Bharti Airtel launches 1Mbps Unlimited Plan

Bharti Airtel Broadband is all set to offer 1 Mbps unlimited data transfer broadband plan in Karnataka circle. [I am not sure of other circles yet] Just last week, BSNL DataOne launched 512Kbps broadband at cheaper price than Airtel.

As per the information provided by Bharti Airtel, here are the available unlimited data transfer broadband plans in Karnataka.

128Kbps - Rs 699 [Always on Internet connection, TRAI requires 256Kbps+ for broadband]
256 Kbps - Rs 750
384 Kbps - Rs 999
512 Kbps - Rs 1,499
1 Mbps - Rs 2,222 [New]

All tariffs are for a month. Taxes not included. So a 1 Mbps broadband line in India now costs Rs 2500 [including Taxes] ~USD 62.5 Can someone tell us how much does it cost in the US / Other places for the same pipe ? Or How much broadband $62.5 can BUY in the US and other countries around the world ?

in UK, where average salary of an individual is 2000 pounds a months, 8 MB connection cost roughly 10 pounds. for 15 pounds you can get 20 MBPS plus weekend call free on the telephone. SO you see, what Bharti is offering can be termed as "rip off". I have got an old connection for which I am paying £6 for 4 mb connection from Virgin media. Very reliable service.

Broadband in India is a ripoff. The question I have in my mind is WHY?

- Lack of enough competition?
- Lack of bandwidth pipes?
- Too much regulatory / TRAI Tax etc?
