I guess this is typical for home connections in India.
But I suppose that big research institutes and
universities have a better, more economic internet
connection.
I can't imagine that the big institutes in Kolkata,
Chennai, Bengalore, Mumbai etc. are connected via
56 kb/s modems and pay exorbitant amounts for
internet use....
Of course, a Linux and/or BSD mirror should be
hosted by such a research institute, most probably
by the computer science departement.
Or is all that different in India?
