Airtel new 8 mbps plan

[yat]

I saw an ad today in delhi times about airtel 8 mb speed plan.....n in small font there was written"*speed indicated is only speed up to our ISP Node and is given on best effort basis as per TRAI guideline on quality of service for braodband service."I once read in an magazine about TRAI making it compulsory for isp's to provide minimum 512 kbps at cheaper rates like wat we pay for 128 kbps now. Is there anybody know more about it???

well trai just recommends that connections with minimum speeds of 256kbps can be named broadband.they cannot force any company to give connections at a particular speed for a particular cost. and most companies promise just around half of the speeds labeled in the package. trai requires them to provide at least 80% of the showcased speed on the package. and most companies only promise speeds from their own servers. which are located in close proximity to your city/house.

Yeah. Nobody has to go with what Trai says!

Is this true? I would like a source... And why would 512 kpbs be 1550 when it is already 1499? Or is that including tax?
