This is how IT works in India.

Website queuing
This is a first. Queue to see a website:
Sorry to keep you waiting
Our website is very busy at the moment and your request has been put in a queue. To ensure you keep your place, please do not press refresh or navigate away from this page.
What happens next?
This page will refresh every 30 seconds to check your place in the queue. We expect the total waiting time to be about 2 minutes. After this time, you will be able to continue as normal and we won't keep you waiting again.
Sorry to keep you waiting | Comet - NEW
Just no getting away from queuing in the UK, it seems. PC World and Comet are to be world leaders in this ground breaking technology.Tags: None
