Ask HN: Where is the fastest Internet connection in India?
I work with video and am struggling to find a fast enough connection to upload my videos to clients. Out of interest, i'm curious as to what the fastest connections are in India. Universities? Business parks? Anyone care to share?
- psibi 13y agoDepends 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.

- psibi 13y agoMadambakkam area. ( Comes near Medavakkam area.) They have a BSNL office there. But they aren't giving any new connections since their capacity is "full".
- constantinum 13y agoI 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
- sn0v 13y agoI've witnessed speeds up to 6 MBps down (i.e. 48 Mbps) at IIT Madras on a wired connection.
- venkasub 13y agoAFAIK, IITM had the best speeds even 7 years back!
- gopalv 13y agoThe 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.
- sylruesoe 13y agoIIT Kanpur has great speeds. You can go upto 100 Mbps at times
