Hello folks

I am a customer of a cable DSL company and wanted to migrate to BSNL boradband. But I have a few questions answered before I migrate.

I plan to go for the home500 plan i.e. 2.5GB (256kbps - 2mbps) p.m. with unlimited access b/w 2AM to 8AM. I am a heavy user of torrent network and will be relying on the unlimited bandwidth b/w the specified times to download most of my files (using schedulers). So basically I wanted to know if the download speeds are sufficient* b/w 2AM and 8AM.

*My definition of sufficient would be anything greater than 256kbps

Can anyone (with home500) confirm their UL/DL speeds at night?

Cheers
Vzx

If you are after speed I suggest you get tata indicom 512kbps business plan unlimited which is I think 1800 something and you can download day and night

Unfortunately spending 1800 bucks on a 512 connection is not one of my options... So I am stuck with BSNL only for the time being. Just wanted to know of the avg DL speeds at night.

Despite complaints about the slow installation procedure, I was surprised to find that they delivered the modem the very next day and are coming to install the line today.

It depends on feasibility in your area,until and unless you see somebody staying near your house having speeds above 1 mbps you cant confirm 2mbps

vzx · 03-29-07, 09:42 PM

Let' s see now.. They have installed the connection at my place and so far it seems quite speedy. I will check the DL speeds b/w 2AM and 8AM and will let you guys know tomorrow morning about my experience

Admin · 03-29-07, 10:04 PM

If you can post your experience from the first call you made to the installation and then the speeds of your internet connection in a new thread that would be great so every one can know what they can expect if they apply for a bsnl connection.

vzx · 03-29-07, 11:34 PM

Sure... first thing tomorrow morning, I'll do that... Watch out for my post... hehe

Thanks for such a great effort

3 days into my connection and I still am having trouble downloading files. I think either Zone Alarm security suite (firewall) or PeerGuardian are at fault. I use these software for security purposes and am not willing to part with them unless absolutely necessary.

Yesterday night I tried to download a torrent with peerguardian enabled and was surprised to find that it blocked my incoming and outgoing ports... I had to add my IP & port to the white list but It didn't help. I managed to download only 5 MB yesterday night b/w 2AM and 8AM.. I don't suppose you ppl share the same experience.

So I wanted to know if anyone is using Zone Alarm firewall and is facing/used to face such trouble. I will try to add a torrent download with both peerguardian and ZA firewall disabled tonight and let you know if the download speeds are better.

In the meanwhile some of you guys can suggest an alternative firewall (which works) or a better torrent client. I am using utorrent at present. Azureus is out of the question because it is a resource hog. All other alternative suggestions are welcome.

Does this is only for users who have BSNL phone connection or any other person like me who don't have BSNL phone will be able to get the connection.
