hello everybody

i am posting this message because i cannot hold my stomach anymore ...

i have UL900 plus plan and i am really pissed off from the download speed, it is giving only 15-20 kb/s i am really just ...............................i cant tell you how i am feeling!


earlier i have planned that taking an unlimited connection would be of no tension, 24 hrs online and i also thought that dataone connection was really broadband(i dont know what is the definition of broadband for bsnl) broadband hell broadband, such horrible speeds i dont know why this is happening to me only, as most of the users are satisfied i dont know how?

This is strange. I have the same UL900 plan.

I completed a speed test just now (25-Jan-2008 @ 8:39 PM) and here are my results....

as i have said most of the users are satisfied

and i doubt speedtest.net is fake, i have already gone through the test and it was displaying 430-500 kbps

check your actual download speed while downloading something from the net then see the results.................................

Ah! I see that you are not aware of those "bits and bytes" fundas. Call them fine print of the contract if you will.

Broadband speed is advertised in kilobits per second or kbps. We often read kb as kilobytes. Now you know that 1 byte = 8 bits. When we start any download, the speed is shown in kBps. Note the uppercase B in kBps, which denotes kilobytes per second.

So when you have a BB speed of 256 kbps, the maximum download speed that can be achieved is 32 kBps. This is assuming that the load on the source server is minimum. If the the source is very busy naturally speed will be less.

When we come to know of these facts we feel frustrated, betrayed, and cheated.

hello friend yes the plan ul900 supports only 30kbps, because its max speed is 256kbps as specified by bsnl,
my best suggestion is to get ul500 its upto 2mbps,i myself using it,morning 0200 to 0800 hrs free usage,u can get 200 kbps download speed,

trust me friend iam a BSNL employee,get plan change as early as possible

smartboy

it was my foolishness to change bb plan 4rm 500 to ul 900.
i will change to 500 plan next month.........

@player, There are some scripts posted by some excellent people here which can automate the task of reseting the modem for you. Just to be safe, the modem should be reset after 2:05 am and again before 7:55 am.

Download managers can help you in restarting where you left of earlier.

But on the whole, it is better to stay away from limited plans if you are a heavy downloader.

All the best for your Class XII exams.
