Whew! Finally a reliable (and fast) network connection.

I’m just back from my 10 day trip to India, and it was nearly impossible to find a reliable, stable and fast network connection in any of the places we stayed.

The specially installed DSL/WiMax link at the conference location was flaky to begin with, had high latency, and worked up until it was dug up.

The GPRS modem the IIHS folks were kind enough to lend us was a lifesaver, if slow.

The wired network connection at IIT-Madras required a really goofy proxy setting to use, when it worked.

And it took me about six times to write the previous post that this one completes.
