• Indian consumers are constantly complaining that service providers are making false promises regarding internet speed. There was a constant struggle between consumers, regulators and service providers regarding this issue. To address this issue, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India is making changes in the rules. Recently the definition of broadband has been changed.

• According to the new definition, the download speed of the Internet should be at least 2 Mbps. It is far behind the developed countries. For example, in the US it is 25 Mbps. In Canada, it is 50 Mbps.

• TRAI uses several parameters to monitor service providers. This includes connection or SIM card activation time, packet loss, uptime, user satisfaction, latency, etc. However, nine of these parameters are used in defining broadband.

• TRAI should incorporate factors that define the broadband situation with better clarity. For example, it should include the nature of broadband and the proposed schemes.

• In 2004, the download speed defined for a connection to be considered broadband was 256 Kbps. In 2013 it was 512 Kbps.
