Internet Speeds for Online Streaming in India - Learn The Hard Facts

by Shubham Ahuja Blogger Everybody is talking about the vectorization technology that supports the fastest broadband in India with speeds going up to 100Mbps. But what is V-fibre?

V-fibre is a unique combination of cable and Vectorization technology that delivers speed matching European standards. The use of copper cables connecting households across the country to super-fast speeds gives users faster downloads with minimum buffering. Multiple users from a single connection can continue to indulge in activities of choice without worrying about slower downloads.

Speeds & V-fibre

With the advent of high definition and now 4K quality, streaming of media-rich data through the broadband connectivity, most of the internet data speed requirements exceed 2 Mbps and some even demand 5 Mbps. Take for example the services of a movies and TV shows streaming services provider based out of the US - Netflix. They have said that 25 Mbps is a good enough requirement for a family who loves HD movie streaming. It goes without saying, 4k demands even higher internet broadband connection speeds.

Add to that multiple usage. When multiple people plug into the system then only the best broadband can stop a lag from occurring. Most people have houses where a kid is watching a movie on a smart-phone, grandparents are streaming content on the 4k TV and the parents chatting on video conferencing software. Such a family requires a wifi broadband plan delivering high-speed internet with no lags even during peak hours.

Multiple usage is not limited to the whole family using one connection, but one individual multi-tasking. It is no longer to be listening to your favourite songs on YouTube, searching for the elusive shoes online and another tab downloading a much awaited movie. Surveys show youngsters jogging between a Powerpoint presentation on a presentation hosting website, a movie stream on Netflix, a torrent to download a new Linux DVD image and texting and chatting on Facebook as a common feature, forcing companies to offer fastest internet broadband plans with speeds to meet these requirements.

Some Average Internet Speeds in India

To compare the average speeds of the various cities in India -

• Hyderabad - This city has 1 Gbps average broadband speed
• Chennai - 41 Mbps average broadband speed
• New Delhi - 21 Mbos average broadband speed
• Bangalore - 21 Mbps average broadband speed
• Mumbai - 10 Mbps average broadband speed
  

However, for all these cities, the introduction of v-fibre by Airtel, first in Chennai and now offered in several cities is all set to change the standards that people are used to by offering them speeds of up to 100 Mbps. These speeds serve to not only become IT hotspots of the country, but also make the citizens demand better and faster Internet. Though a long way from the speeds of Japanese broadband services where the world’s fastest benchmarks currently stand, these speeds are definitely racing on the right path.

To cite in detail, while average internet service provider speeds in Chennai are only 41 Mbps, V-Fibre offers high speed broadband Internet at 100 Mbps. That is almost double the average speed. Similarly, other cities such as Hyderabad, New Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai all have lower average speeds which V-Fibre once again beats by a cool margin.
