dsl is dirt cheap in india, but i read somewhere on esreality that the fastest dsl in india is 256, so it isnt all rainbows.

I was just in india, dial up users on the BSNL network got upgraded to adsl for free in december and prices dropped (DROPPED) 21% or something

compared to our 192? if it came down to it, i would prefer cost over speed anyday. even if telkom limited its dsl offering to 512k at the cost of what they're paying in india, i would take that over a 1mbps offering at the cost of a mortgage.

DSL is really cheap there, uncapped 256kbps is like R100.

Hi there! i am back! I spoke to the owner .... wat little i could he said he was using Tata Indicom dsl256. It feels so much like our 512k. There are faster speeds but i think 256k is the most worth it.

The main thing abt it is that, I was literally in the middle of no where .... the fact that they would provide a line to a place like that shows that TATA are'nt as selfish as telkom. We should remember tho that Mumbai alone has 11 million ppl. So low prices will pay off with the volume of users.

Tata was also offering call anywher in india for Rs1 a min.... That comes to 15c a minute ....

Anywayzzz jet lag is still affecting me... Just thought that I would inform the SA world of what type of company Tata is over ther

I think killing ourself would be easier than paying Telkom each month.
