More realistic reason are the international B/w prices which are too high + non sense peering charges at NIXI + outrageous Right Of Ways charges/km for someone who wants to dig & lay its infrastructure etc. which all can be blamed to narrow minded governance & corruption both.But to say population/geography as an excuse for not having good broadband is not true at all. If that were the case than China & some others countries can never have better broadband than India but that is certainly not the case.

HAYAI is close to being a pure UNLIMITED, but till now none of the ISP's have given us pure UNLIMITED connection even RELIANCE was CLOSE but bcause of the login page.
REASON BEING THE POPULATION OF INDIA, and maybe the corrupted govt..
The main reason for this is that in India many things are built down to a price, and you get what you pay for.
Rs750 doesn't get you much bandwidth, so they stick you with 256kbit/s unlimited. And you take it, and they think you like it.
On the other hand, we're not building things down to a price.
Hayai is NOT "India's Cheapest Broadband", Hayai is "India's Fastest Broadband". The value for money that we'll end up providing is merely a bonus for our marketing team and for the customers that will eventually choose us.
The price per GB that we're proposing on data plans is not impossible for any of the large players to match - and I think when we do finally come to market, they're going to have to match us at least on the cost of data... it's time someone punched a big ol' hole in that cash cow.
Who knows, we might even prompt them to make their offerings better. I'd love for nothing more than for us to start a pissing contest on who can give the fastest speed rather than join the current one on who can have the lowest price.

...but many of these factors are still true. International bandwidth prices for smaller ISPs are too high. NIXI still has nonsensical peering charges. Right of Way is still outrageously expensive in many areas.
Yet we're continuing to find ways around it and deliver what I hope is an "A-1 toooo good top quality one hundred and ten percent" product.

Atleast that would change their retarded mentality of still billing in Mbs for broadband & in Kbs for Gprs.

As you always say, the ISPs make pure profiteering.
Nobody can help it unless they too decide to provide quality broadband.
Well, 1 paise per MB works out to around 10 rupees per GB, so that would be acceptable no?
And yeah, that's what I meant by the whole pissing contest bit

Everybody knows you'll be the winner. No isp in India has 150 mbps except one
Hey mgcarley add 150 mbps speed tests to the speedtest results
and also some business speed tests

When I'm on the network I will do that.
There's only one problem: even my new-ish laptop only has fast ethernet so I'm gonna have to find a computer (laptop or desktop) that's got at least gigabit to give such results (I'm envying a new HP Envy anyway so... maybe that can be it's first performance test).
And by "business speed tests" I assume you mean like, 1Gbit/s to a speedtest.net server (and/or downloading some random file from some website)?

Of course, the business users should be able to see what they'll get.

Let him launch first and then request him for the speed tests.:grin::grin::grin:
Moreover I think it is foolish to ask(request) an ISP for a speed test. I think speed tests are for users to test and not ISP's.:grin:
I think mgcarley will also agree to it.:wink:
