all of your problems are of same type

this occurs because of some fault in the bsnl tower which you are using and signals which you are getting switches to GPRS or EDGE which results in slow speeds

your speed become good again when the tower will be checked for the errors

Negative

Its not any kind of signal problem. I confirm this for Chandigarh also
Either its temporary issue & speeds will restore itself OR may be we wont get good speeds on our 2G sims anymore
Right now all we can do is wait for some time...

hello friends today is 31st decmber and 1/2 hr left to celebrate the new year , currently i am using nokia 5235 phone with bsnl 2g sim . 3 months befor i had another bsnl no 9439 ***** but my phone(nokia E63) got stolen and i lost that number . after that i bought another no which i am currently using .in my previous mobile no i use to get around 200kbps download speed of any file .i was the happiest person because i use to watch live videos ,downloading movies and songs only at 274RS only . so i thought to get the previous benifit i bought the new bsnl 2G sim but in hell i did not get the speed ever after .it gives me only 15 to 20 kbps downloading speed . so i bought another bsnl no yesterday (30th dec)and the result is same .so i decided to check with my pc system and my phone .i formatted them both wtih no improvement .then one my friend who have also bsnl sim 9439**** who hadbought with me ,said that he always get the previous speed around 200 kbps so i put his sims in my mobile and u wont belive it showed the 200 kbps speed of download ,when i put my new sim in his nokia N97 and connected to pc it only reached the 20kbps limit ,i did it so many times with interchanging sim and phone but his ph no always have much higher download speed , so to satisfy myself today i boought another new bsnl sim .and the result is nothing same 20kbps .evev if my no and my friends no are 2G sim but both are providing different net speed ,...........

i check my downloading speed with IDM(internet download manager),DAP(doenload accelator plus)and utorrent.
i hope anybody have answer to this problem how to get back to the previous internet speed ..........................

Bikash,
I must tell you its not only you who is facing this problem, everyone is facing this issue who has recharged with Rs 274/- the thing is very much simple, BSNL has put a Cap on downloading for 274 Plan (recently), i.e if you download crosses 5 GB then you download speed reduces drastically to 256 KBPS that means you will get approx 30-35 KBPS of downloading. When you recharge next month again you will get speed upto 1.5 MBPS. But when u speak to BSNL customer care they will tell it as unlimited only. I have another sim of BSNL in which there is no plan, speed goes to 1.2-1.5 MBPS on normal usage charges. So its simple to understand that there is now a fair Usage policy on 274 Plan. No need to format your system or take new sim. Wait till BSNL provides any new loop holes.

i m using bsnl 2g sim in 3g set since 5 -6 months and i have seen my speed easily going upto 150-200kbps but in these days i m suffering from the huge setback in speed...25-30kbps is what the speed luks like!
2 months ago also i was suffering from this same speed problem but that was solved automatically in 10 days but now almost a month has been completed but there is no change in speed...please if someone can help me in this case
and yes another thing, i have not downloaded the data more than 500mb after recharging it to 274 plan.

i have downloaded only 500mb of data after recharging it to rs. 274 plan but still there is the same problem.......come on bsnl i m fuked up now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Arpit,
Dude, BSNL speed limit cap varies in different region since you are in jaipur might be they have cap starting from 0, it means your speed will be 256 kbps starting from begining, here in our region its 2 GB, upto 2Gb speed will be 1.5 MBPS now after which speed reduces to 256 KBPS. You can do one thing if you dont download much and normal browsing you do, then you can recharge with 98 and get 2 GB. Speed willl be 1.5 MBPS.

well i have never seen the speed going so high as u mentioning 1.5mbps but still i was getting 150-200kbps which was gud for me.......but now i m seriously sad coz of this speed downfall, well i used to download more than 15gb in a month but now a days...low low low low low
well thanx for ur reply, but yes i want to know that how do u knw about this cap, like in my city this is 2gb, in other there is 5gb???

hows ur internet speed going in these days man?
i want to know.....is this the same or shown some growth?

Hi every one i am yogendra singh

if you want to enjoy please email me on my idyogee1615@gmail.com
because i dont want to post it here
i am serious ..........................

I think BSNL has plugged that loop hole (according to a few of my friends who used this trick). May be at least in some circles.

hi guys BSNL restricted the speed on 2G gprs249 unlimted plan. iam getting 16kbps..and on gprs98 u will get 32kbps. so guy decide wht u want . and moreover bsnl speed is very low from week in all area

arre bsnl waalo kuch to raham kar do.......well in jaipur its 2 months passed now and i dont see even a single percent improvement in speed...sab landline m broadband lagwao aur aeish karo cow in landline unlimited plan u all will be getting 50-55kbps which is much better than our speed that is 25-30kbps.
we should thanx to bsnl that they have given us such a great speed in just 274 lol...........
well please anyone can solve this problem of speed is welcome here...

Hi..I m from Indore...from last 4 days I am too facing same problem. Initially I was getting speed of ~1.8 Mbps now only ~256Kbps.

All BSNL 2g customers were allowed to experience 3g speed and video calling... it has been temporarly withdrawn due to some technical reasons... pls stay connected...

not even god knows what BSNL can come up with the next day he wakes. 274 was working like charm and now its WHAT TO SAY the customer care told me it was a server problem but i dont think they even know the meaning of 2G or 3G and data plans

Hi all..
I bought UMG1831 thinking tht I will get better speed.....Earlier with nokia3120c i was getting 30-40 kbps with IDM..but now it has come down to max 25 kbps... i m using 274 plan..IN KOTA ( Raajsthan)
m very sad nw..3k investment...result nthng.

from the last 2-3 days its working smoothly hope this goes on like this

I also getting 20-25kbps from few days. Then I called to my friend having 2G sim and 3G mobile ,He also have same problem, Then another Friend having Docomo having same problem from few days, one have reliance having same problem,So I guess this problem from few days on all networks not only on BSNL so stay connected may it solve in few days.

this had to happen there are too many scams on spectrum

umg1831 giving nice speed more then 200kbps. But when you purchased unfortuntly network problem comes thats why each one have slow speed now. Do'nt worry it will come back on track within 15 to 20 days.

Anybody from rajasthan plz tell ..3g in 274 recharge still working or not...In kota not working....getting max 30kBps speed..
