Ok , here is a weird issue i am facing .
I have a 1 mbps unlimited plan from MTNL and last week , i was getting very slow speeds on my connection . The MTNL speed test showed speeds between 150-200 kbps . Naturally , i complained . They sent an engineer to check and he tried several things but could not remedy the problem . Friday , i got a call from them saying they had "boosted" my internet speed (?) . The connection seemed to be fine and i was getting > 1 mbps speeds on MTNL's speed test . Today when i was downloading a torrent , i realized that i was getting 200 kBps+ speeds . On checking the modem status page i found out i was synced at 2 mbps down / 1 mbps up instead of 1 mbps down / 512 kbps up . All good . But the problem is that my original issue still remains . Whenever i try to download a file through the browser i am getting VERY low speeds (< 20 kBps) , on downloading a file through a download manager , i get ~ 100 kBps speed while torrents give me ~ 240 kBps speed . The same thing happens over wifi and in linux so its not a virus / driver issue .
Here's what is happening :
Downloading open office in 3 ways :
Browser :
Download Manager :
Torrent :
The massive difference in speed seems pretty odd to me . Anyone has ideas on why this is happening ? Whats causing this ? I have tried other files too . The same thing happens . I have a Huawei HG520 WiFi + ADSL2+ router given my MTNL
