Thread: please help! slow dataone speed......

since last three days my dataone speed has gone dramatically down from 1.7Mbps to just over 150Kbps.......
what do i do????? please help........

even i have this problem. i used to get bandwidth 1.5-4mbps. but now bandwidth is just 100-300kbps. i don't know whats wrong. i have 500c plan.

where do you guys live? it could probably be a temporary issue.. has this happening for days?

i live in chennai

same problem here since two days but better i get around 700kbps
i am from vijayawada

Im from Kerala...

These days my speed was horrible .. too many disconnections ets was ther ..

Usually i was getting good speeds as 230-240kBps.. but these days i could only mange to get 40-50 kbps [with a lot of disconnections.

But today my speeds are rather better. there was no problem today..

how do u peoples feel...

hey.. im also in chennai and me too geting the same problem.. but it should be a temp issue..

I am from Maharashtra. I am also getting reduced speeds. speed down from 230 KB/ps to 78-80 KB/ps. Frequest disconnections are also experienced.

i have some qurestions
if my bandwidth is 320Kbps then will my max download speed be only 40KB/s (as 320/8=40) ?
will my utorrent max download speed also be only 40KB/s?

even if my question is silly please reply!

: Difference between kBps and KBps :

Kilobyte (KB or K) = 1024 bytes (2 ^ 10) "binary kilobyte"
kilobyte (kB) = 1000 bytes (10 ^ 3) "decimal kilobyte"

Kilobit (Kb) = 1024 bits (2 ^ 10) "binary kilobit"
kilobit (kb) = 1000 bits (10 ^ 3) "decimal kilobit"

KBps = Kilobytes (1024 bytes) per second (binary)
kBps = kilobytes (1000 bytes) per second (decimal)

Kbps = Kilobits (1024 bits) per second (binary)
kbps = kilobits (1000 bits) per second (decimal)

bps = bits per second


Usually :

256 kbps = 32 kBps


I think my answer satisfied you.

thanks. but i already know it. i usually get bandwidth 1.5-2Mbps. but for the past 2 weeks i get only 250-350Kbps. i want to know whether there is any problem from my side? could i increase it?

Hi narasimhan1990, You are correct. for a 320kbps conenction, speeds will stay at 40KB/sec. this can vary a bit, depending on no of peers , traffic and ISP limits, however, mathematically u are correct.

There is some point.

In utorrent it shows speed in kBps and not in KBps..

now i surprisingly got 1Mbps bandwidth. so can the modem be on for a day or two because i rarely get such speeds. since the modem gets heated quite fast will it affect the modem. i use bridge mode so i think i won't be charged until i connect.

Modem heating up is normal and that will not really affet your speeds. Infact i keep my modem and router switched on for weeks/months at a time and they work just fine. as long as you are sure you're not getting charged, leaving the modem in is perfectly okay.

Also, if you're on a plan that say's "upto 2 mbps" then the speeds can actually vary from 128kbps - 2mbps depending in how loading you section of town is. Why dont u check and see what kind off speeds u get at nite, lets say after 11pm?

guys still the problem is not resolved. most of the time when i connect i get only 250-350 Kbps.
now its been 2 weeks since i got more than 350Kbps. once i got 2 Mbps but hard luck soon there was current shutdown.
i think it is a modem problem or something because
when i switch on the modem it connects. but when i switch off & switch on the modem it doesn't connect. i found out that once i switch off the modem i need to wait for 1hr to again switch on the modem to connect. this doesn't make sense. i tried both poppe mode and bridge mode but same results.
could u guys please explain how this is happens?

Hi i AM VISHAL FROM GUJARAT.

i have my bsnl dta one since 3 months
first i had the plan of 250/month and the download speed of 250kbps!after that i suscribed to unlimited plan of 750
everythinhg was good the speed was same but in the mid april my speed gone to only 32kbps!
why????

remember the speed was same after i suscribed to unlimited plan


now i dont even like to download data and i also canoot open some web pages!


please help!

you were lucky for few days.you should know thatbunlimited plan 750 speed is 256kbps(32KBps max).if you want 2mbps change plan.

Me too. I live in Kerala. I am suffering low speeds for the last 6 days. I used to get 220+ KBps from mirosoft server. No its just 20KBps. Used to download 3.5 - 4 GB in 6 hours. Now its 1.7 - 3 GB. (if the connection doesnt get disconnected frequently) It takes time for the torrent to pickup speed. Seems a nation wide problem.
