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 !
