256 k is seriously not an broadband, a broadband should have atleast 1 mbps speeds.
256 k comes under
adsl category. infact dsl category.
What? ADSL can handle up to 8mbit/s (1mbit/s up) or 24mbit/s (3.5mbit/s up)... various other DSLs handle up to 100mbit/s and they've recently released a type of DSL which does something like 700mbit/s.
What you probably mean is that it should be considered NARROWBAND.
Now i am thinking what to do with my hathway which is on hold, should i just burn the modem, do experimenting, activate it again, or wait for HAYAI to come.
But that also depends if i'll be outside INDIA then u miss 1 valuable customer "sach92" mg.
Um. Yeah. Which plan do you plan to go on?
Mumbai users can opt for fivenet till then with 1k(approx) for UP TO 10MBPS.
But wait... From your posts in the Fivenet thread, you say it disconnects often and others are saying they get nowhere near 10mbit/s - some in Navi Mumbai are saying they get 200kbit/s (or kbytes? the posts weren't clear).
Although I admire Fivenet's gall with having this plan, I have to wonder that if they don't have such a stable network, perhaps some other provider is more suitable - maybe Reliance is OK (if anyone other than Sach92 cares to comment) or maybe Spectranet.
