_at_SM;Yeps a fact is something that can be proved that why I did not consider that statement of mine as a fact. But, I was talking about the other private ISPs that intended to come to Mauritius. Still, even the companies you mentioned, do not offer somehow better services/prices than the govt.owned ISP. We know Bharat is advertising astonishing prices but we do not know yet if the public will like it and transition massively to their packages or "bouder" and return back to the well-known "myT and adsl".
