Perhaps maybe your situation is more local than that: the bom0Xs0X series is in the same cluster of servers that we hit, so perhaps your cable operator has another upstream provider which doesn't limit connection speeds to Youtube, whereas traffic to Bangalore is getting limited by your plan speed as per Spectranet's specifications - and being that you're in Thane, I wouldn't be surprised if your cable operator works with some of the same people I do (we don't limit Youtube speeds).

I know for a fact that Spectranet is desperate to advance services in Mumbai and were willing to come to some interesting arrangements to do so, so as of now from what I understand, the situation they're in is that unlike some of the other metros, they have a lot less of their own infra in Mumbai than elsewhere.

As for the reason that I suspect that Bangalore is probably being chosen as the next server of choice (for whatever reason) is that it may be the next closest or best performing - the other options would be Delhi (Mumbai-Delhi, much more congested route, so probably doesn't perform as well) or Chennai (Mumbai-Chennai also extremely congested, plus some infrastructure in Chennai is rubbish and causes all sorts of problems).

Maybe do a trace to Bangalore and Mumbai servers and post the results (tracert o-o.preferred.bom03s03.v13.lscache8.c.youtube.com and o-o.preferred.spectranet-blr1.v11.lscache6.c.youtube.com respectively).

Please note: most of this post is theory with a little educated guessing and deduction - although I do know and occasionally speak to the guys at Shyam Telecom/Spectranet, I don't work with or for them nor am I associated or affiliated with them in any other way and am only basing all this on what I know about how my network talks to Google/Youtube/etc.

Alliance has downtime issues.One of the reasons i dumped them.

So near yet so far for Bangladesh. Kudos to them. Naysayers might rant about them playing in familiar conditions, but this team never gave serious competition to any major team in the recent past, until this series. They defeated both India and Sri Lanka, and had Pakistan in trouble in both the matches. The reactions from the players of both the teams after the last ball was bowled clearly showed how well they had played. Pakistanis were relieved more than overjoyed, and Bangladesh knew they had lost a major opportunity.

While this is a major step forward for them, there still is work to be done. Shakib is a star, and Tamim an upcoming one. However, other players need to get their act right. It was shocking to see Nazimuddin and Nasir Hosain bat the way they did.

Going by this proverb in the next election the sigh of the congress with have a a black hand on it instead of a white one :D...

I have purchased a iBall Claro TV tuner card recently. I have a TATA Sky Set Top Box which has a component and composite output. Component output has better video quality than composite output. How can I view component video i.e YPbPr output from iBall Claro TV. I can find only composite video input cable in the Claro TV tuner card package but the software has a option of viewing component video too. Can you please guide me on this. Can I get the component input cable in market? and will it work? Whats the price? and where can I get it in Pune?

Waiting very keenly on your reply.

Kimi still needs time, Qualifying will be a trump card for him

Mercedes over the long runs will be pace deficient due to huge tyre degradation but in qualifying they have a trump card..Agree with the rest

My bet is on RBR, Mclaren and Lotus for the Top 3
