Thread: Slow download speed

I have 256Kbps unlimited download plan in BSNL broadband. Previously I was using Airtel 256kbps unlimited plan. What I notice now is, my download speed (in utorrent client) is very less in bsnl connection (avg of 11 to 15kB/s) compared to airtel (23 to 28kB/s).

Kindly let me know where there can be any problem in connection/router configuration

Bala

Please post your SNR and attenuation values.

Try TCP/IP optimizer from speedguide.net

If it is only for torrents, try port forwarding.

I do not know what is SNR and attenuation values. Please let me know from where i can get those details.

For port forwarding, do we mandatorily need a static IP?

I have searched the forum and found out how to get the details.

In Advanced Option under NAT you will not have
Virtual server/Poret triggering option with the new Ut300R2U
modem supplied by BSNL.
Only DMZ available.
Your computer's IP address is the "Pseudo" Static IP address..
say 192.168.1.8

Also try Opendns 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
Can also change Mod to GDMT.
Uncheck ADSL2+ in DSL menu page.

hi essbebe,

I have done what you have said. I have tried to enter my ip address 192.168.1.8 in the dmz option but after restarting my router all the default gateway is changed to someother thing and I am not able to connect to Internet.

utorrent is downloading a 680MB file for nearly now 12 hours and it is still going on at 90%. please help me.

Regards,
Bala

You do not need a static IP for port forwarding. Go to portforward.com, select your modem from the list. Please post a screen shot of utorrent. Are you sure that you have enough seeds for that torrent ?

I have downloaded the PKCONFIG, but UT300R2U is not there in the model, so I am not able to proceed further.

I have given the snapshot here...

Try this

Port Forwarding Utorrent on the UTStarcom UT-300R2U

There is no virtual server option for this firmware. so, it is not much helping.

Change to Bridge mode, all ports are open in Bridge mode.

how do I change it to bridge mode?

1. Start RUN type cmd OK
New window
type ipconfig /all
copy paste data here.

2.

how do I change it to bridge mode?

The little I know about Dataone Broadband Services offered by BSNL

Open WAN page and instead of uncheck ppp/PPPOE and select "Bridged"
SAVE reboot. Wait for two minutes
Now you have to use a "Dialer" in Computer
and enter UserId and PW to connect.

Thanks for the link. How do I create a dialer?

In the mean time, yesterday night I have noticed that the yellow icon in my utorrent turns automatically to green. but now again, it has changed to yellow (sometimes in red!!!). I am seeing that torrent speed goes up to 33kb/s sometimes!!!

I have 256Kbps unlimited download plan

1. Open Modem settings Pages.
Go to DSL Uncheck adsl2+
http://i19.tinypic.com/6kqygzt.jpg
Save Reboot Wait for Two minutes.
Feed back any stable connection ?

2.
Start Network LAN

Properties
Network settings Page

enter
208.67.220.220
and 208.67.222.222
Apply .Save.
Check any Improvement.
Feedback.
3.Did you try TCP/Ip optimizer from
SpeedGuide.net :: The Broadband Guide. ( Post No 2 ) ?
select "default" values, if you do not
understand different settings.
Max speed 32 KB/sec ( * conditions apply )

DIALER
PPPoE DIALER INSTALLATION

Thanks essbebe

I have configured the bridge connection. Do I have to connect to internet (through dialer) each and everytime I login to my computer? Can it be automated?

I can see that the icon is green in utorrent (port forwarded!!!). I will comment on the speed tomorrow as it will take some time to realize it.

Thanks for you help

yes thats what bridge mode is...:sleep:

Yes. To connect, you need to use dialler each time.
