200kbps is not offically broadband as per FCC!

16 June 2008 2 Comments

Did you know that broadband speeds officially in US were speeds of 200kbps or more, yeah I had a laugh reading that at least in India it’s speeds of 256kbps or more, now the US FCC has revamped the much needed broadband minimum speed and its set to  768kbps!

Well I hope this change gets our indian telecom authority to take notice of the same, coz there were a lot of rumors early this year that the minimum broadband speeds in india would be boosted from the current figure of  256kbps, later on it was termed that 256kbps is more than enough to term a service as broadband comparing it with US where speeds of over 200kbps were termed as broadband.
