that decision can come really handy if you migrate to Windows Phone powered device. or when you would switch to Windows 8. both feature Skydrive connectivity. as for me, i am hoping for better connectivity between my android phone and google docs (soon to renamed google drive) in the future. google plus mobile app is already offering syncing of photos with google plus so that comes real handy.
...what will happen when you get 20+? 
Lol, id probably be searching for "Free Download" on google and infest my PC.

you wont be allowed to Host Game Servers on a Residential Connection. Should Directly Buy an Leased line.
I meant a non-dedicated server when me and my friends decide to play.. considering my school pressure, it will prolly be an hour a weak. But currently with my connection, im getting latencies around 100 for connections within my city.. hopefully that would improve.

I used to do that back in the dialup days. Of course, apps were much smaller then, and video streaming online... but a dream!

Depends on the ISP and how we're connected to them - and the connection the other user is on. Some ISPs I get

Message received today by PM:
Hey there,
I was the one who kept nitpicking about the cost per GB in the pricing thread.*
And yeah, I am not a casual user - I know exactly what I have to download, and there is tons of that waiting.*
But paradoxically, there is a final (life-time) limit - I am not going to be downloading forever. Once I have reached a certain number of movies and TV serials (no I dont listen to music at all) - then I am calling it quits.
...
So I wont be subscribing to you, until the cost falls to 5 bucks per GB. After which, yes I have maybe 20 TB of data to download in the short term. Eventually my cap (for life) will be about 120 TB. Then I am out of the downloading scene forever
I'll keep my fingers crossed that such a price will come after another year, maybe early 2013? *If there was something such as an unofficial rate of 5 bucks per GB provided that I commit to paying for say 1-2 TB at a time, I would go for it. But I guess I have to wait.
Maybe it will, maybe it won't happen by 2013. Even I don't have the answer to that question.
One way or the other, you won't download all in 1 or 2 months - especially considering you'll also need to purchase 60 hard drives as well - which puts you at 1 a month for 5 years, but to even fill that up you'd need at least an 8mbit/s constant bit rate, 24x7 for that duration.
We have flat-rate plans - the only thing we ask is that you don't go overboard on the data transfer. The numbers we have published are safe numbers only, whereas 2TB per month would be, by the standard of any ISP anywhere in the world, going overboard. FUPs may go up or they may remain static. But under no circumstance can I guarantee you that the price will fall or equate to Rs5/GB at any time - even ever - as much as I'd like to see the same. Only time will tell.
Subscribe, don't subscribe, that's up to you, but for 120TB of content, we're your best bet as of now - unless you'd rather wait 17+ years for it all to download (if you paid the Rs5k for an MTNL 2mbit/s unlimited connection, of course). And let's not forget your power bill
(Then I sent another message separately...)
Having read the last line again, I'd have to talk to the financial department and see if we could reduce the price any further for large bandwidth commitments. Will try, but I can't guarantee anything.
----------
I guess it should also be pointed out that getting content at high speeds requires other people around India and indeed the rest of the world also to have high-speed. In India at least we could be looking at HZ transfers, but if it's all worldwide content, then who can say?
Unfortunately, it's messages like this that put me in a small dilemma: is Hayai obliged to assist customers in essentially pirating content (the most likely situation here as I've read it - there hasn't been mention of how the content will be delivered, legal or not) by reducing the price, or giving a special deal because of the amount he wants to download as this person has requested and as I have mentioned I would see about doing? We may only be the conduit through which content is delivered to you, but still.

Probably somewhere between 150 and 300ms as that IP address is somewhere in the US and not relevant to the conversation.
Outside of India, it's unlikely to be significantly different to any existing connection (save for what we *can* improve on) due to those damned laws of physics and due to the fact that it's completely out of my control (it's not my network) - we simply cannot expect anything like a 70ms ping time to the US because of the distance, even if I can get on to Airtel's or Tata's or Reliance's global networks in 2 or 3ms, so, at the moment I'm only concerned with IPs actually in India.
