A tutorial - How to use Bridge mode/Dial-up Mode in MTNL Dlink-502T


I had done port forwarding .. Its safe ...but I am using bridge mode
.. which is better than pppoe mode
n no need of port forwarding n pathetic .. unpluging of adapter.
Better try bridge mode .. all worried will be gone

I asked the techi guy at MTNL .. when he called me, (bcoz the 1504 guy didnt know anything of port forwarding so he fwd the mail to higher people)
he said .. bridge mode is good too.. it doesnt need port forwarding.

.................................................. ..............................................

Step1: Open 192.168.1.1 in IE/Firefox

Step 2:

Step 3:

http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/5171/25mf1.th.jpg (http://img162.imageshack.us/my.php?image=25mf1.jpg)

Step 4:
now
Go To Settings
n
Reboot the router.

It will take a minute or two


Step 5:
..then in WinXP

Make a Dialup connection,,

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/285/37hp.th.jpg (http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=37hp.jpg)

Set Connection manually
...
Connect to BB using login name n password
...
Name it - MTNL_Triband
...
User - Tel No.
Password - CA No.

.................................................. .................................................. .

Reboot(not essential)
.. then Dial <MTNL_Triband>

I think you must made some changes in setting with FW and AV. Make it default, if still have problem. Go directly to MTNL office or Call them on 1504 toll free number.

CANNOT ENABLE FIREWALL IN DSL-502T
guys i need your help. there are two issues:

1) initially when i got the mtnl connection, the router's firewall was enabled by default(i think i'm pretty sure about that)
but a few days ago, i had disabled the firewall of the router from the
router's page(192.168.1.1 > home > WAN) to be able to access a few programs.
but now when i want to enable it again, it just wont happen.
this is what happens:
i goto the home tab. there i go and click on the WAN button.
earlier the firewall pop-down menu used to show "enabled".
but now, since it was disabled by me, i select "enable" from the
menu, and press the "apply" button at the bottom of the page.
a short pop-up message asks me to reboot the modem. i press OK.
the page starts to refresh automatically. but then nothing ever
happens.
the net stops working, and i cant access the web.
i'm thus forced to plug out the modem and the replug-in the power
supply.
the net works again.
but now when i again check the firewall status on the router, it
again says "disabled".


2) nextly, the port forwarding doesnt seem to be workking either.
wen i add new rules in the "user" defined rules, and press apply as and when required by it, the page refreshes, and never comes back... rebooting the router does not seem to have any effect, as i'm neither being able to add new rules nor modify previous rules.

i just cannot seem to get around these problems.
kindly help me resolve the issue.

[rollcage]

the support is bad ... I dont think 1504 guyz will know the answers .. unless they fwd query to higher authority

1> after doin all steps, go to Setting> Reboot, and reboot from that too
may be that works

2> for port forwarding, .. what you mean that it isnt working .. I tried it worked
But as I said earlier too .. try the Bridge mode (my post above) I had a exchange of phone calls with techi at mtnl delhi dont remember his name, but this is true that He acknowledged .. once you are in bridge mode .. all your tensions go .. e.g. Port fwding, NAT error, Or the adapter removing to disconnect

trib unlimited plan monthly rent has been reduced to Rs.949 pm, i will be changing over, my present plan is 590NU, however sify and a few others are giving unlimited plans at a much cheaper rate... could someone tell me if i should stick with mtnl or make change of isp?

[rollcage]

My experiance with MTNL has been good .. hardly ever slowdown
wen the phone was dead internet was working :D (he he )

sify isnt good, airtel people say .. that there are many slowdowns here.

trib unlimited plan monthly rent has been reduced to Rs.949 pm ... this is good news .. but need to comedown more ..

unlimited is only in 256 :(

Anyone tried the new games service on their Triband connection? It was meant to be free for 4 days on an introductory offer. My friend has been ripped pretty bad by MTNL, and has been billed for a data transfer of nearly 1.5GB on the NU plan. Beware! Backends of all the ISPs are pathetic.

Guys i am back in the cyber world. Got a MTNL TriB Unlimited connection today. working good, gentoo servers upgrading, open bsd firwall security updateing, life is sooooo full again, and i did mis this forum.

[leprechaun]

guys thanks for the earlier help.. i restored my 502t to factory sdettings and now things are going fine... except for one...
i recently started using utorrent... so after downloading the .torrent file, when i started downloading it using the USB connection, i was getting great speed... then i paused it for some reason... the nest time i started the PC to resume theb download, i had mto use the ethernet due to some reasons. and i got really suckky speeds... and also the utorrent status bar showed a warning flag, suggesting that there is some problem min your nnetwork config.... so i switched to the usb, and things were fine again... so i thought some sort of problems that wer there, might hacve been solved... so i switched back to ethernet... but again i got that same little flag warning in utorrent and sucky speed...
although i've applied the same port fwding rules to both interfaces in the 502t, and even disabled its firewall, i'm getting the same issues...
could anyone help me figure out that why is this taking place??
why shouold USB work and ethernet not?

PS:- i have NO sw firewall installed in my system and i'm using avg free antivirus, on WinXP SP2
__________
also, why i dont want to use the usb, is that it freezes somehow on my pc within a one/two hours max..
this is another issue... help please!

My experience of Mtnl Triband in Delhi is so far amazing.
In last 14 months the connection was down for less than 30 hours down combined in 2 seperate days.
After getting Rs 1399 (now 949) unlimited connection, torrents are now blazing fast almost (28-31 kb per second) download speed. Thats nearly 100 MB per hour Since it uses a static ip, even it connects faster with static ip setting in my Dlink 502T router.
Can't wait for 512 unlimited connection?
For people having trouble with torrents put your local ip adress, ex- 192.168.1.2/3/3 etc in DMZ under router setting. DMZ is a minor security risk , torrents works at optimum speed. Presently downloading around 40-50 GB per month.

Now my question- Since there is no 512 kbps unlimited connection from MTNL yet. It is possible to combine 2 seperate 256 connection on one computer (with WinXP) to get 512 kbps effective speed?

P.S. I use Azureus for torrent (no nat error thus far) and getright for http.
If anyone facing torrent issue contact me at cricketmater@yahoo.com or here.

i called 1500 today because i was planning to change to mtnl..

they said that the mtnl registration charges (Rs. 1300) have been waived off till November 15.

right now i have sify connection for which i have already taken a one month pack which expires on 25 nov.

my question is that if i apply on nov 14 and suppose they install the connection on 20nov. .then will i be charged any registration charges? (they calculate reg charges form the date of application or the date of installaion??)

also, how many days does it NORMALLY take to install the connection after application?

[thewisecrab]

Heres my Q.
i have Mtnl 199 Plan with D-link Router(as i was one of the first people to apply 4 it)
now can i use both ethernet and usb connectivity at the same time 4 my internet?

[king007]

yes u can, u can connect usb to laptop and ethernet to desktop or even vice versa and use the same connection on 2 pc's simultaneously but the bandwidth gets divided. So u attach more computers the bandwidth gets further divided and connection becomes slower....

[thewisecrab]

Thanx

[nfsfan]

is there any such scheme in mtnl that converts ur rs 199 -400mb plan into night unlimited after paying 100 bucks extra...one of my frnds told that the person who came to install the connection at his place told him.i enquired at 1500 and as usual they acted foolishly and dint give a proper reply.anybody knows about it?and has the game pack started in mtnl as well?

[seattleite]

Hi Guys,
I had a question which if you can answer will be really helpful and highly appreciated.

I have no idea about the quality of the MTNL broadband connection and I am planning to get on at my place in Bombay for one month. I will be coming to Bombay and staying at my parents place and asked my brother to get the best internet connection available in Bombay. He said MTNL is the one and hence I am gettin it.

My question for you is which tariff plan will be appropriate for me. I want to connect to servers here in the US and work from Bombay. It will be a simple putty connection to Unix boxes and most of my work will be done at night time.

I was thinking the number 5 connection here http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm will be appropriate for me.

Do you think 256Kbps will be enough. Is the connection what they say and always that good, especially at night ?

Thanks so much for your inputs

[it_waaznt_me]

Hmm.. I was wondering if you could use BSNL router with MTNL .. I am having Huawei MT 882 provided by BSNL and now I am in Bombay ..

I can program the router ( :D good at it) .. But just wanted a confirmation as MTNL support people keep transferring me from one guy to another saying he'll tell or she'll confirm ..

No. Theres no such thing as that.

You can change your plan to a higher plan by writing them an application.

But giving just Rs.100 extra wont change ur plan from 400 MB to TriB_NU !

Sorry

So far, only Delhi MTNL has an unlimited plan...

Mumbai MTNL has the Night Unlimited plan, But no Total Unlimited.

I have called them up several times, but to no avail.

I think all guys from Mumbai here should make a petition.

We need a Unlimited plan in Mumbai !!

[kumaramesh]

I have an MTNL 256kbps unlimited account, and have been provided with a UTStar ADSL router. My connection dies automatically after a while, with the duration ranging from a few minutes to a few hours (usully averaging 1 1/2 hours, but fluctuating greatly). While the network continues to be shown as being connected, there is no data transfer. Restarting the computer is the only way to counter this problem, after which it works just fine for a few minutes (or hours) and dies again. I use win xp sp2. Please advice.

[preshit.net]

Have you tried troubleshooting and isolating the problem ?


Is the ADSL LED on the Router still ON when you encounter no data transfer or active connection ?
Does you house have parallel connection(s) ?
Tried rebooting _just_ the router, instead of the computer ?
When the connection drops, have you ever logged in to http://192.168.1.1/ and seen the "Status" of your connection ?


Thanks!!

[kumaramesh]

I do not have any parallel connections, and the ADSL light continues to shine bright when the connection drops. I am not able to log into 192.168.1.1 (.2 in my case since I connect through the USB port) when the conection drops, and rebooting the router makes my laptop hang. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I run XP without SP2, so no question of firewall. But my network connection settings says "firewalled". Why?

Also, I just installed uTorrent and I'm getting this error:

"error opening Windows firewall 0x80040154
unable to map UPnP port"

I tried port forwarding, but even then I get this error:

"Error! Port 40091 does not appear to be open."

"Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5). "

I've got the D-Link 502-T router connected to the USB.

Plz help

oh man.....no one is answering me....:( This is the modem they are providing
http://www.alphanetworks.com/asl_2300.htm
It can be connected to both USB as well as Ethernet port. It is and is not a router. By both things I mean that you can connect it as a router for a single system...it will provide you with basic protection...provide you IP filters and basic router functionality. You can also connect it to a real router and it will work flawlessly in a network.

As for the plans...this 949/- plan is currently limited till 30/11/2006 but as we know about MTNL...they will surely extend the scheme and might make it permanent. Currently mentioning both the plans on same page is just a mistake. You can call the customer care and just tell them that you want 256kbps unlimited...they will understand ;)

you can ask your ip from the mtnl poeple...and as far as the router settings are concerned...you must have got a user manual/guide to setup your router...??

I assume you have just reinstalled the OS and didnt touch the router. !!
Meaning, your router settings ae intact.

Now, all you have to do it create a Local Area Connection with the IP and DNS set to "Obtain Automatically" in the TCP/IP Properties.

Thats it...

It is still a sad state of affair that there is no unlimited 256 kbps plan for mumbai. I use it, although it has closed last month. My account page still shows that I am using 256kbps unlimited. It gives around 50 GB download per month. I think within 6 months 512 kbps ulmited will be available, which will enable people to watch live streaming movies at decent quality.
ADSL routers are notoriously bad with power fluctuation. This is the biggest reson for random disconnection other is that telephone phone line is not properly set-up. If your telephone gives too much hissing sound, that get for telephone line fixed with local lines-mam. Best remedy against power fluctuation is to connect Router with UPS. That should reduce some disconnections. It has helped me. Sometimes when i do get disconnected i turned off my router for 2 minutes then turn it on. Sometime without a 2 minute break, the connection won't get established. There is no need to restart your PC.
For people with port forwarding issues, it depends upon the router you are using, using bridge connection should solve this prblem on 90% of the case. Dlink 502-T is very simple to configure as it gives lots of options.

Actually connecting 2 pc to router is very easy, Nearly all routers can connect to PC by either USB or Ethernet port, So connect one pc to usb other to Lan from your router.
For more than 2 pc (upto 8), connect router and pc's through HUB and enjoy. For best result connect router to "Link/Act" of Hub.
Tested upto 6 pc sharing Internet connection without problem.

hi guys...

has any of you tried port forwarding in the router..??

i've head that it helps in increasing your download speed when downlaoding from torrents...and it never give a NAT error (when checking from Azuerus)..

is it possible to do port forwarding in the DSL-502T router..??

Thanks

Its posted on the 1st page .. you should read the whole thread dude ..

I have TriBand 590_NU 256kbps, Router - DSL 502T
.................................................. ...........................................

A tutorial - How to use Bridge mode/Dial-up Mode in MTNL Dlink-502T


I had done port forwarding .. Its safe ...but I am using bridge mode
.. which is better than pppoe mode
n no need of port forwarding n pathetic .. unpluging of adapter.
Better try bridge mode .. all worried will be gone

I asked the techi guy at MTNL .. when he called me, (bcoz the 1504 guy didnt know anything of port forwarding so he fwd the mail to higher people)
he said .. bridge mode is good ..as it doesn't need port forwarding.

.................................................. ..............................................

Step1: Open 192.168.1.1 in IE/Firefox

Step 2:

http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/5171/25mf1.th.jpg (http://img162.imageshack.us/my.php?image=25mf1.jpg)

Step 4:
now
Go To Settings
n
Reboot the router.

It will take a minute or two


Step 5:
..then in WinXP

Make a Dialup connection,,

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/285/37hp.th.jpg (http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=37hp.jpg)

Set Connection manually
...
Connect to BB using login name n password
...
Name it - MTNL_Triband
...
User - Tel No.
Password - CA No.

.................................................. .................................................. .

Reboot(not essential)
.. then Dial <MTNL_Triband>
you are done. :D

There will be no error in Azureus.

oh..thanks dude.....my mistake i did'nt search for it....

thankss

PS==>> but will my azuerus still give me nat errors if I don't do this port forward thing and the bridge thing u just told me..??

Its posted on the 1st page .. you should read the whole thread dude ..

[fazcorp_88]

are u guys getting speeds of upto 2mbps regardless of the plan i got the speed of 2mbps for 4-5 days and i was shocked since i am having 590 night unlimited but now it's back to normal (damit)

[rollcage]

oh..thanks dude.....my mistake i did'nt search for it....

thanksswelcome dude .. ;)
since you are new..I would advise you to read all the pages before replying or asking something. Its my own experience ... sometimes the question is already asked as in this case :D

PS==>> but will my azuerus still give me nat errors if I don't do this port forward thing and the bridge thing u just told me..??
Yes .. I did the portforwarding in pppoe mode .. but sometimes it still shows the error.
Where as in Bridge mode .. It works fine. No diff in speed.


Infact the most effective feature is .. when you shutdown ur PC, the BB is disconnected. I have paid too much in begining months .. when the router was not switched off .. and the day limit was gone in days :-?
this is helpful for Night Unlimited users and other users too who schedule the windows to shutdown. :cool:

can any1 plz tell me, how 2 kill connection tray application (MTNL net connecttion) ?


sometimes inspite of switching off router it doesnt go off ......... & hangs my system if i click on restart button ........ have 2 manually start it again .....


plz provide me the solution ...........

[rollcage]

can any1 plz tell me, how 2 kill connection tray application (MTNL net connecttion) ? I didnt get you what do you mean .. killing the application as far I know there is no application.

which mode you have - Dial up ??


sometimes inspite of switching off router it doesnt go off ......... & hangs my system if i click on restart button ........ have 2 manually start it again ..... you mean after unpluging the Adapter, its still running ?

[aniruddhc]

I got a problem. When I access the net via Triband 256kbps, I dont get an uninterrupted connection. After some 1/2 hr, it reconnects again, therefore, I loose all active connections and stuff. Then after like 1-2 hrs, all the router lights are stable and the net doesnt work. What is the problem and how do I solve it? Any help would be appreciated.

[Ankur Gupta]

Do u have parallel lines connected to your telephone?
if yes then that might be a certain cause for frequent disconnections...
disconnect all except one telephone that is through the splitter and then try connecting for an hour or two...

[ax3]

@rollcage ....... its triband connection ..........

sometimes when i switch OFF the router ...... the ICON in system tray doesnt go ....... & further connection is impossible ....... so i have 2 manuaally reboot my system ..... as restart doesnt work @ this situation .....

so i wanted 2 kill the process bt couldnt find it in TASK MANAGER .......

[Third Eye]

same problem is with me..the connection tray remains in the taskbar even ater disconnecting...

[rollcage]

@rollcage ....... its triband connection ..........


oh ho dude ... I didnt say Dial up old days wala ...

Read my previous post again .. I mean WHICH MODE ??
Dont confuse it with Dialup Modem 56kbps ..

So ..

which mode PPPoE ? or Bridge ?

>In PPPOE the net is always on as soon as you switch on the Router

>In Bridge, Router is on but the Net is on only when you want, i.e. after Dialing the Connection


..
@tech_mastermind


Yes it happened with me too.
it was the problem when I was using Router on USB, it sometimes hang
If you are have LAN Card .. switch to LAN, there is no use leaving LAN empty.
.. also check for spyware or adware
switch to bridge .. in that case you can easily disconnect from task bar ;)

[ax3]

sorry didnt get u ...... mode is PPPoE ....... i dont have a LAN card .....

any process 2 kill if it happens again ?

[rollcage]

No you cant kill that in pppoe, but.. in dialup mode you can,

I have faced similar problem, there is some bug in this USB driver
it hangs sometimes in windows xp, and meanwhile get a lan card which cost just 200rs, using broadband on lan is always recomended.

.. switch to Dialup Mode:D

connectivity with USB or LAN ?

which is the best or get fast speed .......

Its always .. ALWAYS.. always.. Better To Use LAN on Bridge 8-)

Thought mtnl old ppl install at usb on PPPoE,
but its recommended to switch to LAN if you have in your PC or Laptop.
and Change the mode to Bridge for better connectivity.
USB gives problem.

[eddie]

and Change the mode to Bridge for better connectivity. I am currently using TriB Unlimited on PPPoE mode with DHCP mode. Can you please tell me why is Bridge mode better and how will it improve my connectivity?

can any one help me to improve my downloading speed

[Ankur Gupta]

^^In torrents you are bound to get variable speeds...its only with FTP that you can expect a pretty constant speed..

[rollcage]

@eddie
you can read the earlier pages, I have also mentioned how you can do it.
In Short, USB gives error n hangs computer therefore lan,
and PPPoE or Bridge -
1.under bridge mode Its in your hands when to connect.
2.Most importantly you don't have to remove the adapter everytime to disconnect or reconnect.
3. You don't need port forwarding for torrents, just use port between 49k - 65k

@rollcage ........ thanx man ........ short & smart reply ............

[ankitsagwekar]

MTNL hass only increased the speed for those subscribers who have volume plan and not for all, so MTNL can get more revneue, so our Hon'ble IT Minister has lied This seems to be Year of fraudband than broadband, MTNL still charges 20Rs/ hr for 256 speed, check yourself http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm ... talk of internet revolution. Talk of plan with 2 Mbps plan giving just 400 mb data, its like FERARI with 1 ltr of petrol..

[Ankur Gupta]

And yes the Combo Plan in Delhi too has not been upgraded to 2mbps...
It was the most attractive plan by MTNL and many have opted for it and hence MTNL has been shrewed in not increasing its speed...

I was thinking about how breezy the MTNL conn is. I have been using it for 3 months now and I even forget my ADSL router/modem's IP address sometimes. Earlier I used Sify and in 3 months time, I had become aware of its working in and out. While there has been a big loss in learning opportunity, MTNL conn has been like coming home from the Sify's Naarkaa prison.

guys does online gamming also influences the download bill.
I think so.

[Third Eye]

guys does online gamming also influences the download bill.

Yes

[quan chi]

well this month my mtnl broadband bill has come too high.they have showed that every day i have downloaded a huge amt of stuff.i have 400mb free download pm.

but the fact is that i used to watch one or two songs in youtube of length about 4-5min.and used to play sa online.
but according to me that should not make the amt this much large.
so my query is does online gamming like sa multiplayer
influence the download.and how much.

what other factors can influence the download bill.

(well when we open an webpage that also gets downloaded i think. so will that also influence the download bill.:mad:)

heres the sample of my one day bill.

date/time ./ upload bytes/ dnld bytes/ duration

1.4.07 / 387569 / 2267483 / 12min.

and guys my ip address as shown in bill varies eg in one it is##.###.20.153
and in another it is ##.###.36.102.

but the tel no and mac id as shown in bill are same.
well is it ok.

[eddie]

so my query is does online gamming like sa multiplayer

what other factors can influence the download bill.Everything you do online and that means...EVERYTHING...is counted as data transfer. Even your chatting is counted as data transfer. You need to keep constant vigil on what you do with that small limit. Every video on youtube which is 4-5 mins should be around 10-15 MB (or more) so 2 videos mean 30 MB per day (or more) of just video watching.and guys my ip address as shown in bill varies eg in one it is##.###.20.153
and in another it is ##.###.36.102.

but the tel no and mac id as shown in bill are same.
well is it ok. Your IP changes with sessions. It is ok and not a problem.

register.bol.net.in does this site shows the correct usage?

[quan chi]

Everything you do online and that means...EVERYTHING...is counted as data transfer. Even your chatting is counted as data transfer.

[eddie]

thanks for your reply.well then please suggest how should i use the net within 400mb download limit. i mean if i dont download anything at all but only surf various sites.then according to you how much download it will make on a month. Again it depends on what kind of sites your surf or how much you surf. If you surf sites with lots of multimedia content and large pictures regularly for long then you will obviously cross your limit but if you surf normal sites for not-so-long...then you should be able to stay in limits. I would recommend installing a bandwidth monitor and checking your data transfer statistics regularly. Also do the same on the MTNL site I linked to earlier. This will help you know when to stop using your net altogether and not cross your limits.

MTNL is available in Delhi and Mumbai only.

[The_Devil_Himself]

Guys India is one of the worst countries in terms of Internet/broadband connectivity.Look at some European countries people sit on 2MBPS to 10MBPs unlimited connections at a paltry 10$-40$(~Rs430 to Rs1920).And even free in some of the countries.I don't think This is the right direction for India to proceed,I mean guys Broadband connectivity is the future with streaming videos and video on demand posing serious threat to idiot boxes(read T.V.).I hope the prices will drop drastically in Delhi within 1-2 years owing to the Upcoming commonwealth games.MTNL has proposed to set up wifi zones at some Important lacations and will provide high speed Broadbands(max speeds 2.4MB as far as I remember) just like mobile phones wirelessely.I can't wait.

One more thing where is that 2mbps broadband MTNL advertised so furiously .I have restricted plan and I still get 256KBPS.This is pure s***.

And MTNL is really greedy with no concern whatsoever for customers.They save a lot of money by hiring Neanderthals to sit and say stupid things at their Call centres.

I HATE MTNL BUT I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION!!!!

And anyone of you know how to have 2mbps unlimited plan??I am willing to pay upto 3000P.M. for this.I am from Delhi.

Please pardon me for my not so good english.

[ax3]

which lan card do u have & cost plz ???


wanna shift from usb 2 lan ............

[techno_funky]

ANybody in mumbai ,is your MTNL working good .I ve got a random sites ( read : quite a critical ones) not opening at all until I reboot the router a couple of times.

Wow 1.9mbps thats great.Whats your connection type mate umlimited or limited one?

MTNL claims to provide 2mbps to their regular limited MB user but I still get 248kbps.I feel like throwing the router in gutter.They charge a hellova amount of money and still give sh!tty speeds.BTW we can't even call it broadband at 248kbps.

[Ambar]

i dont know about the plan but my dads office ppl say tht u have a 40 gb limit to downloads..:D

[gaurav_indian]

^^ Yeah lol itne paise mein toh 4 mbps speed milti hai foreign countries mein.:mad:

i dont know about the plan but my dads office ppl say tht u have a 40 gb limit to downloads..:D

[anispace]

have the dns servers for mtnl mumbai changed or are they the same>>
203.94.227.70 and 203.94.243.70


coz since the last few days my connection has been crappy with only some sites working also when i try to ping the dns servers thru the d-link interface it fails.

[napster007]

i want an advise.

i've heard that mtnl has launched the night unlimited 2mbps plan. Now i already have the 256k unlimited plan. 80% of the net servise i use only foe downloading stuff due which i leave my system running most of the time. But i get speeds upto only 25 kBps. Now should i take the night unlimited 2mbps plan? it willl give me an advantage of good speed but it'll be a problem to stay awake till 12 in the night and then put my downloads. and also they cap the downloads in the morning to 1.25gb. so what should i do???

[Ankur Gupta]

^^With 256k unlimited you can download approx 2GB in a day and with 2mbps night unlimited you can download approx 7 GB in one night...choice is yours...

[gaurav_indian]

^^ Just two days to go.And we will have 2mbps yay :D

[napster007]

ok. i shifted my plan to night 2mbps. hope its worth the cost

[The_Devil_Himself]

ok. i shifted my plan to night 2mbps. hope its worth the cost


Dude please give feedback.I mean are you actually getting 2mbps?
ANd the service.

I can't wait for it.

[ak24]

I wanted to change my 256 NU plan to the new 2 Mbps plan when i called 1500 the lady on the phone me that it is not going to make any change its 256 Kbps and UPTO 2 Mbps. I dont know why but she insisted that if speed was the issue i wanted to change my plan then i better speak with someone who is using this plan. Could someone who is using the new 2Mbps Nu kindly tell that he is recieving the speed as said.
Thanxs

[napster007]

well i changed it for sure. it costs 749/- and its sept 1 already. well actually its only been 10mins since sept 1. my plan has not changed yet. i'll confirm asap

[prateek_san]

it will only change by 1st of september till 4-5 pm ........

[napster007]

oh....thats bad man. i was relly looking forward to this

[xbonez]

@ the devil : depending on ur location from the nearest tele exhcnage, u'll get speeds from 1.6mbps to 2.4 mbps (last mile connectivity)

[ssdivisiongermany1933]

Any one 2 Mbps on night ????

[santu_29]

what the bludy hell is this.. i am totally confused.. at 1500 i called like 7 times and every time it has been conformed that my plan has been changed to 749nu from 256unlimited. but the page at register.bol.net.in still shows my old plan and speeds are below 256kbps , the lady at 1500 says plan changed.. for change in register page call 1504.. at 1504 they say all plan related things are handled by 1500 including the register page.. so i am a ball now rolling b/w 1500 <-> 1504

[gaurav_indian]

@santu_29 wait for few more hours.:p

[santu_29]

[napster007]

[ssdivisiongermany1933]

Wait yaar . don't Panic ..it will take time

[Ambar]

yes speed also changed.....2 mbps now......finally these moron have changed it.....

dont you see...his speed also changed :p

[xbonez]

bhai, his changed the same day within a few hrs. its been more than 24hrs since i got the new plan and speeds havn't changed. in fact, only the plan name has changed since the 2mbps was all that was in the new plan.
already 4th of the month, and no change yet. damn them to hell for eternity

[gaurav_indian]

Wait yaar . don't Panic ..it will take time
If they dont know how to update plans then they can f**** %^&%^ :mad:

[Ambar]

well...whtdoya noe...itz MTNL guys...so lets freak out....cal em up ...as much as you can ....and irritate the hell outta em....i got another harry potter book for free after doing the same with indiaplaza :D:D

[xbonez]

well, u deserved it. they really troubled u over that one.

[napster007]

man its been 3 days since the plan came into action. my speeds have'nt been affected yet. the internet service of mtnl is good but their customer service might be the worst in the world

[ax3]

it really nice 2 know ur CALL is answered ....... i tried many times bt 1504 is always OUT or am @ QATAR ...

hey ppl ...... how much KBps do u get ? ....... i get around 21 Kbps only ... it never exceeds ........

is it normal ?

[xbonez]

i generally get upto 28 kBps

[gaurav_indian]

I have called the hardwarewala who came during the installation of MTNL broadband.And he has changed my IP Address to dynamic again.:D Hopefully he will increase the speed also.:p

[ax3]

so its normal ........... 21 kBps ..........

[napster007]

ya 21 is ok. but you should be getting 24-25 on torrent clients. and above 26 on normal downloads

who else has thier plan upgraded and getting 2mbps???

[ax3]

how much time will a 24mb file on torrent take 2 download ?

as on rapidshare, it takes 15min ........ just curious ......

[xbonez]

same. around 15-20min. but that of course also depends on the health and no. of seeds

[The_Devil_Himself]

I called the mo****f*****rs and fortunately i got a guy who actually knew there was a 749 plan(other a*sholes just said there is no such plan).He was a nice guy and told me the following settings:

In tcp\ip settings click on "use the following IP address"

Then in Ip address field fill--192.168.1.5

subnet mask--click in the field and default address should come(mine was 255.255.255.0)

dafault gateway:192.168.1.1




THEN again select "use the following DNS server addresses"

preferred DNS server---203.94.243.70
alternate DNS server---203.94.227.70


Then restart your router.I Hope this helps.

[xbonez]

^^just tried your trick, but it doesn't seem to work :( still getting same 256kbps speeds. i guess its some prob from their servers and until they do something, speeds aren't gonna increase
