Atleast in Cochin(Kerala), i could observe that there is a real price war between the broadband service providers(of course induced by BSNL) & ISPs are actively wooing for more subscribers. More homes which have computers are becoming broadband connected. Education & Entertainment (Music, Movies & Games) are the prime motives. Also most of the Indian ISPs are allocating dynamic IPs. So we should have a formula for working out the real number of connections. I feel that TRAI should come out with similar report(if it has not done already). My opinion is that TRAI's report will be much more reliable compared to Akamai, atleast in India, since all ISPs are reporting to it.

I don't think that they have been moved to > 5MBPS as it is same at 0.6%. Nice information..but why “% above 2 MBPS connections” are reduced?
