Yes I am getting 1 mbps during night (6pm to 8am I think) and that seems to be the only difference between the 749 & 599 plans. The additional 150 Rs though seem a bit much to get just that for me. They probably will add night speed upgrade to the 599 plan anyway in a few months if everybody go for it. Their next unlimited plan is 999 @ 1.13mbps-1.34mbps.. probably not many used MTNL plans in the between range in the past & so they trashed them.

The Valentine's doodle is lovely! :D

And they carelessly stored passwords in plain text! Wow!

That's me, that's me! haha!

I'll watch this only for Jacqueline! :D

Ping to Google Mumbai 50 Ms, downloads from multiple sources at over 2mbps, I guess I'll let speedtest.net be.

Me too - based on the below speed tests, I'm going to assume mostly in Europe - other than Latvia, where else? :)

Not really. Some parts of Europe have ISPs whereby users can avail of such speeds, sure, but the number of countries (relatively speaking) is small, and then too, most of those countries are themselves quite small, as indeed is the continent of Europe. Additionally, even in the countries where such speeds are available, synchronous connections are not the norm - in most countries they are very asynchronous, often upload speed is between 10 and 25% of the download speed - I've even seen a couple of ISPs have it at 1% (100 down, 1 up!)

Ar savu prasibu problema ir ta, ka Lattelecom nav gigabit paketi vel. Un ka pingtime ir briesmigs!! You should have been getting maybe 15ms to Copenhagen.

In May 2011, they'd only recently introduced their (still top of the line) 500mbit/s plan which, while still very good, doesn't support your claim of this being a home connection, and further to that LATTel's home plans rarely reach anything close to synchronous speeds: even if they don't enforce a limit, there is a technological limitation on GPON, and achieving 994mbit/s as an upload would mean you were basically choking an entire PON tree.

That being said, it does go to show that if the infrastructure is built properly and plans are developed to take advantage of it, the Internet experience can be simply awesome, and the point of this thread is to ask how people would use a 100mbit/s+ connection... and based on what I've seen since the thread opened, about 65% of users would download copious amounts of porn (can't argue with router logs) :D

Yep, Travel XP HD gone and replaced by Ten HD on ch. 923 even though channel name is still Travel XP. Might change by morning. Hope Travel XP will be added again once ST2 starts operational along with some other removed channels and Zee Classic.

are up up for trolling your boss? :P
