These spikes in speed happen sometimes.
A while back, everyday for halp an hour, I used to get 2 mbps download speed.
Once, for 10 minutes I got 2.5 MB/s upload (equivalent to ~16 Mbps) speed

They must be doing some sort of meddling with the DSLAM. Enjoy the speeds while it lasts

wow u r one lucky chap... i think the boost was there for quite some time and i hadn't discovered it; partly because there's nothing left for me to download ... i've got everything i wanted... there are just the 3 shows that i get and those are available on thursday...


hey i reset the router and the speed boost is there again!!!!!



the LAN data light's glowing near constantly on the comp now ... added 4torrs... see what i can extract out of it.

lol... it went away just now, and restarted router again and again it came back

It has to do something with technical details. It happens when companies make changes in their DSLM at their end. And they dont care if some bandwith is lost to customers as its very much cheap for them.

But BSNL is government entity so has to answer to them if these things happen and they believe in giving nothing for free. Lol

The boost ended that morning itself, but i am happy i downloaded around 8Gb. Hope it comes again fast

Many subscribers of BSNL has also reported the same when they are being migrated to the new NIB 2 network. I personally know two subscribers in Kolkata who enjoyed 8mbps for two months.

But all will agree that Airtel is only the service provider where theses kinds of boost are common. and in last 1 year or so it had occured to me for 5-6 times
