Post Goa may have the fastest broadband available in India

I will believe it when I see it but looks like people in Goa could soon have access to European style broadband speeds(2-100 Mb/s) at a very reasonable cost of Rs 252/month.

2- 100 mbps bandwidth with subscription charges starting at Rs252 a month sounds almost too good to believe.
I hope Kerala government takes note of this and instead of crowing about the tens of Gbps of
bandwidth on offer by the undersea cables landing here,goes in for a similar public-private partnership to utilize some of that bandwidth to provide high speed connectivity to all parts of the state.

I'm stunned.

Now I know why people choose Goa!

It is so much better value than the rest of India is getting that there is either a big mistake, or (I hope) a revolution on the way.

This the same cost as the current 250k "broadband" BSNL offer. Trouble is that it seems to be down half the time (and that's when the phone line is actually working)
