its faster AND cheaper than dias .. strange .. but good for us besides being cheaper on a per mb basis and per month basis there is an imp point of being able to get done in a few minutes those things which earlier took an hour .. THAT's a biiiig difference .. > 2.

So I believe, there will be no rush. i would tend to think that dias slowdown was a result of bsnl's broadband annoucement .. faster, cheaper .. if they come out with their cell-One based 'faster' connectivity (even if a bit more costly than landline based broadband) .. then broadband population will again be stagnent .. MOST people use interneting for email (web based) .. or a bit of surfing .. even dias is good enough for that > 4.
