TriplePlay offering 100mbps unlimited plan in Gurgaon for Rs. 2000

^Are 80% speeds to own server or what? All the time? At least I know international speeds are exempt and maximum contention is 1:50. It should be very difficult to get such high speeds continously at these costs then.

Q 4. What is the permissible minimum Broadband speed limit?
A. As per the regulation on “Quality of Service standards for Broadband Services” issued by TRAI on 6th May, 2006, a subscriber should get minimum 80% of the subscribed broadband connection speed from ISP Node to user.

In simple terms, if your ISP has a node on speedtest.net... you should always get 80% speeds to it at least.

of course, the isp can calibrate their network in such a way that you get 80% speeds to their own node and 50% outside. trai regulation i doubt has anything about this. on excitel, i easily get more than 80% speeds on speedtest servers (even the ones not operated by my isp) based in my city (gurgaon). on fast.net i barely get 20%.

also of course the regulations was made many years ago when we did not have speeds of more than 2/4mbps on any isp in india. 20% drop on a 2mbps connection is a lot more noticeable than 20% drop on a 100mbps line.

i have not seen anything about contention ratio on trai guidelines on speeds.

Just opted for the 100mbps truly unlimited plan, comes at a price of Rs. 3000. Will be a huge upgrade from my airtel connection that costs Rs. 3000(the same) for a measly 16mbps with a fup of 500gb. Keeping the airtel connection for now, let's see how things go with tripleplay.
