I took the speed when i was downloading file and also browsing different sites.

The speed is very very slow in peak hours.

Is it a regular trouble or happen sometimes? What about signal strength. If signals are okay, does restarting the connection helps?

yes i use download manger while downloading
i tested with 3 download managers and also with internet browser downloader

i am talking both downloading and browsing speed . i tested many sites together , i thought alteast 1 site will give more speed but no .
google , yahoo , microsoft site all loads very slowly in peak hours.
in non peak no problem

what u get is approx 3 KB (average speed of 1 hour) in peak hours , in non peak more than 10 KB (average speed of 1 hour)

Never knew Tata Indicom Plug 2 Srf was that bad......

@amit :try bsnl EV-DO service if it is available in your town is good although a bit costly.

Try to install SPEED+ software, avaiable on TATA Indicom's website. It reduces image quality to increase browsing speed.

TATA Indicom works on CDMA networks, so the speed will depend on the number of users in your area and network bandwidth. In case there are many users in your area who use TATA Indicom, then the bandwidth will be shared with all of them.

In case mobility is not an issue, go in for cable or broadband from Airtel. TATA charges for mobility rather than speed.

[dOm1naTOr]

+1
i think for mobility, Airtel or Idea GPRS is better. use a bluetooth module to connect to phone, and ull get good speeds[better than current one] with an EDGE enabled phone.

@mods
plz change the title to 'plug to surf'

Does restarting the connection helps? Try reinstalling dialer. Else contact Customer Care. They may tell you the reason for problem.

i uninstalled speed + software it is taking much system resources. also it is of no use for downloading files.

i think that is true -------- speed will depend on the number of users in your area and network bandwidth

than why dont they do something for the wrost bandwidth we get in peak hours

i search google and found that almost all who have contacted customer care , none got postive response and there problem is never solved

[ThinkFree]

Contact nodal officer. Only once I needed help and got reply very next day when I send complaint to nodal officer.

[AMITAGARWAL02]

IF I am able to upload screenshots i will upload here.

Try another browser

[AMITAGARWAL02]

i searched google and found even engineers from tata indicom cant do anything about bandwidth.

but nothing , wrost speed in peak hours - even dialup has double speed in peak if u compare this with tata indicom

Move to another provider. But in CDMA you can't find services better than those provided by TATA

[AMITAGARWAL02]

This is the screenshot for torrent download

it took almost 1 DAY 14 HOURS -------- YES 1 DAY 14 HOURS TO download 560 mb

i disconnect many times during download to see if i get good speed
but not good speed in non peak hours.

This speed is for all browsing , downloading files from other sites not only in torrent download

[AMITAGARWAL02]

many are complaiing of tata usb modem connection speed in peak hours
i will sent email to tata customer care and see if they can help in this matter.

[Xccentricity]

Dude I think your router isn't forwarded properly because theres no Green Colour Tick Mark in uTorrent.

[ayush_chh]

i have read somewhere that the speed also matters w.r.t. the distance from the tower.

further the tower lesser the speed.

i myself is using Tata plug2surf but i m getting good speed (10KBps to 14 KBps) and even 17KBps when using Utorrent.

^^Yes it does matter. But if one is getting signals at full strength, then he must be getting fastest possible speed.

You will find that the same is the case for almost all the providers. They will be helpful only when you will go to get a new connection or product.
