Thread: mtnl speed no more 2 mbps

hello guys, i m using mtnl triband since 2 years and i was getting surfing speed of 1.5-1.8 MB/s and download speed of 100 KB/s. But since jan when i check my speed, it is only 256 KBps and download speed of 30 KB/s. does anyone else also has same problem. has mtnl reduced speed of upto 2 MB/s which it had promised. pls anyone can tell me what should i do so that i can get speed above 1 MB/s.

same problem

check my issue below

Now i have another issue , i hope some one in this thread can take me to the answer,

Q) i have a 512 ul connection. the speeds i was getting was around 220-240 kbps and the usual upload of 25-35 kbps.

Suddenly these speeds have come in the range of 40 - 50 kbps max.

I thought that a 512 was giving me higher speeds of around 2 mbps but sudden this drop or range bound max upto 50 kbps.

Does mtnl give higher speeds to new connections and then reduce.
or
Does mtnl reduce speeds for people who download a lot of data ?

Hoping for an answer

my problem is resolved

are you talking about file downloading speeds or torrent downloading speeds?

same problem with me too........!!!

Plz let us know ur solution.....!!!

I would like a solution to this as well. I am having the same issue. I went to the exchange today and they checked my connection there and the speed came out to be 1.8MBps however when I try it at home I do not get more than 400kbps. This really sucks!

For the benefit of others, the problem in my case was a faulty line from the exchange to the junction box which they fixed it and it resolved my issue.

i have same problam so wat can i do sir

well, here in delhi, the speed for unlimited plan is 256Kbps........so if u r getting speed around 2 Mbps earlier than u r very lucky but the MTNL guys hav caped the limit and u r getting right speed.........u cant blame anyone...!!!

So, better check the plan details.....if u r synced to low speed just complaint to CC and better meet ur area's AM.

MTNL provides approx 2 Mbps speed on most of the 256kbps lines.
This is because they are lazy enough to work on it although it's a boon for we customers. At times the speed reduces to approx 256 kbps or less and this thing continues for a few hours to 1-2 days. This is normal and don't panic as it gets resolved automatically. But let me tell you that I tried Open DNS twice and the issue was resolved and so I checked back by using no DNS or MTNL DNS and the speed was fine at that time. It might be coincidence or this might have worked but try this work around.
unk:
OpenDNS provides the following recursive nameserver addresses for public use, mapped to the nearest operational server location by anycast routing:

• 208.67.222.222 (resolver1.opendns.com)
• 208.67.220.220 (resolver2.opendns.com)

To learn more about OPEN DNS copy thes URLs in the address bar

Opendns.com under no circumstances can increase your Internet speed, reading their website it only mentions making your network more secure and more reliable, nothing about increasing your Net speed because it can't.

I have tried OpenDNS Servers myself, and in no way they can increase your speed.THE SPEED IS COMPLETLY DEPENDENT ON YOUR ISPs SIDE . However open dns servers are better than MTNL dns servers according to me.

In my opinion this website, OpenDNS | Internet Navigation And Security is nothing but SCARE TACTICS, just like millions of websites on the internet which try to scare you into buy junk software's deluding you into a false security that your computer in Not safe until you install, buy their software's. opendns.com has a free version too, but promises you the moon if you buy their paid versions

This akshay1a2a3a dork is a hoaxer, don't believe anything posted by him

At max ADSL 2 use by MTNL can give 16 mBps. That guy is pulling our leg.

Why do we waste our time in all this ? We know we are NOT GOING TO GAIN ANYTHING OUT OF THIS. I see no point in downloading the software at your mensioned link?

This software is DNSBench.exe only a small 150 KB file which you can run from your Desktop itself .You don't have to install it into your C:/ at all
It is not spyware nor is it a Hackers tool. It will accurately tell you which this the fastest DNS server available

MTNL DNS should be right on top ...and on my computer the opendns.com
208.67.222.222 (resolver1.opendns.com)
*
208.67.220.220 (resolver2.opendns.com)

where somewhere right in between ..........

Run this test on you Computer it's totally safe and see for yourself

Peace
