BTW.. delpiero what to u think ?? what technology they might be using ?
I m here planning to build a LAN among my free computer freak friends (my follower)

So if that technology is not much costly then we can go for it !

Comments: I usually get a speed of 96 Kbps in the peak time i.e 11:00 am to 9 pm...speed can accelerate easily upto 320 kbps when using at night or on weekends...an average speed of 256 kbps is truth...i download around 30 gbs per month and got no problems...i consider it superb in comparison with the other connections mentioned here....the only problem is lines stop workin durin rains

[drgrudge]

^^ no pradeep, still i get only 14-16kBps on p2p only...earlier i used to 29-31kBps.

Just curious , how u check ur speeds? (at wht speed u r connected)

[pradeep_chauhan]

I am still stuck with low speeds only..but yesterday the same time i had download speeds of 27-30 kBps. I think there is a backup connection for Dataone which has low bandwidth, and that's why our connection is not fully out and we get some transfer...and sometimes when the traffic is less, we get boosted speed.

[khandu]

Hey raaboooo...

can we get a poll here too ??

cause goin thru 17 pages is makin me mad..

like that we can have a bit better idea..

[khemkarahul]

I guess BROADBAND actually means speeds anything above 256 kbps which is not commonly provided by most of the ISP's.
All these ISP's cheat ppl in the name of BROADBAND by providing a mere 40 to 64 kbps
I'd definitely go for the BSNL Data One only if it didn't have any download restrictions/limits.
I'm waiting till anybody strats providing 24hrs 256 kbps with unlimited downloads at an economical price.

I have a dial up connection 33.6 Kbps. When i download using DAP it gives me 3 KBps . What is the difference between Kbps & KBps.

[Vyasram]

also tell me how to reach that 1gbps in dataone.Which plan gives that speed and how much

33.6 kbps means 33.6 Kilo "Bits" per second. 3 KBps means 3 Kilo "Bytes"
per second. 1 Byte = 8 bits. Since your connection is 33.6kbps you should
get 33.6/8 = 4 KBps approx at peak speed.


If you really want ( if you have deep pockets) that you can get atmost 1Mbps in Home 3300 plan of DATAONE. As for 1 gbps, thats way too high
to think about for now. Infact, maybe such speed are available in top research facilities only.

Has anyone tried reliance's new broadband plans, i have heard they are quite good and best of all no bandwidth limit.

[mamba]

gud news 4 all sify users . i have a 96kbps connection . as u all must have experienced , afetr a download of round 70 mb after 8 a.m. , the speeds used 2 fall down 2 bout 3-4 kbps ( in my case 11 kbps - 4 kbps ) . but 4 the last 1 week or so , have been getting 11kbps 4 the whole day , even after that limit of 70mb gud 4 me coz i download 24 hrs a day

n that shitty thing that was going round , that after 150mb download per day ( ' unlimited ' users ) , each subsequent 150 mb would result in the decrease in 1 day frm ur plan , hasnt been true in my case e.g. in the last 7 days , have downloaded bout 4.5gb n the expiry date still is 12th of april ( ya thats 2day , have got a night unlimited connection of 256 kbps )

Guys
Tell me does your data one adsl modem get hot? I just happen to touch the modem after a few hours of working the top of the case was realy hot around 40-50 C i think. Do you too have this or something wrong with my modem.

[demoninside]

Hey Guys i got it today,
and yes i hv configured it on my linux system too,
it was way too easy.........

[gamefreak14]

The BSNL guys at my place say that they'll begin givin connections in two weeks time. I'd registered for the connection in the first week of february. Would I be eligible to avail of their 'unlimted data transfer' offer till June 31st? Someone please help me out. It's because those people at BSNL themselves have no idea of what they're talking about.

[icecoolz]

gamefreak.... I think that might be a double edged sword. A similar thing happened with enoonmai and hes really quite upset about it as he feels he is going to run up a huge bill. My suggestion ? get the conn sit tight for a month see what the bill is like and then take a call on it.

[ctrl_alt_del]

I second Icecoolz suggestion. Prof really dug a deep grave for himself. The best thing will be to see how they charge you for the first month.

[gamefreak14]

You're right there icecoolz...but that leaves me with just 30 days to avail the offer Well, something is better than nothing.

hey guys ... heres the answer i got on the mcafee.com test thing ... is this good awat ??

yeah..it happens with mine too. But it does not happen all the time, only at some times it gets heated up too much. I download 24 hours a day. Moreover i am facing a new problem. I am getting disconnected quite often, don't know why, can anybody help me out.

[pradeep_chauhan]

I have put a fan on the data one modem now the heating thing is not there. About the disconnection open the config page of the modem and check the folloing
SNR Margin: 31.0db SNR Margin: 24.5db
Line Attenuation: 21.5db Line Attenuation: 37.5db
if the val are low then get your tele line checked. Tele line problems are the major cause for disconnections.
