Thread: Speed problem

I am very old experienced user of mtnl delhi..i hav 256 kbps combo plan..from the last 10 months i was getting usually 200 kbps average speed,...but from the last 5 days iam getting not even 10 kbps downld speed....nd I have MT882 modem.the modem takes 15 mins to connect....I am very sad...plzz HELP me!!!!!!

Please check ur phone line , the modem shouldnt take that long to connect.
Log in @ 192.168.1.1 & check your adsl connection status.
Also ensure that no downloads are going on in the background on your pc.
Try switching to open dns i.e. 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220

How to switch to open dns..??

plzz yaar ..explain...iam in big trouble...HELp me!!.....my downld speed 10 kbps and ma another frnd has same plan nd he is getting 200+ kbps

You can change your dns settings to open dns by visiting your routers settings page ( 192.168.1.1 ). In the settings page click on WAN tab (see router manual if you cant find this tab ,to know how to change dns servers or make a forum search) & enter the dns server address given above. Now save your settings. ( click apply button )

here's a guide on that Prashanth Speaks-Technology and Life: HOW TO CONFIGURE DNS SERVER IN YOUR MODEM OR ROUTER

Changing to OpenDNS won't increase download speed. But it will speed up website loading.

i am having the same exact problem ....i guess its te problem with mtnl only :2guns:

I dont think there is any problem with MTNL , as i am still getting good speeds.

okay i just called mtnl help line at 1504 and they told me u get download speed of only 30KBps ....can someone explain to me what just happened 5 days ago was geeting download speeds of 200+KBps and now i am down to just 30...anything that i can do :36:

keshav the speeds you have been getting were because of a glitch in the mtnl system it has also happened with me.... when you take a 256kbps ul plan for the 1st month mtnl may or may not provide you with a 200Kbps+ bandwith ... it is kinda sad although you can switch to another plan....:4::4::yawn::yawn::36::36:
