256 BSNL Unlimited

Download Speed : 40-50kbps
Upload : 30 kbps

[IMBender]

40-50 kBps on a 256k UL line? How is that even possible? Theoretically, you shouldn't be able to exceed a transfer rate of 32 kBps. And an upload speed of 30 kBps? That's like, I don't know, like NOTHING I have ever heard of. Are you sure you are on the 256 kbps UL line and not on the 2M line?

Pacenet 128k...its bad like spolit bread!!

[ThePaink1ller]

LOL dude im sure its 256, ive checked my download and upload limits too, dont remember the site

[khanak]

How about also posting Speedtest.net results here so that we know how fast your connections really are.

I wouldn't trust the sites all that much, you might want to check your sustained transfer rate on a 10MB download. Because technically, your throughput can't exceed 256/8 = 32 kBps, and since BSNL isn't generous enough to offer a 1:1 or even a 0.5:1 upload ratio, I'd say your maximum uploads should be at a sustained 8 to 12 kBps tops. I am on the same 256k Home UL 900+ plan as well, and 40-50 kBps just seems impossible. You might want to double check with your ISP as to what plan you are actually on. Were you on any other BSNL plan before switching to the 256k UL line, something like a 512k line, since the speeds you posted seem good enough for a 512k line in actuality.

im on a 128k line and i get 15-16kb constant Download speed...guess its ok!!

MTNL has no unlimited plan, only has night unlimited from 12am to 8am.

[nash]

Yeah like Carbon Core said, MTNL doesn't have unlimited as of now which kinda sucks. Either way, I'm on their Night Unlimited (NU) scheme for which I'm paying approx 850 a month with a one gig DL limit. You don't get excellent speeds with torrents but if you're lucky you can get up to 5 GIGS in a night.

[HundredProofSam]

hmm tata indicom/vsnl has an unlimited upto 2mbps connection for 4k....i was thinking of getting that but 4k/month is too much for an internet connection.....seriously, us indians are getting raped by our ISPs

got a 512 kbps unlimited connection for 2k/month instead

Which ISP you using? And do you stay in town? If so you're pretty screwed since all the good deals are in the far off suberbs like Vashi, Nerul etc

Last month I got a bill of 22k from MTNL. Switched to night unlimited after that. So yes, we are being very much ripped off.

[KrackChap]

22k
thats my 2 months salary

[HundredProofSam]

i stay in mahim so i'm f**ked from both sides.....im between town and suburbs

btw i have tata indicom/vsnl....but ive had all these franchisee connections as well...pacenet, exatt, net9.....their customer service sucks a*s....they just lease their lines from vsnl and pimp them out to us at a profit



peace

[Chaztin]
