that is what I am confused I was on 249 combo plan for 1 month on which you get DL speed of 200kbps and then I have moved on to this one, when I check my plan details it does show package has changed from 249 combo to Trib_Unlimited_512Kbps I went to local MTNL office and check ther even they said it was Trib_Unlimited_512Kbps checked with the contact centre even they said the same now I am in a total fix what needs to be done ........ please suggest
there is a difference between how bandwidth is mentioned in telecom terms and in PC terms. In telecom the typical unit used is a bit while in PC terms we tend to use byte.
your speed of 512 kbit/s will theoretically translate to 512/8 = 64kbyte/s.
b = bit
B = byte
practically, a part of that 64kB/s gets used up as data required for proper communication ( headers,acknowledgments etc. ) so you should be getting approximately 50 to 55 kB/s speeds.
I am on the same plan and get same consistent speed.
If you are getting 200 kB/s while downloading then you need to check your connection plan as those speeds are only available with the 2mbps plan.
You can check your current plan in your telephone bill or by logging online to your account.

dude, are you getting 200kBps? If so, why do you need any fixing to be done?
This happens alot, atleast in Delhi, that when you migrate to a new plan or get a new broadband connection, the MTNL guys at the server end don't plug your bandwidth. So you have nothing to worry about, just keep exploiting, cause its only going to last a few months.
Just avoid downloading majorly in the morning and coming under the scanner of the MTNL guys.
DO NOT WORRY, enjoy them speeds mate. I know atleast 10 people, including me who got 2mbps speeds on an unlimited 256 or 512.
b = bits
B = bytes
When ISPs say 512kbps, what they mean is 512/8 = 64kBps. One MB = 1024kB. So you download @ 64 kilo BYTES per second on a 512 kilo bits per second connection.
64kbps = 8 kBps
128kbps = 16kBps
256kbps = 32kBps
512kbps = 64kBps
1024kbps = 128kBps
2048kbps = 256kBps

Do not worry as per my friends experience the first month the user will get download speeds of 2mbps then the user will be given the speed which he has subscribed.
This is a marketing tactic from mtnl to let the user know that their line is capable of and after one month the user will crave for more speed and upgrade his package. So do not worry and utilize the speed for the 1st month.
