I am using BSNL 256kbps plan and am quite satisfied with the net speed. Had tested earlier using some speed tests which showed satisfactory performance too... test on BSNL site gave speed at 316kbps... / 798.6 kbps speedtest net..... gave: download speed - 0.27Mbps; upload speed - 0.32 Mbps; ping - 57 ms

The speed test was quite comprehensive .... however what i got as results made me quite concerned as it highlights ping time and packet loss issues.... can u guide how to resolve (test results in "" below)

Speed Test Report 09/10/04 19:11 - Full test

Test conducted at: 10/4/2009 705 PM
Test sequence: Full test

Please note that these results are a snapshot of this particular moment. Run the test a few times to ensure maximum accuracy. Although the test has been constructed to be highly accurate, no guarantees can be made to the level of accuracy experienced in everyday use.

Test 5: Ping times to east Asia servers

Ideally, you should get a result of around 250 ms (lower is better)

Apache cdpa nsysu edu tw: 450.3 ms
Apache cbn net id: 340 ms
Mirror tw: 452.7 ms
Apache cbn net id: 341.7 ms

This result is much poorer than expected and should be investigated.

Test 7: Ping times to central Asian servers

Ideally, you should get a result of around 70 ms (lower is better)

Apache cbn net id: 341 ms
Mirror tw: 451.7 ms
Apache hkmirror org: 278.3 ms
Mirror tw: 449.7 ms

This result shows serious problems with your ping times, and should be investigated.


Test 9: Download speeds from east-coast USA servers

Ideally, you should get a result of around 256 Kb/s (higher is better)

Apache mirrors hoobly com: 244 Kb/s

The results of this test indicate no problems.

Test 10: Download speeds from central Asian servers

Ideally, you should get a result of around 256 Kb/s (higher is better)

Apache cbn net id: This test failed due to a server timeout or other error.

Too many server errors occurred therefore this test is inconclusive.


Test 12: Packet loss en route to a UK server

Ideally, you should get a result of around 0 % (lower is better)

Broadbandspeedtest co uk: 50 %
Mirror inetc co uk: This test failed due to a server timeout or other error.

An unacceptable level of packet loss has been detected which should be investigated.

Test 13: Packet loss en route to an east-coast USA server

Ideally, you should get a result of around 0 % (lower is better)

Less cogeco net: 20 %
Apache mirrors northco net: This test failed due to a server timeout or other error.

An unacceptable level of packet loss has been detected which should be investigated.

Test 14:

Ideally, you should get a result of around 0 (lower is better)

Apache cdpa nsysu edu tw: 18
Apache oss eznetsols org: 44

An unacceptable level of packet loss has been detected which should be investigated.

dont care about anything you posted here unless you dont get proper and constant download speed

1.Use tcp/ip optimizer from speedguide.net.
check any improvement.

2.Mention your modem model/make. and
post statistics/ADSL data.
3.Speed is never constant and varies due to various
net conditions.
4.Your Tariff plan upto 256 Kbps is not sufficient
Max theoretical speed 32 KB/sec.
