Trai to soon fix minimum internet speed for mobiles

I wish they could also fix the rates.

"The Authority (Trai) has been receiving a number of complaints from consumers regarding the poor download speed experienced by them. The Authority after examining the issue felt that there is now a need to mandate the 'minimum download speed' for the wireless data services," Trai said in its latest consultation process.

I quote
"The regulator is of the view that the minimum download speed for 3G and CDMA EVDO service should be 1 megabit per second with 95% success rate. For GSM and CDMA 2G the minimum speed should be at 56 kilobit per second and for CDMA high speed data it is 512 kbps.

Trai has sought public views on its consultation by May 5 and counter comments on it by May 12"

For all types of Internet (BB, 4G, 3G, 2G, CDMA, GPRS, etc), the post FUP speed should not be less than 25% of the advertised main speed.
And a minimum 95% hit rate of the advertised/post-FUP speeds at all times.

Wow trai wow
Wireless broadband aka 3G - minimum 1mbps
Wireline broadband - minimum 512kbps

What a shame

 

[volcano619]

25% would be too much...like Vodafone would have to give 7Mbps post FUP...lol
21Mbps bandwidth....I suppose 2Mbps would also work...For this to happen current infrastructure is BS
they would have to deploy towers every 9-10Kms or so..

 

[chaibiskutbhai]

If they advertise 21mbps, they better give atleast 5mbps after the 1 or 2gb data at advertised speeds.

1mbps for mobile broadband? Dream on folks.
Now, why the heck would they implement a minimum of 1mbps for mobile connections when a wired broadband connection (which is superior in all ways) is set at 512kbps? I wouldn't be surprised if the minimum speed is set as 256kbps for both 3g/4g/whatever(g) and 25kbps for 2g.
