My connection did not disconnect for the last 6 hours but the speed has not jumped above 250kbps. Thats less than my BB plan of 512kpbs. :(
Also My location (as per IP addr) is still being showed as Ahmedabad and not as Pune.....

I am still not getting consistent speeds and the streaming is also very poor. :(
Thankfully my BSNL BB has started again...
@ mukulymn : which area of Pune are you in??

Visited the Yerwada CSC and they said that they did not have any idea why I was getting an IP address of Ahmedabad but promised to look into it and resolve it soon. Not very hopeful from those guys... but did my part...
@ mukulymn and other users in Pune specially Viman Nagar area... can you please confirm the location it shows in speedtest.net?
Thanks in advance.

Actually this never happens with my BSNL BB. Happened once with my Tikona WiBro but they rectified the issue and it came up as the SBN to which I was connecting was recently brought from Delhi and deployed directly without modifying the settings.
I never observed this issue before with my BSNL 3g... I use to have a look at the speed test result which showed the distance to mumbai as ~50miles. so I am bit skeptical on this one....

And U know what..... When I get the Ahmedabad IP I cannot use mail.yahoo.com and yahoo messenger... whereas with the Pune IP I can use these services. Now this does bother me as I need Yahoo messenger badly during trading hours to discuss with my friends :(

Can only hope this resolves soon as it has worked out for others.
