BSNL Dataone Throttling (Unlimited 750)

[linuxtechie]

Folks,

Had been observing this for a very very long time and hence decided to post here.

If you are doing your regular surfing then you would notice that you are throttled down to 256 kbps. However if you are connected to office network through SSL VPN, the speed just jumps to > 512kbps and keeps touching 1.1 Mbps. Now I know it does not help anything, but am happy, cause mine office work is not getting stuck due to low speed.

Your comments?

What does that mean ? Sorry to sound so noobish but don't office networks have more bandwith.

Are u trying to say that while net continues to be at normal speeds, the vpn access gets the speed it deserves..??

 

[Hacker]

That is very weird. Do you know anyone else who gets such speeds on vpn.

 

[Party Monger]

I'd call it very thoughtful of bsnl..lol

 

[techie_007]

LT, does it mean u can get more done in the evenin once u go home?

 

[ubergeek]

can i do the same on my pc?

Maybe your office network is provided a link to the net by bsnl?

Here in 0utf0s1s, I guess we use reliance and bsnl.

Are you trying to say you get more bandwidth than 512kbps if you are connected via a SSL VPN?

I agree BSNL won't throttle SSLEd vpn traffic but how you can you get more than 512kbps as your router is synced with DSLAM at a specific speed which is the max speed that one can get. like mine sync at 2048kBps/512kBps.

so i always get speeds lower than assigned speeds. it never breaches sync limit. maybe you are syncing at a higher speed than alloted in your plan.

Can you post your router stats?

Mine is also synced at 2048kBps/512kBps. During normal course of surfing the speed is around 256 but with VPN it jumps!

Have a look at the screen shot:

Nope that does n't have to do anything with SSL.

Then why doesn't enabling encryption in torrents boost the speed there as well? Must be a configuration error with your account on BSNL's side somehow and they have enabled "upto 2 mbps" for you but it only works on non-standard HTTP/FTP ports...

 

[Gaurish]

how come you are synced at 2048?, i guess speed policy is set to a higher by mistake. but then you should get your allotted bandwidth.

can tell your SNR margin & Line Attenuation values?

no getting "synced" at 2048 kbps is normal... i am synced at 2048 but get the fixed 512 kbps on my UL 1350 plan

sheesh I shouldn't have let the secret out!

I am saving money here you know.

[vishalrao]

lol, what secret?

 

[ubergeek]

welll !!! i also have the ul750 connexion so can i do the same thing answer please

 

[Gaurish]

Wonder why all UL 750 users are synced at 2mbps?

 

[vishalrao]

maybe the handshake/training/syncing setting is a hardware one and needs to be so for all accounts? and they change individual plan speeds by software throttling...

but then again, not sure how they handle the 8 mbps plan users...
