened with high speed plans. Why doesn't these companies support downloaders like us!!

Because they dont want to waste money for the downloaders because they take lot of bandwidth and usage. They just want to take money.

[Sukhdeep Singh]

Well, i think we should think positive guys. This is how technology comes in India. Remember what Mobile rates used to be few yrs back. See what they are now.

Same thing will happen to Broadband, before you know it it.....we will be one of the best if the not the best

The Point is....first the infrastructure is setup, then one Govt rule and policy and prices are down to earth

True about sify. I faces that so many times. Sify is so unreliable and the funny thing is that their profits are increasing. I wonder how.

[navjotjsingh]

Maybe because in Sify problem of troubleshooting is not much. One doesn't deal with Sify for connection problems. We can call our cable guy any time of day to get errors fixed even on Sundays or late night like 8PM. This convienience can't be found for any other type of net. This is one plus point of Sify and other cable connections.

Bro! I was talking about the "GOVT Owned ISP" since this thread talks about a GOVT Owned ISP so dont really care about what airtel gives you.

[aryayush]

Yeah, I have "a TRUE UNLIMITED 256k Connection" from BSNL. I always get speeds of around 30-35 KBps.
