I guess BSNL is Increasing speeds again!!!

[gary4gar]

this is the newest rurmour about bsnl broadband, don't know its authenticity but its a very very good news if found true

The changes of bsnl plan from jan 1 2008 is

1.unlimited plan thats (900) will get around 512 kpbs speed

2.250 limited plan will get speed upto 4mbps

3.500 limited plan will get speeds from 4mbps-8mbps(all existing and new users)---may be they will increase the download/upload limit

this information is too good to be true
but thats possible

[nvidia]

Can you mention the source?

[Harvik780]

Yup they are testing my line and i am witnessing it on my modem page.

[Rockstar11]

hmm.... aggar yeh sach hai to Aapke muh mein ghee shakkar
aur yeh jhuth nikala to dekh lena phir....

[Faun]

hold on ur horses man
its too good to be true

[Ankur Gupta]

abhi 2mbps to de nahi paa rahe...4mbps kya denge!

[ravi_9793]

they are still to start 512 Kbps UL plan for home purpose.How they will just upgrade all 256 Kbps to 512 Kbps..I think this will remain rurmour for 1sta JAN 2009

[vicky_l7]

lol dont believe bsnl why does government setups are so loose

[Garbage]

Whether they are giving 2MBPS or 4MBPS. No use... I don't have BroadBand here

[kumarmohit]

Come On MTNL Wat Abt U?

[aditya.shevade]

BSNL is crap CRAP CRAP CRAP......

OK... that might have sounded a little too much, but 4Mbps Vs 512Kbps.... what the hell is this. Doesn't it get in their thick heads that the amount of data transferred in the night u/l time of the 500 plan is MORE than that transferred by the 900 plan in the entire day?

.... As I said in the MS Vs Linux war.... Why do I even bother.....

[clmlbx]

Hoping Such News From Airtel .............

[vaithy]

Speed alone don't solve the problrms..while GM level officers are made to believe, no waiting list now, but actually there are hundreds of applicants turned away in several exchange area in my circle .. I have asked one of the officer belonging to the exchange.and he confessed there is shortage of components, accessaries(modem,dslam card etc) and during the rain, frequent powercut, bad ups support,and many more problems to be solved.. their views is, without fully servicing existing customers, expanding the base will lose the customer confidence..It is better BSNL procure the components first to wipe the shortage..clear the waiting list, then go for the speed increase.. In my view if any speed increase may happen after April 14..

[gary4gar]

so one thing is sure, there will be a increase in speeds for sure

[The Unknown]

BSNL is unstable, unreliable, CR@P CR@P CR@P.

This is not possible with BSNL as they even don't have 2 mbps.

[Harvik780]

^^Very true.
Not possible on current lines cause they are unstable at 8064kbps.

[naveen_reloaded]

if it comes true .. its a bonus to all.. coz other ISP should follow or will be deemed....

hope this comes true..
paying 1100/- for UL 256kbps airtel....

[Garbage]

Today, I read in Local newspaper that they are increasing speed !!

But it's only for Business Plans..

Here the rates and plans are..

Business 2000 256Kbps(upto 8Mbps) Rs.2000pm
Business 4000 1Mbps(upto 8Mbps) Rs.4000pm
Business 15000 2Mbps(upto 8Mbps) Rs.15,000pm

I really can't understand what this UPTO 8Mbps mean ??

I am from Pune. And in my my area we have never suffered from low speed , unstable connection.. i am very happy with dataone.
I always get speed more than 1mbps.

[Tech_Wiz]

I also had a fairly good result with Dataone in Pune

But ever since I Moved to Chichwad the dataone Server is always "678"

ps: for non Dataone GUys 678: Remote Computer not responding

[The Unknown]

oh really? My friend who lives in Dapodi got a connection in April 2007. Since then he has faced about 5-6 downtimes that too each of about 3-4 days.

[praka123]

dataone is very stable for me and most in my state afaik. they are giving 1.7-2.x speeds for all users.afaik no waiting list here in my exchange,and they may give new connxns asap and the engineers are uptodate reg knowledge.
I hope they will increase speed to 4mbps and bw limit 5GB and best of all night unlimited starts at 12AM-8AM dreams ,a lil carried away!

Airtel 256 Ul plan:
Monthly rental including modem rental -->> Rs. 999/- per month.
If you dont take modem on rental..monthly rental will be Rs. 949/- per month.

Plus extra taxes..which is charged by all ISP.

And with that....airtel gives best support and service.

[src2206]

I have read in their newsletter that they are planning for this by the first quarter of 2008 (preferable Jan 2008). This was also published in local vernacular dailies of Kolkata quoting Calcutta telephones MD.

[aditya.shevade]

^^ Means that, for one hour a month, the speed will be 8Mbps... for the remaining XXX hours it will be around 2Mbps or less.... but theoretically, it will be 8Mbps .... x-(

In my area the connection is very good. Gets about 190Kbps in upto 2mbps plan.

[Harvik780]

^^That's not a problem for me either.


Problem is customer support.
