hey.. this 2 mbps unlimited for 1499 PKR sounds really good.I pay Rs.1800+taxes for my tataindicom homeplan and the speed is 1.5 mbps.I use a separate USB stick too and the speed is around 3 mbps,but the charges for that are paid by the company.

Considering it costs 1499 in PKR,it should cost even less in Indian currency.Damn.... we are paying much more for internet here in India.

Regarding this 50mbps idea,well not good if it is capped.Besides,it is going to come at a huge price..Now what will you do with a 50mbps plan?From the perspective of a standard home user,for a little web surfing,1 mbps is sufficient.For watching streaming online videos,a 2-4 mbps is good enough.For playing online games you need a connection with low latency rather than higher download speed.
So,only thing that you can do with a 50 mbps plan is download a lot of stuffs.Now what good is the connection if it is capped?
Now if you are planning for a business purpose,running a server etc.then you may require higher bandwidth.

2 Mbps at 1499 wow you guys are lucky ....For most indians the only true UL plans available is BSNL UL750 plan with 512kbps speed.We all had high hopes for 3G from BSNL but it stopped all UL plans for 3G recently.Broadband in india sucks big time.

Where do you live ? I pay 1250 for 2 Mbps unlimited, but I have a 6 month package. MTNL is even cheaper. I saw an ad in the paper YOU broadband offering something like 4 mbps pretty cheap.
