Hi ,

Please post your AVERAGE night unlimited plan speed here (2am to 8am speeds only).


NOTE: Vote is in kbps (kilo bits per second)

1 kBps (kilo Bytes per second)= 8 kbps (kilo bits per second)

example,
32 kBps = 256kbps


Thanks a Ton

Nearly 50% get speeds less than 800 kbps? This doesn't look good.

I used to enjoy 1800+ kbps speeds. But lately i am getting only 1200~1400 kbps.

superprash2003

i gues 1600-1800kbps

I recently converted my plan to 500 combo plan from unlimited to try and download all my downloads during the free nighttime unlimited plan. But with the poll result here, i wonder i have made a mistake, with such slow speed, i could even hardly download a movie during this time period.

When You Download a movie It works out To Be the number of Persons Who are willing to share their downloaded movie with other users so the download speed willnt be constant but i think BSNL Speed is very good (2 mbps) You Must & should get average speed of 170kbytes/Sec This is My Guarantee as I am with Bsnl For close to 4 years.

Thank god good to hear such good words, as i had changed my plan from unlimited to 500 combo recently to avail this night unlimited as the speeds for unlimited plan was so less that i had to opt out of it. Now, i am going to do all my downloads during 2 to 8 at night!

parshanth

TANMAY

parshanth

How do you manage to get those speeds........... have got 205-212 kbytes/sec maximum all time............... people someone has to help............. I have airtel 256kbps Unlmted & Bsnl 500 Combo Please let me know hw can we get those monsterous speeds...............

whitestar_999

are you sure these are not 205-212KBps.download speed is shown in KB/s in downloads using internet explorer,firefox etc or download manager like flashget,IDM etc.the speeds mentioned in poll are in kbps not KBps & are measured by sites like speedtest.net

parshanth

Am getting These speeds in p2p Softwares......... Even getright gives these speeds 210kbps max lasting for couple of secs Average speed 180 Bkps..............

TANMAY

My speedtest.net result -:






I am on home500 plan and with IP 117.199.xxx.xx

whitestar_999

new customers in calcutta are getting download speed as 8500kbps in speedtest results for home 500c but even they do not get more than 240-250KBps average speed instead of 1000KBps(=8500kbps).its not my result though.

just4kix

Please do not blindly believe any speed test results - even those from speedtest.net. Actual speed test should be determined as follows:

a) Start a large file download - do not surf on other sites during this time and definitely do not do a parallel download.
b) Note down the average download for two/three minutes after the first minute.
c) Multiple the KB/s download speed by 8.

p/s. Download speed will also depend upon the load on the source server. Try downloading from good (powerful) sites such as Yahoo, Google, Oracle, etc.

hi guys i am using this plan since 2 months i get an average of 200 kbps download speed, speed tests show different values for different sites,bsnls speed test shows 1150kbp(around) browsing speed.

torrent downloads depend on the torrents so they vary, for torrent i got 450 kbps speed and for some other i get only 20 kbps

Usually the download sped lies between 200 to 300kbps

whitestar_999

how much you can download in 2-8AM will tell you the average download speed like the member aruncse30 who calculated his average speed to be 238KBps.

rasarat

So should I or shouldn't I go for the 500C+ plan instead of the 900UL one?
