Demand for connectivity has grown over the last few months. Even when looked at the last five years, more and more businesses have shifted to an online platform. For entertainment, people now depend on streaming services more than anything else. The thing is, this is just the start. In the coming few years, a majority of the world’s population will seek to rely on internet connectivity to execute their daily tasks and more. While 4G and 5G will be there for people to stay connected, no one can deny the importance of broadband internet. Broadband internet is not only fast; it is more reliable as well. This is because there are fewer chances of network congestion, and you can actually control the kind of downloading and uploading speed that you get.

Broadband Internet, What Should be the Minimum Speed?
With time, it is normal to expect that broadband internet standards will rise. But where will it exactly reach? Broadband India Forum (BIF) recently responded to consultation papers floated by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) saying that the definition of broadband internet must be updated.
While people have become accustomed to 4G internet speeds in the country, 512 Kbps internet speed is still suggested as the appropriate minimum internet speed for a broadband connection. BIF has said that this definition must be updated and the minimum broadband speed must be 2 Mbps for an internet service for qualifying as broadband service.
At the same time, Bharti Airtel believes that the definition doesn’t need to be interfered with right now. As per a statement from Airtel, 512 Kbps internet is more than sufficient to do most of the things any average user would want to.
Broadband Internet, Pricing!
Tons of private broadband service providers have sprung up in the last two to three years. Demand for fibre internet connection has grown to an all-time high. But is the pricing of broadband internet at the right place at the moment?
