Attainable rate is 14628 kbps downstream. I actually mentioned that to Airtel and persuaded them to give me 8mbps. The guy who spoke to me kept saying the same thing like a broken record. The bottomline is they can't give me 8mbps. I'd get a disconnection as a protest if only I had an alternative here.
That's just glorified VOIP. If there is a problem in the backbone, you are screwed.
LOL! But for now, we can only speculate if that's how they're going to do it.

Then they're just trying to be safe. Persistence, I think, is the order of the day. Try to contact their technical team, if you can & find out what they say.

asked these three questions. i would get the answers for the first two on monday. the third question? answer was confusing. i have no idea how they are going to deliver landline phones on ftth because from what i understand fiber does not support landline... you need copper for that.
Not entirely accurate. FTTH supports landlines just fine. The phone just has go be plugged in to an ATA (usually included in the same modem that your PC connects to) which connects to what is essentially a VOIP backend.
At least that's how it works everywhere else in the world, but in India, the current regulations do not permit such an arrangement (citing security concerns, which, btw, is utter arse because VOIP lines are way easier for the gov't to tap in to).
Which is why Mukesh and Co. (probably including Mr Mittal and the other Mr Ambani and Mr Tata, among others) have gone ahead and had the regulations changed.

Wait a sec people who are in Bsnl fiber here in my nearest apartment they have landline with weird starting numbers 20******
Now how are they providing Voip ?

BSNL and MTNL generally get a headstart when something is going to happen - I guess so that feasibility and stuff can be ascertained. They got it with 3G too and were providing service 2 years before any spectrum was allocated.

voip?Voice over internet protocol right?That's used in skype and other things like that.Didn't know it's a mode of providing/using internet.
Wrong way around: VOIP isn't a way of providing Internet, but rather of providing voice services over the Internet.
