so at last you to have to resort to cablewallahs......:smiley-fart005:
Not exactly... Long story short, the thinking is more along the lines of it being a transitional product while we buy out & rearrange/rebuild/rewire their networks/replace equipment.
Why would we do this? In short, buying a network allows us immediate coverage and the ability to generate revenue from those areas from day-1. On the other hand, building out an area in full could take months.
So by buying out a network, not only do we have immediate coverage of the area, we can then over a period of several months tidy it up and replace components as manpower allows us to, and also, maintenance becomes our responsibility. As such, we can determine where the trouble-spots are and fix them sooner, thereby improving coverage for that set of customers.
On the other hand, while using a cablewala would *technically* be an option to anyone almost anywhere (in Mumbai, at least, maybe other cities too), we would only be able to deliver 100mbit/s service on most of those networks, and we could not guarantee any quality of service. If it goes down, it goes down and it has nothing to do with us.
The problem from our side is that *we* would almost certainly be the ones who end up getting the blame for the outage, moreover, it would probably lead in some cases to that whole "blame-game" that tends to go on - they say we're down, we say they're down and still nobody is willing to fix anything. Some people may be prepared to deal with that, but they shouldn't have to, and we pretty much wouldn't want them to.

Yes, although we're looking at adding a product between Hayai Lite and FTTH.
What sort of speed can one expect from the data plans - i.e. is 'upto 1 Gbit/s' likely to be upwards of 100 Mbit/s on average, and what is the expected lower end of the range?

Completely 100% subject to network conditions and whatever is available at the other end. You're unlikely to receive even 100mbit/s downloading from most websites because most of them throttle on a per-connection basis (which is why download managers download 4+ separate parts of the file simultaneously and then rebuild it as one once it has all the data).
Likewise, with BitTorrent, my experience is that in most cases the download will have actually finished by the time it hits even 50mbit/s constant transfer-rate, however as always YMMV and will depend -among other things - on what trackers are in use and what other people have and how your client is configured (how many connections it allows and so on).
The important thing about "up to 1Gbit/s" is not the number "up to 1Gbit/s" itself, it's more of an indicator that we are not restricting your speed in any way, shape or form. The only thing limiting you is the current generation of technology.
What 1Gbit/s will allow you to do more than anything else is the ability to do many things simultaneously - so you can have downloads going on one PC whilst someone is on their PlayStation doing a bit of gaming while someone else is watching Youtube in HD, all without affecting each other because they'll only be using say ~100mbit/s each.

I'm not even going to answer you from now on unless you have an actual question.

Does that mean that you'll be able to deploy Hayai in other cities than Mumbai faster on basis of providing high speed broadband (upto 100 mbps) on existing copper infrastructure?

I asked a simple question in this one as YOu talkjed about the registration form is it available yet ? As you have mentioned it so elaborately I think its somewhere out there, Can we fill it as of NOW! There.
