Default Why BSNL Broadband slow now?

We all know that there was a cable cut in the sea due to a ship, but I am sure that the cable does not belong to bsnl but to only private isp's but still i find that bsnl is really rather very damn slow during these days, why is this? is it because of cable cut or is everyone switching to bsnl from private?

I did find slight problems in the morning - the connection kept getting lost. The connection used to get restored quickly. While the connection was intact, there was no problem browsing some of the sites that I visited (including this one). I cannot say that for all the sites.

I switched to default DNS (BSNL) by removing the open DNS entries. I thought that during this time when the undersea cable is damaged, it may be better to switch to BSNL's DNS instead of open DNS. Just a thought. I cannot guarantee anything neither I have any firm hypothesis.

Who is complaining?

I am not, definitely. My tolerance level is fairly high.

i don't think bsnl is in the business of managing or buying bandwidth through under sea cable.vsnl is in charge of that.

REPAIRS

"The repair ship has been notified and expected to arrive at the (Dubai) site in (the) next few days," FLAG said.

The Internet Service Providers' Association of India said cable repair ships had already been sent to fix the breaches off northern Egypt, which are in segments of two intercontinental cables known as SEA-ME-WE-4 and FLAG Europe-Asia.

FLAG said these repairs should start by Feb. 5 and be complete after one week.

Rajesh Chharia, president of the Internet Service Providers' Association, said all of FLAG's traffic had now been shifted to the SEA-ME-WE-3 cable network.

FLAG's rival, Indian Internet service provider Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL), said the majority of its Internet services to the Middle East and North Africa had been restored within 24 hours, as had services to India.

VSNL said in a statement it had used the SEA-ME-WE-3, SEA-WE-ME-4 eastbound and TIC cable to reroute customer traffic.

Ahhh ok , there seems to be quite a few posts here against BSNL. BSNL has made broadband cheap and available to the masses something very similar to what Reliance did for mobile phones and maybe what Nano would do to four wheelers! Before that my local cables were asking 1000 bucks a month for crappy speeds of 20 kBps unlimited connections + installation RS 3k extra . Boy now do I laugh at them !

Default But You Will Have To Bear With Net Crawl For At Least 10 More Days

BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO BEAR WITH NET CRAWL FOR AT LEAST 10 MORE DAYS

INDIAN service providers (ISPs) such as Bharti, Tatas-owned VSNL and Reliance Communications, who offer international connectivity through global undersea links, have engaged in large scale re-routing of voice and data traffic, in addition to swinging to the backup mode following the disruption international connectivity due to the breakdown of two undersea cables in the Mediterranean region near Egypt. The country’s other international bandwidth provider — BSNL — however, said that it services were unaffected as all its traffic is routed via Sri Lanka.

According to industry officials, Bharti had re-routed its network through i2i while the Tatas are diverting a significant chink of their traffic through the SMW-3 cable (which connects Asia to Europe) and the Tata Indicom cable. Reliance, on the other hand, has already started restoring its services by routing its traffic on other partner networks. A Reliance official told ET that the company officials are in the process of securing necessary permissions for restoration work of the damaged cable to commence and the repair work start by early next week. “The company is already restoring connectivity to its customers which had chosen its pre-planned restoration service, and is in the process of taking requests from those who haven’t,” the official added.

Despite the re-routing of internet traffic, consumers will have to bear with slow internet speeds for the next 10 - 15 days before services will be back to 100% normalcy. However, corporate customers, who are the prime revenue generators of service providers, have reasons to cheer — while most corporate links across India are back, 100% normalcy is expected from Friday.

Meanwhile, stand-alone internet service providers (ISPs) have demanded that the Department of Telecom (DoT) convey an immediate meeting with the three international bandwidth providers. “We want the DoT to act whereby it mandates that Bharti, VSNL and Reliance have backup redundancy plans in place. Even earlier, in 2006, an earthquake in Taiwan had knocked out internet links to India for 20-25 minutes and affected Reliance Communications’ FLAG and VSNL’s SEA-ME-WE-3 under-sea cable systems. This is the second time that the country is facing major disruption. This can impact the confidence of international investors in India,” said Rajesh Chharia, president of the Internet Service Providers’ Association of India.

Internet Service Providers Association of India Secretary RS Parhar says, “Traffic shipping by major service providers is expected to be complete by Friday evening, while the fibre repair itself would take another 15-20 days.” The country’s ISPs are connected to several lines and the downtime in one normally leads to deflection of traffic to other routes, he added.

When contacted on the issue, the VSNL spokesperson said that traffic had been restored to a large number of its customers. Sources also said that since VSNL had made large scale investments in restoration and protection work earlier, the company would complete its repair work at a quicker pace within the next couple of days. Industry sources also said that Bharti had already restored the data and voice links to all its corporate and private leased line customers. However, its IP customers continue to be impacted, but there will be a significant improvement by midnight Thursday. “Even as Bharti is getting additional capacity from other carrier, the company has also opened up bridge line and call centre scripts to help to help minimise customer impact,” industry sources added.
