Either way you look at it,it's a rip off. For those who aren't aware of it. Still, it's for people to "sample" what Broadband is! This is official BSNL lingo. F*** em all. Well true Subash.

What happens to the remaining 99.94%???? If this business practice were to be followed by railways: Book a 2tier AC tkt from Bangalore to Bombay. After Sholapur, purchase tkt for the next station and get back to ur berth. Meanwhile, while u are away to purchase tks someone can occupy the berth. on a 24 hour journey, one gets to occupy his/her berth for .06% (=51 secs) even though he pays for the entire time of travel. pls correct me if I am wrong somewhere subhash looking at nos. encouraged me to do li’l more arithmetic.

My own surfing consumes 25-30 MB by just accessing medical journals (which have a huge files/images) and I ahven't felt brave really to push the limits. Yes, and this contention too...I would post this up asap.... Good observation. Frankly David, no one would run 24×7 but still the cost of the bandwidth is atrocious.

I wanted to reiterate a point here that I made at the forums under the nick thegenerousjew; which is that if we go by BSNL's tarrif charges, they're charging Rs 85000 a month for their 256 "Affordable" broadband connection. That's about a $1500+ a month. [100Mb an hour x 24 hours x 30 days = 72GB a month; 72000 MB x Rs 1.2 per MB = Rs 86000+] I think if this was actually mentioned on a news report etc. the psychological impact would be huge. Hi.
