Plz read the last paragraph in my last post.

You told they give 1:2, now you telling 1:1?

yaa....I have 1:2 plan.
But I get speed of 1:1
Even more than 256 kbps.


When I am getting, than 1:1 will also be getting.

See ravi, ratio is something that you can never see nor can you tell what ratio the ISP is using. The ISP's have something called pipes running into DSLAM at the exchange. Every pipe has limited bandwidth which will be 2Mbps or etc..etc. Now when you share that pipe with other users you won't notice the difference till the pipes get congested.

Airtel use DSL technolgy.They use fixed number of connections for each line.Also they use piller/sub-pillers to reduce loss.

aAs of now, Airtel has enough free pipes and DSLAMs to cover up the the very low no. of users it has.

I think U have many inside news about airtel BB.

But when mroe users come in, I have to tell you that they are not going to increase the no. of pipes, but they will put the new customers into existing pipes to fill up their prescribed ratio and that's when you will see the real effects of contention. You can trust me on this and you know why

I don't understand why they will not increase pipe lines.

lol.. comeon @ravi, you expect me to not know that? I was talking about DSL and not cable. And DSLAMs are used only in ADSL/DSL technology. I just told I use cable.

Again, I know what technology airtel uses and I wasnt talking about cable. And could you please enlighten me as to what these "piler/sub-pillers" are?

Yes, especially when you are working with ISP's

@Ravi, I dont' know if you've noticed what I've mentioned in my previous posts in the BSNL query thread, so I will tell you once again, I work with ISP's, so I know what happens with them, what they use and what they won't use, so take my word on this. Cost is the most important factor and the cost of broadband management as a whole has certainly not come down in India.

They use this to reduce loss because of distance and noise.
Also, with this troubleshooting is easy.

Yes, especially when you are working with ISP's

can I know for whiich ISP you work.I am sure , you are not working for Airtel

@Ravi, I dont' know if you've noticed what I've mentioned in my previous posts in the BSNL query thread, so I will tell you once again, I work with ISP's, so I know what happens with them, what they use and what they won't use, so take my word on this.

ok , for a moment , lets say U are right .They won't upgrade pipes and all.

But, why are you caring about future.No ,one knows whats going to happen tommorow.

Think of today..today you are getting...so, be happy with today,Don't take tension of future.

And, in case you don't get speed as stated after say 2-3 yrs.Than simply change ur ISP.they don't ask huge deposit at time of installation.Just pay Rs. 500/- for security.And if you don't want to give that Rs. 500/- also..than don't pay last month bill.

[cool_techie_tvm]

@ravi Am also confused about this piler/sub-piler thingy in ADSL terminology!! Care to explain in detail? Pardon my ignorance though !!

[apoorva84]

this is absolute bull ****....who the hell would pay so much for broadband?

Hey ..are you using MTNL 749 plan.

I have heard that ..during its unlimited download time..speed is only 256 Kbps.

[Who]

nope i think they get 8 hours of unlimited 2 mbps connection which means they can download about 7 GB+ data in that time

[ravi_9793]

1 of mine friend told me..that he was using the same plan...........
But during unlimited download time..he was getting 256 Kbps speed.

[iamtheone]

[Hitboxx]

Madness Tata Indicom is offering 1 mbps unlimited @ 3600Rs/month.

[Harvik780]

^^Tata ke bharose kabi mat rehna,I have heard that they have very poor customer support and i don't even think they have a portal to check which plan you have,u can be easily tricked.

Yes man .. we want a separate thread ASAP..

Today I just changed to bridge mode on router page 192.168.1.1
.. is it ok ..

I did it bcoz Rapidshare says you are already downloading a file.
when I reconnect using the dialer in 2 secs .. I get a new IP
and rapidshare thereby allows me to download another file.
I see no diff in speed either in PPPoE or Bridge.
as for auto connection I have put Shortcut in Startup menu.

Whats ya say?
