Hey NU users, stop "protesting" for 2Mbps
Do you really think that MTNL will all of a sudden increase the speeds from 256kBps to 2mBps??
I don't think so!
First of all we should protest for what we actually have a right to have- 256kBps!
I know this may sound lame, but I can say for myself that NU doesn't even properly get 256 kBps (My download speed varies from 25-27 kbps, sometimes goes as high as 29-30, but never even touched 31-32)
TRAI regulations clearly state that-
1.0 Broadband connectivity:
Keeping in view the present status, Broadband connectivity is defined at present as
“An ‘always-on' data connection that is able to support interactive services including Internet access and has the capability of the minimum download speed of 256 kilo bits per second (kbps) to an individual subscriber from the Point Of Presence (POP) of the service provider intending to provide Broadband service where multiple such individual Broadband connections are aggregated and the subscriber is able to access these interactive services including the Internet through this POP. The interactive services will exclude any services for which a separate licence is specifically required, for example, real-time voice transmission, except to the extent that it is presently permitted under ISP licence with Internet Telephony.”
TRAI :::::::
Then, why in the hell are we paying so much for "broadband" services when we don't even get even 256 kbps??
I know everyone in this forum put their ass on the line to try to persuade Dayanidhi Maran by mailing him or whatever.....But, I think we should start pressurizing this new Telecom minister from the starting only.....who knows.....maybe he would budge sooner??
And, we should make our demands step by step nd not make highly unpragmatic demands!
