It's still a developing country with a disorganized government and problems like poverty.But, I don't think it's the worst broadband conditions.Funny thing, just do a google search with "worst broadband conditions world" and see the third result.
 
Yup! Broadband is cheaper across the border.You'll see that their score is better than most of our cities in speedtest.
 
DUDE WHERE are you living ? :D

World's fastest internet connection 'used to dry laundry' - The Local

With her blistering 40 gigabits per second connection, Sigbritt Löthberg had the world's fastest internet connection - many thousands of times faster than the average residential link and the first time ever that a home user had experienced such a high speed.

Man this news has been around since I was living in Finland. It's easy to stick a 40gbit/s or even 100gbit/s pipe in to someone's house, but them being able to use it (well, anything more than 1Gbit/s) would be an entirely different matter.

I was talking about the KENYA! and 4mbps DSL connection in Pakistan for Welcome to PTCL 1999 Paki Rupee?? that cheap????

The Kenyans have been quite innovative about Internet Access over the last 5 years - there's dozens of WISPs and such dotted all over the place.

The other great thing about PCTL is that they have unbundled the local loop so it's easy to provide access to pretty much any (connected) home in Pakistan, and they've got a partially developed FTTH grid too.

In India the local loop unbundling is not possible? Can u please elaborate this i have a bit idea about loop.

It's possible, it just keeps getting vetoed by your wonderful government telcos. Apparently their infrastructure is so fantastic and not in need of any upgrades and they don't need any additional revenue streams or something.
 
I just want to share an incident that happened yesterday.My brother works in singapore and he and his friend(National of Singapore) came to our house.I was downloading a TV series.His friend asked me whether i use torrents. I replied him that who doesn't. He was shocked by the broadband plans we have here in india(limited data plans). He said there in singapore he was on a 1Gbit/s line from a M1(ISP). He added that they neither throttle speed nor their plans are limited. There the definition of broadband is: unlimited usage without these FUP'sP.S: 1Gbit/s has been in Singapore since 2009 ending!!!
 
Apart from Singapore having it's own issues (mostly related to the legalities), I would agree that it's pretty good. I've personally enjoyed proper high-speed broadband in a number of countries, which is half the reason I'm doing what I'm doing.
