if u commit suicide over this, then it will be the most uyseless reason to commit suicide ever..

if u are serious, then atleast run over mr A.RAJA instead.
 
For all those who are not happy with BSNL and there is no Airtel in line of your sight, here is a little good news for you all.

Wait till April ~15th. No, iam not talking abt 3G auction here! But iam talking abt BWA auction!

Within few months of completing the BWA auction, you can expect excellent broaband services from companies such as Qualcomm and Vodafone(Vodafone is bidding for both 3G mobile and BWA spectrum) :)

So hang on for few months guys!

First of all, just relax. Everything will be alright, just give life some time. Your life is far more important than anything else, and more important than the life of many useless losers. Just hang on, DON'T die. Don't even think of it. What you are thinking is big can easily be sorted by the experts at TE.

You can change your ISP if it is so much of an issue. Or bring all this to the notice of the public and to the BSNL. Over time, things just may end up improving with BSNL for everybody at large. I would still suggest, just change your ISP.

Drink a cola and chill :)
 
btw.. that windows problem is also not solved , any idea for that ...

and yeah .. i have to assign Static ip , but sometimes its not working on static (its failed to identify network ) then i have to set to DHCP , then again static. this is also problamatic ..

lets wait for bwa auction .. then i will consider something ..
 
Just searched for BWA auction and saw this:

9 applications for 3G & 11 for BWA auction received by Indian govt

Eleven applications for the BWA spectrum auction along with nine applications for the upcoming 3G spectrum auction has been received by the Indian government.

Aircel, Bharti Airtel, Etisalat, Idea Cellular, Reliance Telecom, S Tel, Tata Teleservices, Vodafone Essar, and Videocon Telecommunications are included in the list of the bidders for 3G spectrum.

The list of applicants for BWA spectrum include Aircel, Augere, Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular, Infotel Broadband Services, Qualcomm, Reliance WiMax, Spice Internet Service Provider, Tata Communications Internet Services, Tikona Digital Networks, and Vodafone Essar.

April 5 and 6 has been planned as the dates for mock auctions while on April 9, actual bidding process will take place. Two days after the completion of the 3G spectrum auction, auctions for BWA license will be conducted.

In the end it's the same group of companies who are holding large amounts of bandwidth (sea link cable owners) and not releasing it into the market who are the majority bidders here. Nothing good is gonna come out of this as they will end up hogging the 3G spectrum and asking absurd prices for those as well.
 
Something which you can try for yourself.

1.Disconnect the adsl phone wire from the splitter.Let the main telephone wire be hooked to the phone only.Now pick up your phone and dial only one digit.There will be silence.If you hear some noise/abrupt hisses/clicks/kharkhar ... then it means your phone line is noisy and not suitable for BB use.

What I would do in this case is make 100% from my end that the connections terminating in my home are perfect.

So I open up connectors (the main one where the line comes in your home) and check if the wires which are wound are indeed shiny and not blackened/sooted.Nevertheless what I do is, remove the connections, polish the wires again till they appear shiny and wound them up nicely into their respective place.Stand on some plastic chair ok.Coz 50V dc is still tingy.Dont try to touch the wires with bare hands as much as possible.

Check the phone jacks which go into this main socket.Yes I am talking about the rj11 connector.Take a look at the shiny metal golden connectors.Do they look shiny or gone black or green ? If they have gone black/green replace the wire with new connectors.

Each connection in the phone line is a potential deal breaker.

Same way check all the wires which employ the rj11 connectors for the above.Replace them if possible.If you are feeling stingy then you can just get the wires to local electric shop and get a new connectors attached at both the ends for a small fee.

Now its the turn of the splitter.If your splitter is new then chances are its good.But if its more than some months old maybe years then open it up.You will find a circuit board in it with connectors on either end.Turn over the splitter so that you can view the circuit wiring.Is everything good looking and no signs of green powdery stuff ? Are the wires (on the circuit board ) intact ? And do they look clean ? When I opened up my splitter I found green oxide formation on the etched wires on the board.Which means loss of signal and quality drop.

If that seems the problem .... get yourself a new splitter.Either search them in local market or get from ebay (60 rupees they cost + shipping)

Final thing to check the connector inside the modem where you insert the phone rj11 jack.There are 2 shiny wires in there.Make sure they look clean and shiny.If not try scraping them with a tiny piece of toothpick or some small metal thing like a small screwdriver.Dont bend them.Take utmost care.Do it with surgical precision.

Now after everything is checked and taken care off .. the connection should be like this.

You can connect the router modem directly to the line coming to your place.But you will need to connect a splitter at all those places where you will be connecting a phone.Say Say if you have 2 extensions of phone...one in bedroom and other in living room.Then you will need to install 1 splitter in the bedroom and 1 in the living room and then connect the phones to them.

Fire up the modem and your pc.Go to your dsl stats page and check for SNR margin levels. For a stable connection you need Downstream SNR margin as 15 or 20.If everything is perfect you will get downstream SNR margin in the 30's.If you do you are a OK.

Try it dude.

Thats my first hand experience I am writing.That is what I went through.May be your might be same.

Nice effort there "SpaceVoid" but OP is on suicide mission:P with stupid broadband connection:cool2: He should terminate BSNL connection.

Just on a side note for OP ;)

There are many happy BSNL BB user, downloading more than 135 GB/M without any single glitch in ADSL link on HM 500. I am one of those proud users.

Home 500, is the best plan. the only problem is. Its good only for night. What to do during the day. 2-3Gigs is too less these days:S

BSNL Unlimited EVDO comes at 750 Rs with peak speed of 3.1 MB. Here in Chandigarh my many friend getting speeds of 1MB ~ 2MB on EVDO. Check your area for EVDO coverage.

I have used this service from march; when I didn't had a broadband connection. infact I was one of very few customers using this service back in 2009. its good. but at end of day its wireless and is prone to problem as like any other wireless network.

Problems:

1) High Latency

2) Signal Blackout: there are few blind spots.plus small antenna on these device makes getting signal more difficult

3) lack of constant speed. sometime speed spikes to 1.5mb and some dips to mere 50kbps in same session which makes it impossible for video streaming or VOIP.

Bottom line,

these small dongle type wireless device are no match for robust wire-line connections.

Sorry for OT
 
suicide in the name of broaband ..wow ! heard this for the first time in my life .You must be really crazy CRAZY :P .I see you're addicted to chatroulette ..:lol: (IMO video chat website for gays ).Maybe thats the reason why you want to suicide, when net disconnects ::P:P

lol someone this frustrated with the landline will probably die of it if they get evdo. far more annoying with poor speeds for torrents, frequent disconnections, problem loading webpages etc etc.

How can you give statement like above when people getting constant speeds of above 2MB on EVDO connection and do you think some one will face any issue with browsing on 1~2MB connection. Yes this may be possible that the person living in poor coverage area could have those problems. Even with GPRS on 3G network, I am getting constant 1.2~2.3+ MB speeds and on torrents 130~ 235kBps downloading. But I agree with Gaurish also that wireless device are no match for wired connections because of variable speeds( Not poor) and some other factors.

Hello SpaceVoid , Thanks for your suggestion . but fyi , i had tried replacing the cables (not cleaned the splitter though , as its inbuilt in my modem . i had also ordered another modem from ebay , waiting for it to arrive . will clean the modem connecters and post the result .
 
Today I was pleasantly surprised. The day before yesterday, my telephone was fixed and the issues I was having was resolved, temporarily. It worked in the night for 1 night and the problem returned to haunt me yesterday. Armed with the SNR and Line Attenuation nos. for the last few days, I went to the exchange at 11AM. The JTO who was working on my connection was embarrassed and assured me that he will visit my place personally in 1 hour. I returned home and he was there in 45 mins. He personally helped the lineman and changed the wire from the pole to my house and tested the line. He did this to eliminate the possibility of the wire being faulty. I have been asked to try the link tonight and if it is still not fixed, he says they will have to check the line at the exchange.

In my conversation with him, he said that it was the old babus who give BSNL a bad name and now, he along with a few other young blood are trying to change this. That is why he personally came to ensure that my line is fixed.

Executive level people in BSNL (JTO, SDE, DE etc), regardless of age are generally pretty good and give you problems only if they themselves have no clue what to do in which case they can't exactly come out and say that. That guy probably is going to get the older guys pissed off rather than doing any actual good.
 
vested interests

some powerful people are making bsnl go into deep losses so that it can be sold to pvt players for peanuts :@
