I already have a BSNL EVDO connection, and it provides consistent 1.5 mbps + bandwidth. I've no idea what 'e' mbps means, and it's quite apparent our NIT doesn't suck. :) @Yoinis

The speed gets down around 15K in the evening, when lots of students are logged in. And I'd rather have a slower connection and be able to access websites I want. There are loads of websites that are blocked here - Digg, Reddit... I could actually make a Bible if I went on. Every other link shared on Twitter is blocked - you'll know how frustrating it is when you've a taste of it. Of course, your condition doesn't look all that great. :[ Maybe you should opt for the BSNL 500 plan - you get upto 2 mbps bandwidth, 2.5 GB download / upload limit, and unrestricted downloads from 2 - 8 am. .-= Ashutosh Mishra´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/tonicposts/~3/KcajkfE81Ts/" rel="nofollow">A Glance at Internet in NIT, Rourkela</a> =-. @ Prasad

I am paying almost 1/10th of my salary for a whomping "27 KBPS" and I 'effing' hate it. Dude, 30-35 KBPs is Godspeed, when you are having it for free.
