agreed that India has worst broadband speed.

Real shame for India. Even countries like Indonesia and Vietnam have better broadband speeds.

I think Trai should do something to force operators to increase broadband speed.
I read recently that India is rated last among Asia-pac countries for broadband speed & operators are intentionally keeping the speed low.

Not only trai but the government too should show some concern about it.

Lots of challenges are there for TRAI but they're sleeping

I am still hearing about National Optic Fibre plan since last 10 years but couldn't see in reality anywhere.

I am expecting something good in this respect too from current government

Let's see if they will do anything in this regard.
