With ADSL2 + mod selected this speed
normally will show highest value/s.
Since it is not happening in your modem
/BB connection, this could be a minor data error.

2
Clear all temp files/cache etc in your browser.
As speedtest website is showing abnormal data and
consumes approx 20 MB for each test, avoid tests here
for the present.

3.
Download Ccleaner from filehippo.com
Check the speed in your Download Manager when you
down load the above program.( CCleaner )
4.
Feedback please.
Did you change your tariff plan recently ?
Will give other options/ alternate speed test sites later.

Hey dude, as I already mentioned, I have the exact same problem as you do but I dont get high speed in speedtest like you. BSNL is definitely capping the speed and I tried going to every BSNL office in my city (Hyderabad) but in vain. All they say is the promised speed is 256 kbps and not 2MBPS and I should complain if only my speed is below 256 Kbps. Changing the modem will not help because I tried my modem at my friend's place and I got 2 mbps speed there. So there is no problem with the modem. May I know which city are you in? And if somehow you do manage to get higher speed, please let me know. All the best

Oh God
I had planned to go to their office tomorrow *praying*
My city is Hyderabad

The subject is :
Why MT841 is showing Line speed less ?
Whether BSNL has capped the speed is not the issue.
In this modem only one set of data is present.
Which is independent of the speed of your ISP.
see in mine Beetel 110BX1 wait .....
This does not mean ( Now I am on Airtel upto 2 Mbps )
modem is connecting me
at 13128 /1319 Kbps speed !
Attainable rate limited to 2063 519 Kbps
I get present d/l speed around 100 KB/sec to 150KB/sec.

So whether BSNL has capped the speed or not Modem
shows probable limits of speed.

Any one having a Home 750 U/L 256 Kbps speed plan may
check and report please. I will change over to Dataone
and compare again( also 2 Mbps plan)

All technical matters are decided by collection of data, various
conditions/ parameters, reports etc ,
and no point in jumping to conclusions.
I have not committed to any result so far !!!!

Many users have complained of low speed
and after changes in modem settings ,and in their
computer have reported vast improvement in speeds.
( BSNL was blamed earlier as usual. ).

Update:0050 dataone upto 2 Mbps same beetel 110bX1.
Telephone line different, of course.

Attainable Rate and only the Rate are deferent mean. If the Rate shows below 1024 that means 1Mbps then the user get the 1Mbps downlod speed. Rate are mean the actual Bandwidth of Up and Down.

Untile this guy guesswhomsa1's DSLAM port where his/her ADSL Router connect set 1024Kbps DL to 2048Kbps DL untile then he or she never get the higher bandwidth then 1Mbps.

And other thing is that the account speed policy set in the Portal Server. We call it BRAS. If one person have upto 2Mbps but if his modem's GUI show to him 1Mbps then he nevet get the 2Mbps and if one person have speed in GUI 8Mbps but his speed policy set to 256Kbps then he never get the full speed of 8Mbps.

I think very much on similar lines.
Hope the JTO understands..... *praying*

And so its finally over.
I met the JTO today and he HIMSELF admits that due to other users (code word for huge demand in my area) the speed will remain the same. Whenever there will be users using broadband in my area there will be slow speed
Nothing can be done about it. I mentioned that I am a 2MBps user so give me 2MBps bandwidth and we will see about the speed later and he says nothing can be done about it and I'l get that speed even if the bandwidth is increased
So il sadly have to bare with this slow speed till eternity or until I move to another locality.
I seriously dont understand one thing though -
The places where there are low density of BB users, there is no BB / the wiring is poor so they will get slow speeds and where there are more users the BB is congested in BSNL... WTH seriously
It is still lucrative to me so i guess i will stay unless AIRTEL attracts me towards it (which, I must admit looks pretty )


P.S:- As expected I knew many more technicalities than him, even though I missed the n/w'ing class

guesswhomsa1

Hey guys
Since my firmware is very primitive, sp01, would an upgrade do any good??
I dont have any hopes with the BSNL tech people.
Either I stay happy with my present DL speed or do this firware stuff or get airtel BB.
The point is if by any chance the new firware further reduces the Bandwidth , I would be screwed.
one thing to note is that changing from ADSL2+ to G.dmt helped improve 5kbps, though the number seems minute but still there was improvement. So is FW upgrade recommended????

P.S:-I have DHCP server, My NAT config is enabled,EC mode, Bitswap disabled, VLAN binging is disabled, WAN, Telnet is disabled

Nothing can do from your side. Your DSLAM port have to set 2048Kbps for Download or higher value.
Contact with SDE or DE internal.

Can you try with another modem first ?

Or test in the Exchange itself
or in some other telephone Exchange line
( Of course you have to use the
other users ID and PW. .


Firmware update is possible, but if your
modem goes "DUD" beyond repair , should not blame us !
( Will work as a " Door Stopper !")

guesswhomsa1

K, I will check it out.

About the FW, I know what I am dealing with here, and I won't blame u guys
I am not one of those type , I do proper research first... dont worry...
