Now, download a movie in 30 minutes

By SiliconIndia,Sunday, 05 April 2009, 20:29 Hrs
New Delhi: Bharti Airtel, India's one of the leading telecom providers has come up with its new high speed broadband services which offer a speed of 16 Mega Bits Per Second (Mbps) that is twice that of the current highest speed available for the retail segment anywhere in the country. The new service enables the consumers to download a 4GB high-definition movie within 30 minutes compared with more than 12 hours that a 256 Kbps connection takes, reported BusinessLine.

Airtel has now launched the service based on optic-based DSL technology in Delhi and planning to launch the same in Chennai and Bangalore soon. The average broadband speed in India is 256 Kbps currently, while in countries such as France and Korea, this is in excess of 16 Mbps.

The new service comes at a premium. For those in New Delhi, the monthly charges are Rs 2,999, with up to 20 GB of download, in addition to modem and installation charges of Rs 850. Subscribers in Gurgaon will have to pay Rs 4,999 for up to 50 GB of download.

"Broadband has an extremely high potential of growth not just from the possible conversions of dial-up connections, but also in the expansion of internet homes," said R. Chandrasekar, Head (Brand and Media), Bharti Airtel.

1: What ever they introduce is ok but not commited bandwidth.
They say its 16mb but it gives only 512kbps. Another point to be noted Bharti Airtel Ltd is company which does major fraud in billing.

2: I completely agree with Abhishek. I have a Reliance broad-band data card and my experience with billing, service, etc is the same. They charge current month\'s rent, next month\'s in advance and if you change in between, they charge you the new amount, with no adjustment of the \'advance\' rent.

3: It seems to be good . Now Delhi is one step ahead from Mumbai.
The corporate competitors should think about why internet services are so much poor in mumbai. specially in Reliance Wireless connection

4: Ya I agree with what abishek has posted , providing Speeds of 8 Mbps -- 16 Mbps is gr8 , but the amount of download limit they give horrible & totally ridiculous . Whatz the use of speed when the download bandwidth is set to such poor standards .

5: Why is Mumbai NEVER second after Delhi to receive services, be it 3G or otherwise?

Anyway, it's good to know what our competitors are up to so that we can do better - we are planning such revolutionary service in Mumbai.

First we are planning wireless access to exceed 3.1Mbits and have higher data allowance compared to offerings by Reliance/Tata etc, now it looks like we may have to try either DSL or some kind of even faster wireless tech: 4G or something like that.

Currently I am suffering with GPRS @ 144kbps, having moved from Finland where I had 24mbits (and later 100mbits).

6: We are still behind the world far far away..Japan and South Korea has a average speed of 50 MBPS....I hope our policy makers and Service providers are working towards decreasing the cost and increasing the Speed for general consumers...

7: Great, thx for the techs who worked for this. If it continues then terabyte and petabytes is no matters then we can able to download the smae 4 GB movie in 10 min. Great job guys.
Posted by: siva - 05 Apr, 2009

8: I understand from the above that I can download a 4GB movie in 30 mins. and then these so called broadband providers have a 20GB cap which means i'll expire my download limit in 2.5 hours? Now is this is a joke or what? Broadband with such ridiculous download limits is useless for the consumer in my opinion.
Posted by: Abhishek - 05 Apr, 2009

9:I completely agree with Abhishek. The ridiculous download caps etc. by the ISPs are the things they should look at first rather than putting in infrastructure for higher bandwidth. If both the things are given to the customers, I am sure India will become another SuperPower in terms of internet usage.

10:Exactly sort of a situation I have faced very recently. I had an Airtel connection 2Mbps speed with 4Gb download limit for a montly rental of Rs 777.00. I never downloaded a movie from the net. What I essentially did was to use the "skype" for video chat with my wife who is currently in USA. Well, this led me crossing the 4 GB limit. I received a bill of Rs 15 thousand. The bill they send particularly for broadband is always written in Hibru. It sat at what time you accessed the net and how much GB you have used. But there you find nothing about the duration for which you accessed it, which is not only ridiculous but also a complete non-sense. How do I know under the Sun that the usage written on the bill is justified ? And there are entries more than the number of hair in my head. Atrocious people these are. Well, the story doesn't end here. My billing period is like 23rd day to 24th day of the next month. Receiving the bill on and around the 4th of the next month, I called them up and opted to switch to an unlimited access scheme with monthly rental Rs. 1499. So I potentially used the previous 777 scheme for 10 days. Now at the end of the month I again received a bill worth Rs. 9100.00. When I challenged I got an explanation as below: "You have used the 777 plan for 10 days. So the rental would be around Rs. 300 and the limit now would be 1 GB. So whatever you have used above 1 GB would be chargeable at the rate Rs 2 per MB basis. And for the rest 20 days your have to pay around Rs 790". This sounds so logical but as much irritating and frustrating. These clauses should be spelled out to the customers and they should advise the customers about a right time for the switch. They not only cheat deliberately but also behave abrasively. These people are so much frustrating for the customers at times. There is not a single thing which helps the customers to protect their own interests.

17: If you want to travel to Zamosc, Poland, be prepared for a long bus ride. And it will be bumpy. If you are from Michigan, you will be surprised at how much the southern Polish country-side resembles mid-Michigan. While some of the rural landscape is defined by clusters of rolling hills, most of it is a flat expanse of farmland. Unlike in Michigan, the two-lane Polish highways will not necessarily take you on the most direct route: they loop, zigzag and meander according to what seem like medieval trade routes that link every village, town or city. A two hundred mile trip that would normally take three hours becomes one that lasts seven. If you are patient though, and view the trip as a learning experience, it can be quite pleasant. You will notice that the Polish countryside seems to be doing well. New homes are popping up. Roads are being repaved, bridges repaired and passing lanes added. Apparently the small town squares have recently received revitalization funding, as we passed through countless small villages and towns with fresh-laid brick sidewalks, landscaping, park benches and monuments. And speaking of monuments, the country highways are lined with roadside shrines. Some are of the Virgin Mary, while some are dedicated the local patron saint. All of them seem to act as the guardians of safe travel or as reminders that the farmlands have blessed with abundance.


Restored Merchants and Artisans Houses in the Market Square
When you finally arrive in Zamosc, you will be greeted by the typical socialist, pre-fabricated concrete tenements that inevitably line the periphery of so many eastern and central European countries. When I first arrived in Debrecen, Hungary, I experienced a sinking feeling and wondered if the whole city would be defined by such drab, depressing architecture. Once you have travelled throughout Poland, Hungary and Romania, though, you begin to understand that the periphery of any city is often the opposite of the Zentrum, or city center. Zamosc is no exception.

Zamosc is a UNESCO World Heritage City and was designated this status in the early 1990’s because of its exemplary northern Renaissance city plan and remaining architectural structures. The city was originally designed to fulfill the functions of fortress, trading post and country manor for the immensely wealthy Jan Zamoyski. Zamoyski had the town built in 1580 as part of an extensive network of trading posts. Zamosc was to be one of the most formidable bastions on the route surrounded by a seven-sided fortification, extensive moats, and a countryside that was mostly marshland. It stood on the Polish-Lithuanian frontier as an outpost to provide safety against the frequent invasions by the Tatars of Russia.

While much of the original fortifications no longer an existence, take one sixth even now stands. The remains prepare been refurbished and a museum has been built also gaol its former walls. The memorable township six-sided has been the legatee of generous funds from both the European Graft and UNESCO. The conclude is the restoration of Polish Revival buildings that every now were occupied by some of Poland’s wealthiest merchants, who were oftentimes a certainly heterogeneous group comprising Greeks, Italians, Jews, Germans, Scots and Armenians. Zamoyski was dedicated to making Zamosc people of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth, which was a typical Renascence ideal. Designed to be a center of field and the arts, the burgh auditorium in the midway of the even serves as the head, while the homes and ex- businesses circumambient it fight for as the heart and soul. Inside the arcade neighbourhood the store square, artisans and merchants worked side around side, as scholars taught pubescent academics in the rooms above the square. Zamosc today reflects the cosmopolitanism of the Renaissance before displaying refurbished arcades, the florid frames of the rooftops, statues stiffen in the exterior walls, rows of Venetian columns and an array of colorful facades.

18: Who happen to an accident at work, can count on compensation in [b][url=http://www.komputershop.eu/biznes-i-e konomia/przelewy-do-polski-s-4338.html]przele wy do polski[/url][/b]. But it must be to know what is an accident. And also how much compensation is paid accident.
The subject is difficult. Why? Because accident compensation applies to people who often suffer from injuries or relatives of those who died while at work. We must also remember that what may be an accident at work recognized.
This is such a situation in which the cause of the event was caused by the employee. This can be for any external factor is causing negative effects. Even those that are associated with worse health worker who was sick before.
