Thread: Is the underwater sea cable repair over?

Hey all is the Underwater sea bale repair over??i am getting normal speeds!

I think it is. No way to confirm.

Best way to check it is try speedtest.net on USA servers, if you get full speed that means it is over as the speedtest will not show full speed in the repair. and also see the ping.

I tried it, i got full speed, that means it is over.

Still getting pathetic ping result from US and Europe,even from Mumbai,125ms

Are the values fine?
I have noticed very high ping values during and after this repairs of the cable.
Please let me know what are the ping values normally.

This is normal. in repairs you will never can able to download from speedtest server at 2 Mbps.

In my opinion anything under 100 is great, 100-200 good, 200-300 satisfactory, above 300-a bit bad.
Just because you get a low number doesn't mean it will be great. One Half-Life server I connect to I usually get under 40 ping. Unfortunately, I usually get terrible packet loss. I'd rather have 250 ping and 0% packet loss.

Guys what do you say about this?
This is my worst ping value till now.

what is your plan, tech123?? wow you have such a high download speed. my speed was just 1.75 mb at speedtest.net

Ok then see my results:

Guys

are the repairs done? my speeds are still very low!

Any info?!

Seems like the repairs are done. Speedtest results are same normal. But browsing/downloading speed is even better than before. Youtube videos load fast without any lag.

This is the reason why I am worried.
Such strange results!

Its UL 999 1mbps. I am lucky to get double speeds on this plan.

Bsnl 16Mbps line


Bsnl 24Mbps line


Bsnl is the first ISP in India who brings the High speed Intrent connection in our country.
BSNL Rocks

I do not understand how to recognise the repairs are done. Earlier my downloads were running at 50-53kpbs but they barely touch 26kbps. This is much lower than can be expected.

see the ping in my friends house:

@Gagan and others,

I see lot of people with envious amount to bandwidth. Wonder wht plans are you guys in? Are you wireless or fixedline BB?

I am still chugging at 25kbps!

i too get 25KBps or something!

This is because we are on UL plans!

they are/were on limited plans so they get that speed!

And the speedtest isn't that speed we get in downloads!

You can

1. Get a limited plan and get higher speeds.

2. An FUP plan with higher speed and unlimited bandwidth.

3. Unlimited plan like UL 1350 + with decent speed and unlimited bandwidth


Mention your plan. Are you on UL 750 or UL 750 + ?

I am on 750+. Checked up with many friends in the city they are still facing the same problem of slow speeds. Is it possible to regulate speeds? I live in Tier-2 city.

The normal speed of UL 750 + is between 25 -32 KBps. If you are getting above 25 KBps, the speed is good. Download a file from Microsoft and report the speed here. There is no way to get more than what your ISP is providing. If you want more speed, switch to any of the above mentioned plans. You can also try BSNL EvDO.

But whole of april I got the speeds of 50-56 almost 99% of the time. It went down since the cable disruption.. cant seem to figure thsi one out.

Thanks for the reply though, would like to hear ur opinion on this

u should know that BSNL doubled the speed for a month i.e April!

In April we all got 50KBps+ speeds!

Now its back to normal!
