The internet connection in general were very slow. As far I can say, the best connection which I had was at the Airport in Mumbai, one week ago.I'm wondering that anything works. The wiring at some places seems not to be the best...May be, something like the stratospheric broadband could solve these problems: http://www.capanina.org/ STRATOSPHERIC BROADBAND I was now travelling for 2 months in india.

But if MTNL has really been good in reliability and connectivity, I am impressed. Very few ISPs have their users talking about the service positively even after prolonged use. Experimental Mania,

That is absolutely terrible. But I am not quite sure if it's with all the broadband providers. I have been using an MTNL TriBand connection for the past 2 years now, and except for the initial "3 Month" registration process, the speed and service has usually been exceptionally good. They actually upgraded my line from 256 kbps to 2 mbps, this year, since i've been a "loyal & valuable" customer, as their letter stated. I experience downtimes on maybe sunday afternoons, but by restarting the router, everything returns to normal. Cheers. I watched the episode. That is absolutely terrible.

But you can' just blame the ISP for the problem. TRAI says that anything above 256Kbps, with an always on connection is broadband. But then they didn't say anything about the data transfer cap...I think the TRAI should have put that clause as well... I think India has a strong undersea cable network to give unlimited broadband access atleast  a lot of cities in India I think you have perfectly written about the state of broadband in India.
