Ok confirmed it from my hotwire dude, he said he won't be taking the 512kbps unlimited plan because it will cost very much and most people aren't able to afford it. However, there is an unlimited 512 plan but I doubt most cto's would accept that as it would create a lot of expenditure for them. Slk, there is no noticeable difference man, I am right now on the 128kbps plan and it feels like I'm still on 96kbps. Anyway, I'll be switching to Airtel soon. Will see how their services are.

i wonder what the cto-side machinations are, for the cto's to 'equip themselves' for customers choosing plans like the 512k unltd. and 512k-with-affordable-tariff might only have been possible had trai's 1st may deadline on tariff reductions not been spiked by choo-mofo vsnl.... OOOOOF.anyway, i've gotten bumped down, from the 96k to "apollo" i.e. 64k, but, strangely, am experiencing 96k performance. oh well, with hotwire, one can never tell...
You people don't download much do you?How can you not see the difference between.. every kb of speed!!My monthly usage is in BIG GBs.. so if I get a 128 over 96 .. there is almost a 7 GB difference!.... that is quite noticable! 
BTW.. I have the "Vega" but still works at 96.... some problem.. from hotwire's side. Will get to them as soon as i get some time!.

btw, slk, do you use bittorrent? just wondering... have you experienced extreme torrent slowdown, say, at about 98 or 99%, when the transfer rate drops to 0, and little packets of 16k come across only once in a while? it cansometimes take hours to finish a download when it runs into this kind of trouble :-(

Thats not cos of your ISP or internet.. it usually happens when you dont have enough Seeders to that Bit torrent file.. its tends to go slow..

yeah, found that mentioned in a faq i came across today... am on torrentstorm 1.3... it lists 11 seeds and 6 leeches, but am being snubbed by all... oof :-( well, it'll happen, when it happens. no movement past 99.61% for two hours now :-(
yes it always happens.... the last bit is too slow. I use Shareaza. Its the way these things always work..... even one of my friend confirms that!I guess the objective is to make u share the file as long as possible. B'coz our download is 99+% complete we act as a good source for others.
the hotwire guy (CTO)in my area(vaishali,ghaziabad) has starting providing both hotwire and sify using the same line for the last two weeks .Looks like there is indeed some trouble with hotwire.He justifies this by saying that due to competition net tarriffs are falling day by day so he wants his users to get the best of both worlds ,without paying anything extra for new installation .
