BSNL to offer broadband connectivity at 2 mbps

[hard_rock]

Guyz.. My exams are going on... So I dont browse so often now. But my COMPUTER does it duty very honestly between night 2-8AM. Now after 2 days when I checked the status of my torrent downloads...Voila... All completed 100%.. I was shocked... So opened DUF and here is the screenshot. But now on checking at speedtest.net it is showing 150kbps download and 80kbps upload.. Are they testing the speed or already given 1mbps????

Sorry for the bad quality screenshot... If you can read numbers then it's enough!! Why waste Bandwidh?? You know its very precious at month end.. ;)

[aryayush]

Yea even I m gonna stick with ul plan even if it is at 256 kbps.Same here. :)

[planetcall]

thats really amazing. I wonder when other ISPs are gonna announce their competitive plans. :) When I was at home I clocked max 15.5 GB on my 256Kbps H500 plan :) I will test the taste of 2MBPs when i get back to home again

i thought of changin to ul900 last month, but luckily i didn't , h500 plan rocks

Yeah man.. You did right!! I think downloading faster at night 6 hours is better than downloading all time with slower speed...All my torrent ratios have increased due to higher speed. I'm satisfied with this speed!!

yeah i mailed sify about this.....but still no reply........but i think within 1 month they have to be in race,,,,,other wise quit the game.....its law of nature

happy new year to all of u

[NucleusKore]

I think they have already increased. My friends who were getting 30 kpbs download speeds are now claiming 100 kpbs

[planetcall]

I am using YOU Telecoms . I wonder what they are deciding and how long will it take for them. :)

[subhajitmaji]

The portal is not accessible at http://10.240.112.195/ for the last 2 days. Dont know what they r doing!!

I just checked bandwidth of my system at home. I cant believe over my eyes....It is 41632Kbps. I am flat dead. Missing home more than ever. i wonder what I could do with all this power.

[tanmoy_rajguru2005]

if its 2Mbps then its 8 times faster than UL 250Kbps. That means even if u download only 2 hours lets say from 6 to 8 am its same as 8 hours download in unlimited plan. LOL.
and also they have increased D/U limit from 1 GB to 2.5GB. thats enough for normal net surfing without download.

[webgenius]

d/l speed: 893.6 kbps
u/l speed: 200kbps

BAD.MY Machine is not so good and I have to pay my Electric bills too.

with ul plan u can dload abt 2764 MB a day, with h500 u can dl 5610 MB a day on an avg without extra costs

But that is only between 2a.m. and 8 a.m....there goes your sleep unless you have found some ftp which has everything you need or you have a RS premium account :D

[planetcall]

^^ Royal there is something called automation. You can automate your tasks :) I have reached to maximum consumption limit of about 15.5 GB with the pity 256kbps line on H500 plan. It was all automated downloading at full throttle for the 6 happy hours :)

Since most of my downloads are from RS, can you teach me how to automate with Rapidshare free account ? :confused: That could be your new year gift to me . ;)

[Chirag]

^^
You will have to buy rapidshare account if u want to resume ur downloads.

That's what I was stressing on...no workarounds for RS . You have to stay awake whole night if you want to download from RS during "Happy Hours". :-(

For people like me who download mostly from RS , UL is the way to go .
However for ftp/torrent guys , Home 500 would make a very attractive plan since it will be possible for them to "automate" the downloads. :cool:

[alok4best]

Internet for me means connectivity 24/7 ..not only 2-8 crap.so this 2 Mbps is of no use for me...coz leechers like me easily leech over 50GB a month...even If i surf only I will eat up 15GB pm...so I can only afford an UL plan...

[tanmoy_rajguru2005]

Actually I use torrent sites for most of my downloads. So I dont have to wake all night. And if I want other stuffs I usually do it from 6 to8 am.

guys don't check in speed checkin sites download frm some place anything like mp3 etc etc and let us know it will hardly give 40 KBps :|

[Akhil Jain]

welll ... ,

this is bcoz the server is not able to give all bandwidth to u... i mean the server on which site is hosted..


now try this ,,, try to download several things (mp3 or other) from different sites.. u will get speeds like 20 , 25 ,30 or so...
add all these and u know u r getting more than 70 kbps...
just try simulataneous downloads..

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...,

i know alll the site does'nt give the same speed tht we have but when we were gettin 29 to 30 KBps in every site frm where we download than yyyy r ain't we gettin it now ...

atleast we suld get more than 80 KBps continuosly as its 8 time more tht means 30 X 8 KBps = 240KBps but i wuld be satisfy if i wuld get atleast more than 80 KBps :|

[Charley]

My speed remains is still less than 20 kpbs. No change for me.

[dotcommakers]

minimum speed in all plans increased from 256kbps to 2mbps in gujarat from this month 1 jan 2007

but there is catch.. actully this offer is kinda misleading.. they are providing 256kbps upto 2mpbs not 2mbps fix!!!!

and no upgradation in home unlimited plans they will have 256kbps as same as before

they have done a kinda joke

[Ricky]

dotcommakers:
I think I can give you explanation for that "256 kbps to 2 mbps speed or rather upto 2mbps speed".

It simply means (which is so common in developed countries) that you now have 2mbps connection but its being shared among users ..ie. You are on 2mbps shared line. And 256 kpbs - uppto 2mbps means that 256 is something similar that you have your own dedicated sort of allotted and I think yes its dedicated to you and this is the reason that they are short of new connection becas they only give connection on the basis of capacity ie. if on Tele.exchange is capable of 500 connection then they wont give more than 500 connection and its the reason we used to get full speed all the tiem but I think after this 2mbps thingi.. now its declined as we are now on shared ssytem fora while .!

[dotcommakers]

i think 256kbps is better than 2mpbs shared?

[tinku dhar]

i think 256kbps is better than 2mpbs shared?

i don't think sooooooooooooooo we can see the speed atleast lil bit more now :)

[Ricky]

why they will charge for night unlimited ...if its night unlimited???????? :@

Someone already mentioned it but I want to mention again that I read some where officialy that if you want night as ie 2am as free then reconnect somwhere after 2:00 am ie. dont continue any session started earlier to 2:00 am otherwise will be counted in alloted bandwidth.

FYI .. I am home 900 UL PLUS !

But that was only once.. donno how !
I am still in processing of checking but .. heck.. its back 256 !
__________
Ok its damn $ucking that I on speedtest.net I am getting around 1mbps download (I am 900UL user) only for the server located in Singapore !!
All other server are giving bad tests..

And.. torrent is also giving average of 256kbps .. which means I am still geting 256kbps only and for singapore test server.. somehow more aournd 1 mbps !

[cool_dude_prav]

OMG...

seems like I am the only person here to get below par speeds :(

i am still stuck around the 512kbps mark... wonder why?!?!?!?!?!?

I am getting an amazing speed of 800kbps+ on my 900 Unlimited account.
here is my results in attachment.

[s18000rpm]

for guys on UL 900

It doesnt matter how much speed those sites show for your connection, what matters is are you able to download something at that speed.

i too thought my UL900 speed was upgraded, but when i downloaded a 10MB file, the d/l speed was hovering at 23-27Kbps, i tried downloading mod files from various sites (one @ a time), but could not even get the usual 30kbps.

as far as my experience with UL900 in this 3 days of new Year, my Broadband speed's downgraded. :(

ditto, dont post speeds from various speedtest sites, downoad something from like from MS site or whatever big org, and then post what download speed you are getting. I get 219-220KBps .

[XtremeFuturistic]

CMON GUYS, BSNL SAYS ACC. TO NEW PLAN, THE FREE DWONLOADS TIME TIME HAS BEEN INCREASED FROM LIKE 2am TO 8am BEFORE -> SOME 10-12 HOURS, I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT TIMES.

WHO CAN VERIFY THAT NOW ??

n IF THATs TRUE, ALL U GUYS WITH 500 RS. PLAN WUD BE ROCKIN THE EARTH , AREnt U ?????

[mail2and]

ditto, dont post speeds from various speedtest sites, downoad something from like from MS site or whatever big org, and then post what download speed you are getting. I get 219-220KBps .

Yup. The most accurate test is Microsoft/Download.com servers. A lot of speed test sites are inaccurate. For instance, sites like speedtest.net, testmy.net estimate my connection's speed as only 50-60 Kbps. However, I get perfect 240 kbps(30 kB/s) while downloading from MS servers. Even torrents average around 28 kB/s downloads and 25 kB/s uploads.

[Charley]

I get 219-220KBps .


You mean on downloads and uploads ?

[Ricky]

I am also on UL 900
Its seems that now we are not even getting 256kbps ..
Speedtest.net is accurate site as per my experience only problem I feel is that singapore server test server is not capped somwhow by bsnl .

[planetcall]

your speed also depends on the remote servers and the distances and the hops. So you need to have an average of a few speed tests. I believe speedtest.net is quite good as it provides many servers to test yr speed. Do 5 tests and take an average. That would be good enough

[subhajitmaji]

i reside in kolkata & hence use to test the speed from calcuttatelephones site
http://www.calcuttatelephones.com/bandwidthmeter/initialmeter.php

I know that but test from singapore server is giving around 1000kbps whereas other servers are giving below expected ie. around 150kbps ! and downloads are also arnd same ie. slower.
It means something with singapore server !

Site is alright , only problem is that bcz of firefox and opera's caching algo, it gives misleading results after first test.

Try this on IE 6 and you will get almost accurate result bcz IE 6 is dumb in caching but useful here

[Taran0000]

Ok here is my experiance after 30 dec.
I mostly play online games on BB. i m using 900 plan, Bsnl from last 6 months On 30 dec. i got slow surfing and downloading speed but my ping was ok as it was before. The problem got worsed on 3 jan, 4 jan, 5 jan (i nearly got 65 Kbps) but still ping seems ok. Now from 5 jan i m getting more than 150 Kbps but WTF ping goes over 1000. I never saw ping over 1000 +. But still im not getting anywhere near to 256Kbps. As usual i complaint them but no effect. Between i dont see any plus point of increasing speed to 2Mbps for other plans.

Can u guys plss put ping result from this I.P. 62.189.19.246

Cuz i wanted to make sure it isnt only mine problem.

THX
**** BSNL

[tarey_g]

^^
i am getting 333 ping on that ip.

btw , this may fix your problem.

First upgrade your modem firmware to the latest. I have MT880 modem , i upgraded the firmware and did the following settings which provided a better ping rate. If you already have the latest firmware then apply these settings too.

Open your modem seetings by typing this ip 192.168.1.1 in the web browser.(usrnm pass : admin,admin)
click on advanced>>ADSL settings
You can see the following ADSL modulation setting options here
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6506/liudd0.jpg

I tried out every option and got th following ping results

The pings (for my Dataone gateway) i got for each ADSL modulation settings are as follows :

On ADSL2+ and ADSL2 44-52 ms
On T1.413 and G.DMT 48-64 ms
On Glite 25-35 ms
Multimode is G.DMT

Result suggests that Glite provides the least ping.

[praka123]

^^ I'm on home 500 plan and got MT 880 modem.for me the best result is with ADSL2+ unlike G.lite.

@aryayush
are u preparing to change ur 900 plan from next month?

[aryayush]

Nope. I am too lazy to bother sceduling my downloads to happen during the night. Plus, my internet connection is on 24/7, so at a speed of 2 Mbps, I would definitely cross the measly 2.5 GB even if I did the bulk of the downloading in the happy hours. And to top it off, there is the very real concern of there being some error in BSNL's calculation system. Even if they mess up one single night, the extra charge for that single night's worth of downloading would kill me. :D

All my frnds of Kolkata r also confirming that the site dont have any problems

[tinku dhar]

subhajit .. ,

Good work ... but still i don't think its sooo neways nice work :)

[planetcall]

Yes the site returns correct results. I tested and it shows 191.7 Kbps, my ISP provides 192kbps :)

[praka123]

Calcuttaphones site is correct and btw i think visualware BB Meter is better!

http://myspeed.visualware.com/


am getting an avg reading of 1.57 mbps

[alok4best]

[blue]any site will return perfect results if it uses a decent amount of data..sites who send too little data tend to produce wrong results...u can try http://2wire.com also...or there is a nice extension for firefox also named
"Broadband Speed Test And Diagnostics"...I tried this extension and felt that it gives almost perfect result...

However the best possible way to test is download some file from a fast server like Microsoft,Cnet and likes using DAP with full acceleration enabled. dnt use any other application alongside and let DAP suck how much it can...It surely gives a perfect idea of ur speed...Limewire is another such tool which sucks highest possible speed if a decent number of peers are sharing some file...

My 900 Plus Unlimited plan is gettin 256 kbps and not 2 mbps and i think thats the case with all Unlimited plan users , right ?

[Mangal Pandey]

may be its time that we should start an online campaign complaining the partiality employed BSNL ppl.

[arunks]

i have 250 plan and 5 mins before i got download speed in idm 257KB/sec

now i believe bsnl really provided 2 MBps support

[tinku dhar]

250 Plan users try not to download too many stuff..or esle all ur happiness of higher speeds will get converted into a horrific bill at the end of the month. even 500 plan guys shud be caefull and try to use 2-8 slot..

[rahul_becks23]

haaaahahheeee , maybe they were sleepin all these days.......( guess who's back again )

[cool_dude_prav]

hey, is the option of paying Rs.75 pm extra to get 2-8 unlimited still available for 250-home plan users?

[arunks]

hey it really existed before???????

if yes i m ready to pay rs 75 pm..

but i do not think its possible as 250+75=325

then why will they provide it as 500 plan exists

[Ashis]

For More download in the Chargeable time! :D

But I really doubt that there was any plan for getting 2-8 unlimited for a extra Rs 75/-

[alok4best]

Yeah..something like this was offered by chennai telecom(nowhere else in India)...dnt knw if it still exists..

[Rockstar11]

Thats the SPIRIT OF A DOWNLOADER...Same here...Lets SUCK THE BSNL's BANDWIDTH...(and Rapidshare's too ;) )

yeahhhhh yepppeeeeee lolllzzzzzzzzzzz :)

[emailaatif786]

I am BSNL DataOne Home 250 User, (256 Kbps) in Srinagar. BSNL says I have been upgraded to 2 MBps, but my speed has deteriorated even further. I used to get a decent speed of 200-250 kbps any time during the day/night. Now I get only 150-165 kbps.
Then, are they lying.

but the thing is tht they said 256 KBps to 2 MBps tht means the speed will be between 30 KBps to 215 KBps :)

Sooo thts wat BSNL r upto and they r Not lyin u :)

[agnels]

I think Broadband is only for people living in cities as I who live in a happening coastal village of Goa still don't have broadband connectivity.. What a shame..in spite Goa having one of the highest tele density in India. When will whole Goa get connected???????????????

[tinku dhar]

God Knows lol

hehehe nothing to do mayn :|

[47shailesh]

[47shailesh]

[gary4gar]

Dude i have already looked there... my city not listed there...
then its not available!:D
i think there u can get MTNL
if there mtnl then there is no chance of bsnl ever comming there

[Josan]

Good But ,remember that BSNl broadband is yet not avaiable in the villages ,,,so for me 2mb is not going to make any imact on my life!

[pantheratigris]

Even Tata Indicom(VSNL) has upgraded all its users to upto 2mbps for free. Especially volume based plans. Though I never get full 2mbps but I do always get above 1Mbps all the time. Thisi is the speed test result:

Don't know about Hyd but its true for my city Jaipur(Rajasthan)
i am in waiting list for 2 months still no chance of getting a connection due to unavailablity of ports

[desai_amogh]

airtel is the best as i used it for a couple of months..
i also find Tata Indiacom good i used the 64kbps 6months on & on plan & downloaded around 25 GB of data.. it costed me 3200 rs.. i find tht cool

[cool_dude_prav]

BSNL had stopped giving new connections since Jan 2007 due to unavailability of modems...

New connections are now being given from June 1st. My friend has applied and gotten it last week.

I dunno... but last heard, they have resumed giving connections...

i am brought a modem myself but still........

[CINTEL ENTRINO]

really.... broadband in india is pathetic {to say the least}

hav u guys read the aricle "India Unplugged" on pg. 32 In this month's issue of digit.... i think it reflects the truth completely.

The Last sentence Is truly Defining.

[abhishek_del]

Well what MTNL and BSNL are doing is they are providing great speeds at around 1 mbps above but they have dload caps....
Now ppl get tremendous speeds and forget about the caps and exceed their limits and pay extravagant charges...This will hit MTNL big time later...
They think they can survive by fooling people.

For unlimited connections they have 256 kbps unlimited priced at around 1000 INR. and don't even think of 512 or 1mb they are way above normal users limits....

Airtel is good..You can get a 256 kbps connection at around same cost as MTNL but truly amazing service..of course the downside is that you have to get their landline also...(I am talking about Delhi in this para)

I suggest go for airtel

[AMITAGARWAL02]

is there any unlimited download package for bsnl and if yes at what speed and at what price. or any night plan for downloading

[Charan]

^^All details available here (http://bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm) .
Please use the search before you post.

There is no unlimited plan with 2 MBPS but is available @256Kbps for Rs. 900.
All home plans other than HOME 250 has unlimited free downloads from 2AM to 8 AM ( speeds are 2MBPS )
