AmanJ 1 Report post Posted October 6, 2004 even 2-3 mbps is too much for casual surfing, in such a speed a MB file doesnt take more than 5 seconds to b downloaded, and i beleive zeus is correct that out of 100 mbps most of the bandwidth used will b for the Tv telecast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abhay 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2004 ppl reliance is not wrong @ its path. it says it will giv 1mbps it means it. but there are few catches 1) 1mbps (mega BITS per second) = 128 (mega BYTES per second). which is 1 mbps / 8 = 128 MBps 2) it would giv that speed for internal consumption like video on demand, audio on demand , cable tv , etc etc etc which by the way dont need external (international bandwidth) only local infrastructure should be good. which of reliance is the best in india and one of the best in the world. 3) i have been tracking NETWAY® since 6 months ( as far as i remember n i came to know that its @ par with some italy's biggest isp n cable service provider (whose service is ranked amoung the top 10's in the world) so "reliance automatically comes under top 9 best isp's in the wold " because the roll out that italy's isp has is very very small than what reliance has done 4) hmm the internet acess speed which i have been seeing ppl are most eager to know about !!! well i dont think so india has that much international bandwidth that the bandwidth would be provided to residential users @ such a cheap rate that reliance is offering. 5) it can provide superb bandwidth for servies like lan gaming , video on demand , audio ,local n long distance video conferencing and other excting stuff because they work on reliance's own network and NOT ON INTERNATIONAL BANDWIDTH and mind it @ 128 MBps of dedicated connection things do work faster ps all of the isps research done through internet so blame the internet not me if the facts are wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Action 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 a major QUESTION MARK - will there be a monthly limited bandwidth? i mean, will the downloads b limited? unfortunately i think they will b.. even in the broadband policy, while defining 'broadband', the download/bandwidth limit was not taken into acount. il choose which ever package gives me unlimited download. otherwise, having a 40kbps unlimited download connection(which i have now) for 30 days is equal to having a limited download 256kbps connection for 5 or 6 days. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF NETWAY IS GONNA ROLLOUT THIS OCT-NOV as said by sumit ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chandramauli 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 (edited) i heard that reliance has tied up with InCable & Siti Cable for showing tv channels ..and most of us i belive that these cable guys sux ( atleast i do) ... i mean everytime theres some sort of price hike and they discontinue certain channels and all that ... i hope reliance is considering all these facts !!

biosbhai 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2004 ahem! 100 MBps of local bandwidth. this means international bandwidth could be low and this sets the stage for download limits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIC officials have already begun talks with local cable operators to distribute the service.
