The free basics plan proposed by Facebook was rejected by the telecom regulatory authority of India due to the protests from people. This was a standadlone incident which happened in 2016. Later 2016 saw the introduction of Jio 4G service provider which began to provide super cheap 4G service for the masses (approx 5$ for 28GB and it was free when it launched) which made other telecoms to drop the prices massively. Apart from some sites which Government has censored I have experienced no major problems with India's Internet. I even traveled from the southern part of India to the northern part in train enjoying uninterrupted 4G Internet earlier this year(Around 2400Km). We are happy how India's ISPs are going and don't have much to complain. Thank you.

Did you confuse India with China?
