Hey Ajmat,

You wouldnt happen to have a wi-fi network set up at home would you?
That too an unencrypted one?

wel i got my cable mordem installed for 7500 !!
and 500buks per month..unlimited browsing and download cap of 2GB.FREE download frm 23hrs to 7 in the morning
its a 512 kbps line and i get speed of abt 50-60 kb/sec at nit in bittorrent.

Damn...Bandwidth prices are still unrealistically high in India. It is comparitively slow as well...

I'm in Germany currently and get a peak download speed from good servers like Akamai at around 3 MegaBytes (not Bits) per second.

Torrents with good number of seeds give roughly 500-600 kilobytes per second speeds.

I live in an apartment where the only Internet expense is a one time payment of 20 euros (~1000Rs INR). No monthly rentals, no extra download charges... nothing...

The only problem is I have a download limit of 5 GB/day. Upload cap is a funny 512 MB/Day. After that limit, the download is capped at 60KiloBytes/Sec till midnight.

I'm moving back to India in 2-3 months time so i better grab all my TopGear torrents before that...

Things always work fine for you whether it is car service or internet access billing

A follow up

Stripped out the peer to peer software - despite my wife working on the machine all day and my working via wireless in the evening - bill is now Rs 2500 - however I miss out on those Top Gear episodes !!!!

merve_extreme · 5th September 2005, 23:38

i dont know which service it is but i have a 64kbps unlimited plan for Rs 550/month.

tsk1979 · 6th September 2005, 12:31

So you dropped the plan to get another service provider?
For your TG episodes etc., it will be good to get a 384kbps plan with night free. So daytime normal surfing and night unlimited peer to peer!

Is there any way of finding that out, online? Don't wanna end up with a similar or higher bill. I'll be dead if that happens.

Shan2nu,

You can check your DSL usage @ http://south.touchtelindia.net/
Use your DSL username and password. I have been using this for quite some time.

I already have a BSNL Corporate connection ... for surfing - 2 mbps (3 GB@ Rs. 700 per month)
Am now getting a BSNL Home Unlimited Connection .... for downloads - 256 kbps (Unlimited @ Rs. 500 per month)

All tensions solved @ Rs. 1200 per month...

and no... Airtel does not give connections in my area!
