Internet prices around the world

I was used to doing that on a 32k line ie Browse+ftp, if you use a hosts list and ignore graphics.I meant what applications does this guy use that would need such a high bw rate. Sure its nice, things arive in seconds as opposed to minutes & hours. But seems high price to pay just for that.

look at his member title...he's mentioned it there!!!The Village Idiot :lol:just kidding!!!

 

[vishalrao]

yea, its sarcasm for me being stuck amongst village idiots 1mbps is the bare minimum for decent broadband experience... for example, installing linux over ftp, takes almost the whole day on my 512kbps, on 1 mbps should be bearable.just think, download the opensuse.org 5 CD ISOs... 3.5 GB will take you 3 days on a 128k connection... but half a day on a 1mbpslife will be better with 1 mbps

 

[coolbuddy_79]

well, like money, broadband is also never too much...the more u get u want to get more than that...

 

[blr_p]

err yeah.but how often are you gonna download a distro. certainly not every week ?Even if you were how many distros do u want to try out.1 month with 128k will get u 15-20GBs, thats what at least 20+CDs worth. It will take u a lot longer than thatn hat to figure them out completely+testing etc anyways.

hmm, yep, i guess i got the settle for low speeds and low download limits... low class broadband boohoo

 

[coolbuddy_79]

till there's more competition...i'm expecting that when reliance comes in picture...let's see...

Yep, even my uncle who lives in NJ pays a flat $20/month for a 3mbps connection. But, it's the US, they'll always have the best of everything....... *sigh* So no point comparing. Will just end up depressed.
