Yeah I got that, thx.

i hope they extend the speed increase to Wimax also get this speed boost.
Only home plan available on Wimax is 512kbps unlimited.
which in turn gives 0.7 mbps speed.

My badluck is that there is no other ISP in my area.

BSNL currently offers a minimum speed of 512 Kbps and the move is part of its efforts for revival

Gurgaon: State-run BSNL will offer a minimum broadband speed of 2 mega bit per second (Mbps) from 1 October onwards to its customers, at no extra cost.

The company currently offers a minimum speed of 512 Kbps and the move is part of its efforts for revival. BSNL is loosing customers in mobile as well as landline to private operators. The company lost about 1.78 crore wireless and over 20 lakh wireline subscribers between March 2014 and March 2015.

The losses for the firm stood at Rs.7,600 crore. Given the hyper competition in the marker, BSNL’s announcement may also let private operators to offer higher speed at lower cost. Sectoral regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is also expected to soon redefine the definition of broadband speed, which is currently 512 kbps.

Launching the scheme here, telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that BSNL should have frequent interface with customers and the efforts taken on Monday by increasing the internet definition should help in digital India initiative, which is more for poor.

“We have increased the internet speed four times ...we have ensured 2 Mbps is available at last mile, which is the customer premises starting 1 October,” BSNL CMD Anupam Shrivastava said.

Srivastava added that BSNL is on a revival path and the company has added about 15 lakh mobile customers in last few months as against 7-8 lakh subscribers per month.

BSNL to increase minimum broadband speed to 2 Mbps - Livemint

@SrNair @Manindra @Ind4Ever @Mike_Brando @scorpionx @45'22' and other Indian members and particularly those who uses BSNL
Bsnl broadband is far better than other service providers.I have 1 Mbps but it used to get throttled after 5 Gb.If 2 mbps i s the new minimum then it will help in bringing a digital revolution.
