In India getting bandwidth of at least 25 Mbps is next to impossible .
so you need to work with slower ones .
Wbut mirror got recently upgraded to 8mbps line .
One more point getting speed from depends on ISP provider (client side
) also . Even located just 180 KM from wbut mirror I wont get
anything better than 30 KBps . My ISP does permit more than that .
While some other guys in different ISP gets much better speeds .
