In recent years there has been a drastic change in India as a country, and especially in the Telecom sector there were many ups and downs in the economy but this sector seems to beat all odds and has emerged as a strong contender in the market.
So why not broadband? Well that’s exactly what my point is: India’s broadband market too has gone through a drastic makeover a recent study shows people in India are now more open to e-resources than any counterparts.
With free stuff available on the internet, people’s hunger for e-stuff has seen a drastic change from downloading music to movies and from ebooks to free software, it seems people in India are one step ahead.
People of all ages have access to the internet, be it from their home or from a cyber-cafe. In this age of globalization people’s amenities have also increased. Now people are more attached to the Internet just as they are to their mobile phones. Every day India registers new broadband connections and a recent study reveals that people prefer using the Internet more from their home than from cafes. On an average, a person spends not less than 2 hours a day on internet surfing, downloading, chatting, making online friends, etc. And with social networking sites bombarding the market, the use of internet services has increased by leaps and bounds.
Well today BSNL, our very government owned telecom service provider, has been serving broadband services under the banner of ‘Dataone” (which has been lately changed to ‘BSNL Broadband’) and is believed to be the cheapest broadband service. With increased customers there rises a good chance of facing problems regarding broadband connections. Sometimes errors do pop up in between your daily work schedule and it does annoy us. So I will be highlighting some of the common error that might come up while using BSNL’s broadband services and how to resolve the matters in no time.
