BSNL - 500 Mbps...Start dreaming...!!

[abu]

Smart homes may become a reality soon

KOLKATA: Remember all those stories about remote-controlled gadgets at home. These have remained dreams for Indians. Not any more. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) is all set to install and test a killer application that will offer broadband speeds of at least 500 mbps (250 time the current speed) to homes through fibre optics network in Kolkata. Such speeds will be the basic enabler for these dream technologies.

Currently, BSNL offers a broadband speed of 2 mbps that can be stretched to 16 mbps allowing limited internet-based value added services like gaming and steaming video. Mbps is the speed at which a certain volume of data travels every second. Faster speeds help run more intelligent applications.

BSNL is currently working on two technologies. One that will offer speeds of 100 mbps and the other that will allow at least 500 mbps. The 100 mbps project will allow users to make his/her entire house a local area network on which all gadgets like TV, refrigerator, washing machine, micro-wave, gizzard, water filter or the lock at the main door and the gate will be connected. All these can be controlled remotely through a wireless gadget like the cell phone or any other handheld devices.

damn provide us proper 2 mbps connections first then talk about 500 mbps , BSNL is stupid

We want a 2 mbps internet connection for our college.If you please send us the details in that particular procedure.

hahahnn.. its kinda joke..man...they cant give 512 kbps connction properly and talkin abt 500mbps...man....hahahaha still cant believe wat u r sayin...

This is impossible. BSNL is don't have technology to provide speed more then 100 mbps. How they can provide 500 mbps speed. First they have to develop proper technology to provide at least 2 mbps speed.

ya our gov should certain steps to improve the 2mbs speed if this continues then bsnl will loose good customer support.....

The time is not too far when this speed will be attained... Remember the new motherboards come with Gigabit LAN Port? That is 1Gbps port. also many of you may be mistaken. 100Mbps means 100 Megabits per second and not Megabytes. So 100Megabits = 100/8 Megabytes...
