Thread: BSNL slow speed?

Hi guys, i am using BSNL Home 500c plan from a week only.
My broadband speed is quite low (as 1.5 Mbps in day and 1 Mbps during free hours).
I have never got the maximum speed out of it.
And below is my maximum speed i have got:
I am new to BSNL broadband and i have also configured it manually.
Plz tell me the settings for connecting to broadband properly.
(I am inserting the the same wire of landline into my modem while connecting to internet)
Plz help me out

Just cheak your Router GUI web page the Upload and Download Rates. If it shows to you Download 2048Kbps or higher then it and Upload 256Kbps or higher then it then you are OK. You can set the ADSL modulation to G.DMT if possible.

hi,
You are not the only one getting low speed... there are 4-5 people with the same problem. i think BSNL is limiting the speed and there is nothing we can do about it...refer to this thread for other persons with the same problem
http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...ombo-plan.html (getting half the download speed in BSNL 500 combo plan.)

adi420 if possible change your home 500 plan to home 3300 for one month. Because this Plan 3300 is for 2Mbps not the Upto 2Mbps. So you can complain them about your port speed to increase to 2Mbps. After one month you can back to home 500 Plan or you can try with IP tv. If the IP TV install for your port the port speed should be increase to 8Mbps or higher then it. Do just for one month.

Did you get an ADSL splitter ?
Mention your modem model/make.

2. TCP/IP optimizer from Speedguide.net.

I think he is getting an average speed, and as per plan its 256 Kbps Up to 2 Mbps so it can be anything between this.

BSNL Average throughout INDIA is only 1.47 Mb/s

Just cheak your Router GUI web page the Upload and Download Rates. If it shows to you Download 2048Kbps or higher then it and Upload 256Kbps or higher then it then you are OK. You can set the ADSL modulation to G.DMT if possible.

I cant understand what you are talking about. i am a newbie to all these.
Plz tell me how to check my router GUI webpage.
By the way I am using UT Starcom UT300R2U. I have not set done any settings on my computer about DNS server etc

No i did not have any splitter. I just unplug the line wire from Landline & then plug it into my modem.
I am using "UT Starcom UT300R2U".(modem)
What is TCP/IP optimizer

@indranil
3300 plan is not affordable to me and there is no guarantee that they wont go back to limit my speed after 1 month....what is ip-tv? how much are the charges? please provide any link with details of ip-tv.

@cutehkrs
TCP/IP optimiser is an application to change
settings of Internet connection, to tweak for max performance. This application can be down loaded from SpeedGuide.net :: The Broadband Guide.
Better you do not attempt it NOW.

SUGGESTION
Since you have NU free between 0200AM and 0800AM , please ensure the modem is switched off at about 0155AM. The restart at 0205AM. Again switch off at about 0755 AM
Then restart at 0805 AM for chargeable day usage browsing.
This can be done automatically , but better read the posts here and get a fair background knowledge about Internet.

WARNING Your free usage for this month will not be the full month's quota allowed. only 2/3rd will be allowed ( for say 20 days)

ID's and passwords
1. UserID and Password to log in
2. a 14digit portal ID and default PW password

You will need your Telephone consumer number to check usage.

3. An email ID and Password to check
email with @ bsnl.in either at Outlook Express or in browser webmail site.

IP-TV: If you are interested in watching TV
programmes in your Desktop/Laptop computer Monitor, you can utilise it. Even if IP-TV is opted , your Broadband speed for Data download will not
increase

3 Ways to Check BSNL Broadband Usage Details

start ur computer in safe mode-logon as administrater (you can also do it in normal mode)-Click start menu -Run -type-gpedit.msc - Local Computer Policy -Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates -Network - QOS Packet Scheduler -Limit Reservable Bandwidth-set it enable which will show 20%-chang it to 0%-restart computer.
Even if it is disabled it will still take 20% of bandwidth reserved for windowsxp updates.so make it enabled and chang it from 20% to 0%.
this trick is worked for me and my download speed increased from 1.4mbps to 1.8mbps.

I have download TCP/IP optimiser from speedguide.net & it has done the trick for me.
Now, i can download @1.8 Mbps during Happy hours(2AM-8AM) but recieving same or less speed during daytime.(Other users in my locality are also not getting the full speed)
but is there any other way that i can reach near 2Mbps during day time or during happy hours.

cutehkrs what you are getting this is the maxium speed from the BSNL.
To browse your router GUI web page click on this link.
http://192.168.1.1

Put user id admin
and password admin

Can you cheak please what is your public IP. is it start from 117 or 59
you can fiend it from here
www.knowmyip.com

If you have friend and have router Nokia Siemens C2110 you can try with this router.
This router gives some times for some users DL 1.9Mbps.

adi420 if your port speed is changed to 2mbps or higher then it and after one month you back to your 500 Plan they dont change your port speed. The changing of port speed not a eassy process like changing the usears plan. For the ip-tv charges and details you have to contact with your BSNL customer care.

To increase your port speed for getting 2Mbps this is the only process where your port speed will be increase 1Mbps to 2Mbps or higher then it. If the IP TV available in your area I think it's better to take it for one month.
When your port speed will increase from 1mbps to higher you will get your desirable speed.

Same old story, don't check your download speed in any of the BW checking sites.
Just download a file of 40-50MB with a download manager(IDM, DAP, FDM etc) and post the speed here.

@indranil
ok i agree it may work but 3300 for one month is definitely beyond my reach....if i had that much, I would have looked at changing ISP to Airtel.....

Same for me too, I am happy with my Home 500, 2mbps and night free, that comes close to about 5 GB of download per night(at least), who needs more!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just schedule and sleep.

I am not even a fan of youtube or metacafe. Only surfing and mails cost me about 2 GB of my limit of 2.5GB.

dude the max i can download in a night is 1.8 gb that too with high seeds. 5 gb every night is great

use tcp optmizer from speedguide.net for a little increase!

Hello "DUDE"

Have you checked other threads for home 500 connection problems ?
99% of people get low speed due their wrong way of downloading and wrong modem splitter connection and problem in landline(joints and poor wire quality).

BSNL never ever clips your BW, this happens only in PVT companies. What do you think, BSNL clips BW for 10 people like you and gives good speed to millions of people like me ? I don't think so.

Can you tell me how you download your http links and torrents ?

http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...-dl-speed.html (2MBps connection, get 100KBps DL speed)

http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...ted-1mbps.html (Please help me guys! Speed limited to 1MBPS)

Please refer to these threads and understand that I dont have any "wrong way" of downloading... I have been downloading for years and I use IDM and utorrent for downloads. IDM gives me a max of 110 kbps with multiple connections for direct downloads from microsoft or any other server. The wire connections are according to the image shown. I have complained numerous times and they have even changed the whole wire from my home to their exchange. According to Indranil (member of this forum), the problem is due to capping of the port speeds. Several people have the same problem not just me. I dont know if BSNL is doing this intentionally or it is a mistake but I am sure that the low speeds I get are a result of BSNL and there is nothing wrong on my side.

P.S. I have attached an Image showing the speed my friend got today. He stays about 20 KM from my home.

Are you kidding me ?

230mbps ??????????????

Don't you think there is something wrong ?

See my speed below............

BW.jpg

Which means I can download at 32 MB in 1 sec, wow, that is even faster than my external HDD.

Does that mean that I am getting the speed ?????????????????

I would say no.

As you said that you are downloading for years, which means you should not believe in such things.

i find Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test pretty accurate..

I don't know about you but; didn't work for me that well.

This is less than 50% of speed I actually get.

puchu you say you have Home 500
Can you tell me what is the downlod speed you are getting during the downlod.
With Utorrent and IDM.

This is an old screen shot . If I get up early tomorrow, I will post my latest one.
