I think it was renamed from a thread called something like "2009 and we're still stuck at 256kbps", wasn't it? There is, possibly ironically, a thread with a similar title - "2010 and we're still stuck at 256kbps"
Maybe it should be "why" it began, not "how"... I don't know.
It does not matter whether Hayai's service has begun here or not. It implies that the thread tells us the inside story about how/why Matt decided to set up the business here. Atleast that is what I can reasonably infer from the thread title.
Just FTR, if you *really* want to know, I think that information can be found at Exclusive Interview: Mathew Carley, Hayai Broadband - HarryJerry

LOLzes... You have me on Twitter, Gtalk and probably several other channels already... and you've probably read all of my posts on IBF - you could just about piece together an almost accurate life story if you tried

Hey I have no issue with the scope and coverage of this thread. Just saying that the content didn't match the title. I can understand a thread going off course over time but this one was off course from the first post if you look at the title.Anyway the mid-course title change explains why. Good enough for me.BTW I had already read the HJ interview before.
Its unbelievable to most of us that 100 Mbits would be there for asking. Have money, will get. It was in Bangalore when for the first time I had seen a 256kbps DSL line way back in 1998. I think it was Dishnet DSL and they had an exclusive outlet at the airport. I was hooked. BSNL had a monopoly on the dial up. With frequent disconnections and slow crawling access, Dishnet was a revelation. I repeat again. I was hooked. At that point in time, I started exploring the answers to a simple question. Why are we such laggards? It was much later in Hyderabad, when I explored Dishnet's connection but were charging astronomical amounts (I think it was 25k for the connection with about 10k per month for 128kbps (assured speeds)). Of course, we didnt go for this then but the cost break up and the reason for high charges became apparent. The reason why I am posting all this here is that whatever has been mentioned about Hayai here was back then nearly 12 years back and nothing seems to have changed except that I have grown older, this forum came in existence and a blog was created where I vent out like an idiot. Hence Hayai promises to be a game changer and you mgcarley is truly the knight in a bright shining armor. I am waiting for the roll out and trust me, it would need a huge change of mindset on behalf of people to accept those "speeds". Because a cheap uniform access for resources all over would truly unleash the ideas. And this is what they say in India (in Hindi), the all famous "jugaad" where people would find ways and means to adopt. Mobiles changed the equation and a huge disruption in our day to day lives. We need a true broadband revolution and kick the likes of Airtel and it's ilk in their "nuts". All the best 
Abhishek, I should hire you as my official "thorn in the side of the government & existing telcos... bloke"
Oh I am seeing this now... I don't come "expensive" either. Just a shiny bright fibre to my place; (5 Mbps is sufficient for the time being) and trust me, I'd be more than happy to be the "thorn" :thumb: OOOOOooohhh Tell me how do I apply officially???
