Ask HN: Where is the fastest Internet connection in India?

Depends primarily upon the region you live. Even though, I live in Chennai, I cannot even get a broadband connection on the area where I reside.

Hyderabad's beem provides upto 25 Mbps of speed. ( http://www.beamtele.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=ar... )

I reside in Chennai, i get a speed of 70 Mbps at my home,of course you got to pay a small fortune as billing every month

Just out of curiosity, which area do you live in?

Madambakkam area. ( Comes near Medavakkam area.) They have a BSNL office there. But they aren't giving any new connections since their capacity is "full".

The trouble is that all of the bandwidth available on ads is downstream bandwidth. And what you care about seems to be upstream bandwidth.

Airtel, Reliance and ACT all have approx 1Mbit/s upstream for their most expensive plans.

The last office I worked in skipped a layer & had an MPLS connection to the US premises.

I've witnessed speeds up to 6 MBps down (i.e. 48 Mbps) at IIT Madras on a wired connection.

AFAIK, IITM had the best speeds even 7 years back!

IIT Kanpur has great speeds. You can go upto 100 Mbps at times
