BSNL dataone

[sndpgr]

I have recently installed data one BSNL 500C (256-2mbps,2 mbps he he!. like I believed it:hap5: ).
Now the thing is the download speeds are like nothing I expected, its average is around 120 kbps in utorrent goes upto 200 some times.

Is this normal??,:huh:
I didn't expect high speeds like these and they are starting to well! freak me out.

It's normal.
Wait till you try torrents from a private tracker, 500+ megs in an hour

 

[sndpgr]

private tracker umm.. like???
And don't they require you to join?

 

[Naga]

Yeah, u have to sign up but u get mostly better speeds as less hit n run on private torrents. I mostly try to avoid public torrents as u r never sure of quality and authenticity.

Regarding info about private trackers, there's lotsa threads in the P2P section of this forum.

If you get full 2mbps from a http link(server might be capped), then your connection is not the problem.

be happy!

This is normal.. it is causing because no constant seeders...

Try to download from Rapidshare or any other with Premium account and Download Manager.. You will get constant 200+ Speed.

 

[_pappu_]

most sites dont have caps at 2mb...they are usually much higher... coz at college i get 4mb+ download speeds

and rapidshare premium rox if u can buy it

 

[sndpgr]

Thank you Guys!

with direct links I get around 220 kbps . This comes quite surprising as my friend who has a different provider and the max speed he gets is 40-45 kbps.

Well! quite a difference isn't it? I waited a month for the connection, well it was worth the wait .BSNL rocks!

yeah... it rocks... rocks even more when u have a premium rapidshare account hyeah:

Have fun and make sure you don't overshoot your download limit during the day

On a side note getting 25kbps+ uploads consistently for the 256k unltd bsnl here. Looks like somebody forgot to put an upload cap :hap2:

 

[Neotheone]

^^ good for u pal, you should use it well to keep your ratios up there

 

[Rahul++]

U can download from Direct HTTP's.. it will be better than RS Premium..

It will give u Maxed Speed on Accelerators...

 

[kauzy]

yeah... but the Direct HTTP's doesn't offer u wht rapidshare does ... ahem

BSNL increased the upload speeds to 256k for everyone when they upgraded to 2mbit.

 

[Party Monger]

In bsnl as a rule, the upload speed is 1/8th of download speed..

N what abt the billing errors...wat r ur takes on it??/

1/4th as its A(Asynchronous)DSL.

edit: sorry its Asymmetric DSL

 

[Party Monger]

oh ok..I've heard dis and well thats the speed i get too..lol

Still u got the theory on ur side..
lol

what about TATA? are they using something else or what?

FYI, they give 1:1 contention ratio

Adsl means Asymmetric DSL.That is what i know.Upload and download are usually different.It may be configurable from the service provider side for lower speeds upto 512K,i'm not aware.Do Airtel and Tata users get 2mbps on upload?

 

[kamlash]

so does bsnl cap ur download speeds like you tele,hathway etc or not?if so can anything be done abt it
