Dear Gabe, Since you raised the doubt, I checked again and this is what the service provider, BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, a Govt. of India owned undertaking) says ... I'll transcribe:
"Speed: 100.0 Mbps" (and no fine print.) I've used Pcpitstop from the days of dial up, and download speeds during daytime hours showed one-tenth the rated speed, if not less. Broadband download speeds were much better two years ago than they are today. Forget download speed. Communication is like distant thunder, you hear the sound much after seeing the flash. Infrastructure overload, my comp doc says. Rgds, v PS: I'm connected to the "273" level of Margao exchange. -v On Sun, 06 Apr 2008 Gabe Menezes wrote :

QUESTION: Are you sure Goa has 100 MBPS Broadband ? That is lightening quick, Depending on how far we are from the BT phone centre we can get at max 4 MBPS. Cable is quicker and one can get as fast as 10 MBPS. To determine true speed log on to Pcpitstop. Check out your computer's speed at the same time. -- DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes. London, England
