It depends on bandwidth you subscribe. Its quite expensive to get speed like in US. I don't think you going to pay a huge money like big corporates for bandwidth. With usual home based subscription you will get usual speed of 64k to 256k download, and it also depends on your subscription payment. Most of the sites you are referring are in US and they have to come all the way from satellite. So there gonna be some delay on those services. Anyway, even its not like US... they are fast enough. Many ISP give you the high speed internet, few with wireless and RF cable and most with UTP cable. check the availability of these services at your location. Cable from Subisu, Worldlink, enet, etc are not available at every place. The more you pay better the service is. Its quite expensive than US. Good luck !!!
