Comcast in the United States will have 50 Mbps of downstream and 10 Mbps of upstream soon. The bad thing is that it costs $139.95 per month. WTF!

I hope it’ll be good. As I’m using BSNL broadband, it’s not good. Speed is around 118, however they’re claiming for 256.

Raj: I agree with you. Unlimited plan seems to be the best one. Currently I have a 64kbps unlimited plan fom Tata Indicom.
Checked your post and fortunately I did not suffer like that. I used to renew using credit card online without any problem. But the representative who calls me to remind to get renewal pack, usually says credit card renewal is not working.

@anand,
Yup, you seem to be winning the competition most of the time .

@Vasu,
Unfortunately there is a limit of only 4GB and with this limit, it will definitely take some time to fill up your new hard drive. Hopefully we can see some unlimited plans on 2Mbps at least

@Abhijeet,
Yup very good speeds, however most of the sites are hosted in US and 8mbps doesn’t help much for these portals ..

@Murali,
No unlimited plans as of now, even if they do come out, its going to be very expensive

@Raj,
30GB ?? Is it only this month or ever month ? I wonder how you manage storing all this data

I hope you haven’t built a data center @ your place

Looks like even your ISP is pretty “excited” about the usage of their service

Great! But the problem with these plans is the low download limit. Wouldn’t one be tempted to download more on such connections. My last month’s usage on my 256 kbps unlimited plan was 30 GB. So this plan would never do for me.

Btw, check out my latest post to know why Tata Indicom is a much better ISP

“blazing download speed of more than 1MB/second !”

Great, but at this rate you may be exhausting your 4GB download limit. Check out if they have any unlimited plan at this bandwidth.

Wow, 1 MBPS, sounds real sweet!
I think I am going to opt for this too. I think this will be perfect ally for the 500 GB hard disk that I just bought
