i knw when i was visiting europe and could taste speed upto 25 Mbps...cud believe india is so back in ages....to give this amount of speed....
I had the same problem. That's why I started Hayai.

That's mainly because it is a smaller country, smaller countries tend to have faster speeds 
Why would it be easier to wire up Karachi as opposed to New Delhi or Mumbai, Tokyo or New York? All these cities have populations of 10 million+
Why would it be easier to connect Pakistan to the internet when it has basically the same neighbours as India and connects to the same international cables?
China and Russia both have internet speeds faster than India. So does Australia, and it only has a tiny fraction of the population and is much more sparsely populated and it's in the middle of the ocean and there are fewer cables (from memory) and access to those cables is wildly expensive. And even though the population may be less, there are probably just as many broadband users as india (around 8 million).
You're from Chennai - a city where there there is at least 15 Tbit/s of capacity landing that I can think of - roughly 5 of which is directly owned by Tata and a further ~3 of which they own as part of their consortiums... and yet all you get is 80 kbit/s.
Sorry man, but swing and a miss.

no its not,that way many African countries will be ahead of US

Not sure where you learned geography, but most African countries are smaller than the US.
I think what you meant was that many will be coming up ahead of the US because they are developing and they are developing with all new (and some very creative) technologies for distributing the Internet. No copper infrastructure in most places so no ADSL or Cable... lots and lots of wireless. And 3G. And still more wirelesseseses.
If only they can take the away the dependance of SEACOM on SMW4, Africa will see a much more stable internet. It's not just Bharti that's investing in Africa - Tata is too - a lot. In 2008, Africa had about 0.4Tbit/s of landed capacity. It now has over 1.5Tbit/s, which will grow to 3Tbit/s I think later in this year (India alone is now pushing the 20Tbit/s capacity envelope).
Speaking of which, I am in the possession of some very interesting powerpoint presentations bearing Tata logos concerning their consumer offerings from about 18 months ago - basically they want to switch everyone over to Wireless modes of service.
As it also turns out, SMW4 with it's capacity of 1.28Tbit/s - only about 35% capacity is lit. If I had a spare 70+ million dollars per year (assuming a reasonable discount), I'd buy 100+ Gbit/s just for Hayai.

@ mgcarley, I think what solid_snake4rd meant was that if one goes by The-Lord's logic then many African countries, being smaller than the US, would have faster internet, which is not the case. So basically a country's size shouldn't affect its internet speeds, I think that is what he actually meant.

Some African countries are catching up to and indeed are placed to surpass at least some US states in terms of average speeds.

lolz. Mysore/Maisuru... It's not English really... I would imagine those words are Konkani or one of the other languages in Karnataka. Sometimes I also forget to make the Bangalore/Bengaluru and Baroda/Varodara connections too
