Its referred as FTTH (Fibre To The Home). Its already launched in some cities. Here is a presentation about what it does:

What's new in 1000Mbps ?

Reliance & TATA were capable of this since they started Enterprise products on their Fibre backbone..

Just that nobody cab afford it.. It only describes the capability of Fibre.

Oracle HO here on BG Road itself has subscribed for 300Mbps DIA thru Reliance..

Oh yes... but it will surely help provide internet to a 100 storey residential building without having feasibility or bandwitdth issues..

Bandwidth is not the problem but download quotas are.

Given the current tariffs of DSL services offered by BSNL, one can expect these services to be priced at unaffordable levels for a small and medium size business, leave alone a residential customer.

[::Hitesh:: 1,763]

1000mbps not for my pocket!

Its too costly for normal user.

New era begin atlest in internet,

We are behind in 3g,

But altest now with worls by getting fibre at home

[abhi.r 95]

BSNL has recently launched FTTH services in India. Jaipur is the first city which has the chance to taste the new technology. FTTH means Fiber To The Home.

The FTTH services are being launched over Overlay Access Network (OAN) rolled out by BSNL in major cities. Since the bandwidth availability at the customer’s end in FTTH will be huge, many high bandwidth services can be launched.

1.2 The technologies behind FTTH network are GPON and GE-PON. In GPON, subscriber end termination is on ONT (Optical Network Termination) unit. These ONT are having 4 Ethernet ports and 2 POTs (RJ11 ports). There is another category of ONTs which can support video overlay services (Analog TV) without Set Top Box along with above ports.

1.3 Many Next Generation Play services such as Voice (POTS as well as VoIP), High Speed Internet, IPTV, Cable TV (Analog), Video on Demand, Gaming, Layer 2 and 3 VPN, etc, can be provided on the FTTH-GPON, however, initially FTTH is being launched with the Broadband Internet Service, tariff for which is given last of BROADBAND TARIFF page

2.1 Since FTTH network can support higher bandwidth, many high speed Broadband plans are being offered to the customers on FTTH so as to give them a better experience and a differentiated product. Further, the rollout of FTTH will be in both residential as well as in commercial areas and hence the product is both for home as well as for business users.

The telecommunications industry differentiates between several distinct configurations. The terms in most widespread use today are:

* FTTN – Fiber-to-the-node – fiber is terminated in a street cabinet up to several kilometers away from the customer premises, with the final connection being copper.

* FTTC – Fiber-to-the-cabinet or fiber-to-the-curb – this is very similar to FTTN, but the street cabinet is closer to the user’s premises; typically within 300m.

* FTTB – Fiber-to-the-building or Fiber-to-the-basement – fiber reaches the boundary of the building, such as the basement in a multi-dwelling unit, with the final connection to the individual living space being made via alternative means.

* FTTH – Fiber-to-the-home – fiber reaches the boundary of the living space, such as a box on the outside wall of a home.

* FTTP – Fiber-to-the premises – this term is used in several contexts: as a blanket term for both FTTH and FTTB, or where the fiber network includes both homes and small businesses. Diagram in the left can explained the concept.

Fiber is often said to be ‘future proof’ because the speed of the broadband connection is usually limited by the terminal equipment rather than the fiber itself, permitting at least some speed improvements by equipment upgrades before the fiber itself must be upgraded.

However there is a caveat,It is expensive to get good returns,and if the optical cable are damaged(as regularly happened now by the rival ISP) or any other case, then it cannpot be replaced..

At present BSNL is giving FTTH connection within the 1 K>M radius of its Telephone Exchange, to the Business houses which need connections to their system not less than 50 or the members of Apartment which has more than 50 units with them.

Hope to see new revolution in Broadband technology in India soon.

[Dushie 30]

a lot will depend on the costing of services.

[abhi.r 95]

Yes its coslty for now. but in future it wont be.

Every new technology is expensive, even the 1st CD Writter made in MIT which run @ 1X spped and took 72mins to write one Disk.. and it cost more than Rs. 100,000.

Just trying to make a point that soon we are going to see 20Mbps of broadband speed for home use affordable prices like people in US and UK and otehr parts of europe gets.

[rbdhoot 11]

Is it launched through out the country or only specific cities ???

[sougatadc 358]

1000 Mbps! What a Bakwas!

Worldwide South Korea and Japan are on the top of the list showing highest internet speeds with average Internet connection of 14.6Mbps and 7.9Mbps respectively. Hong Kong, with an average speed of 7.6Mbps, is at third place. Rounding out the top 10 list are Romania, Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, and the Czech Republic.

A point to be noted that the United States is placed only at 18th position with its 3.9Mbps average speed of internet connection.

And is it to be believed that we will be getting 1000Mbps soon? I'm the last person to believe this.

@ sougata

Dear you are absolutely WRONG!

if you live in Jaipur and if you can pay Rs.84000 per month. You dont have to wait for future to get 100MBPS connection.. rather you can get it today from BSNL

And also get some friends of yours to avail the same service FTTH so that the AVERAGE broadband speed(of which you are talking about) of india will increase. and the name of India will also be shown on the top 10 charts

And is it to be believed that we will be getting 1000Mbps soon? I'm the last person to believe this.

Mano ya naa mano its possible now

[abhi.r 95]

@ Sougat:

PS: its just a joke. please dont mind.

[uziel 0]

The costing is surely high but when regular broadband was launched, there were also pricey when compared to DUN connections over POTS. The cost of infrastructure setup has to be recovered and financial viability has to be green. The happy part is that its all happening in India :-)

[KanagaDeepan 1,084]

Wow.. 1000mbps net access by BSNL... What is FUP??? 2GB or 4GB??? After that the speed will be 256kbps...

Let them first give 2Mbps BB without a flaw and GOOD SERVICE...

[sougatadc 358]

Wow.. 1000mbps net access by BSNL... What is FUP??? 2GB or 4GB??? After that the speed will be 256kbps...

Very well said....

Anyway, I still don't believe a 1000mbps net speed possible in near future in India. Is is a printing mistake?

[copperco2 24]

Well, it could be 100Mbps.

I have seen the infrastructure at pune in the administrative training center.. since the infra was solely for the disposal of the training center therefore the bandwidth would not fluctuate much.. like the dedicated line..

if someone has a similar experience we would get sure.. in fact one of the RIMweb member has gone to train in mussouri for IPS.. he is sure to attend some courses at pune, may be he can get the details.

[volstagg 24]

just saw some of the stupid plans offered by bsnl. every plan has the word "upto" in the speed column. so they can charge an insane amount of money which no one in india can afford and then screw the customers royally with some technical terms.i also called my area bsnl JE to enquire about these plans. it seems there is a distance restriction on some of these plans. i.e from the exchange your house has to be within a prescribed no of kilometers for you to get the full speed
