"well, I am sure that at least some of the readers of this thread felt the need to do something concrete rather than just communicating between like minded people. and that is a good enough point, dont u think so?"
Which is my point exactly - is there something concrete you want to do with this thread, or is it just aimless ranting (or as you put it "communicating between like minded people") ???
"I am forced to think that u are a happy fella who is immensely satisfied with the governments prehistoric class internet facility offered to about a country with a billion people. All the best!"
Thanks for your best wishes, but neither am I a happy fella, nor am I satisfied with internet speeds. (Though 512kbps is sufficient for most of my purposes). Maybe my skepticism has got to do with the fact that I have been on this forum a long time, or that I understand that more and more of the newer members have some misguided sense that complaining / ranting on this forum somehow solves India's broadband problems. This is a forum not a feedback form for ISPs. What you post here doesn't get into Sunil Mittal's inbox.
So to get more specific, will this thread help get us better speeds?
