Thread: desaster speed

Hello,
I'm Andre being a German and living in Pondicherry. Since last Sat I have the honour to be part of the BSNL community and my live became a desaster.
First here is my test from today morning (which was quite good actually)

« SpeedGuide.net Speed Test Results »
304 kbps down (~0.3 Mbps, 37 KB/s)↓
179 kbps up (~0.18 Mbps, 22 KB/s)↑
1024 KB downloaded in 27.578 seconds
100 KB uploaded in 4.578 seconds

Tested from: layeredtech.com
Test Link: .speedguide.net/speedtest/results.php?test=2176508]SG Speed Test Results[/url]
Latency: 332ms

But it comes even worser, right now I'm downloading Opera browser (one of my last hopes) with a transfer rate of 9.7 kbs and again that's not bad compared to the days before there it was between 3-6 kbs.
I'm having a homeplan from 256 to 2Mps unlimited (forgot the details) and ITI DNA - A 211-1 Modem.
Lineman has cleared my line and BSNL people telling me without a proper downloader it will be like that. I admit I do not know much about this techi stuff, so pls write your comments is a simple manner.
Thanks for the support
Andre

try DAP - download accelerator plus or you can try flashget to make the most of whatever bandwidth you are getting

you might not get very good speeds for the next few days due to some under sea cable problem in the mediterranean sea

you might not get very good speeds for the next few days due to some under sea cable problem in the mediterranean sea

is everything regarding the cable problem?
In India I always have the feeling it's regarding the rain, the wind, the moon...

you should be getting higher speeds than that. maybe there's some problem with your computer/modem/router settings....

that's what. My guess is modem, but I'm not fit enough to do adjustments without guidance. Anybody can help, how and what has to be checked?

So Mr.Andre if you see the other threads then you will be understand that show many user are facing this problem recently and most of them due to the cable fault even my download speed at speedtest.net 1970 kbps(Mumbai server) yesterday but for some website i hardly get 8-10 KBps download speed.I think your problem is due to the same reason(cable problem) so we all have to show some patience in this time.
just to try download from microsoft dwonload site tell us what d/l speed you are getting

it's about 7.5 kbs.
I understand that there is a calbe cut. My BSNL guys saying cable is n o t the problem and I got the connection on last Sat, so there the cable was cut and I do not know now, if instaliotion/modem/cable cut or god knows what is screwed up. Before I used Sify this is total gone for six (because of cable problem).

1.Any firewall in your pc ? then disable it.
2.Now describe in detail about your modem
try to check modem line attentuation after typing 192.168.1.1 user name-admin pass-admin
for detail check New Page 1
easiest way tell the BSNL employ to check your line

this is a different modem, no problems?
I have to start delete protocols as per instruction! Shall I?
I have no probs, provided you are another 15 min online!
The BSNL guy has checked my line in front of my eyes and everything is ok from his end.

I have followed the instructions, but still no change in the result, its still by around 10kbs in download. Any more suggestions?

I believe with this is proved, that my problems are related to cable cut or not?

type your DNS
Try to change the option of open dns and use this
preferred DNS 208.67.222.222
alternative DNS 208.67.220.220
to check DNS
start-->Run type cmd -->ok type ipconfig/all

I'm running on it ....

which one to use as preferred & which one to use as alternative ?

what is the default DNS try to change it. Is it any difference of speed after changing ?

Set preferred to be : 208.67.222.222
And, 208.67.220.220 to be the alternative.

I have 2 network connections: BSNL & LAN (as given below)

LAN (TCP/IP) settings are as below:

& BSNL (TCP/IP) settings are as below:

With the above settings,I get the normal expected speed (750 UL plan).

Should I have the same settings in BSNL (TCP/IP) as in LAN (TCP/IP)

If you are getting the expected speed, then there is no need to do any additional tweakings (Or this is what I think).

Please check your speed here : Tata Indicom Broadband - Bandwidth Meter
And post your results. This speed test is performed on an indian server at Mumbai and will help in getting to the root cause.

And make sure you close all other applications which use the net before running the test to get accurate results.

@ rameshjee
ur settings are fine

@admin
bad site, i only got 35 KB/sec

Check your trace route to : vsnl.com
You are probbably using an isp other then bsnl, tata, mtnl and vsnl as if you were using any of these then this speed test server should be giving you a ping less then 50 and on good days might come down to 15-20ms

I got 174 kbs on this site, but anything I try to download goes with 50/60 w i t h flashget! I have no expierence, can tell me someone if this normal?

It may not be your connections problem.
It might be the host server's problem.

If you want to really test that, download something from a fast server like Microsoft's.

I get about 250-265 kbps speed from such servers.

The site indicated that I could download at 303 kbps.



Is this one just our dataone's same thing.

Big trouble - download right now form Microsoft, startet with 100 kbs gone up to 250 kbs and back down to 5/6 kbs and this all within 5MB.
I used flashget, is this ok for test?

50/60 mean ? 50 KBps ?
mention your Plan if its Home 750 unlimited(256kbps bandwidth) then speed is perfect
I think the problem is from BSNL server try to download after few time

Didn't the download speed come down just when the download was about to finish?

If that's so, no need to worry dude.
That happens.

This is the speed I got on my 750 UL plan (BSNL)
