Thread: Speed slows down suddenly

hey frnds
i have this mtnl UT-300R2U modem
and my device info is

<<
Line Rate - Upstream (Kbps): 259
Line Rate - Downstream (Kbps): 2052
LAN IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Default Gateway: 120.56.128.1
Primary DNS Server: 203.94.243.70
Secondary DNS Server: 202.159.219.229
>>


I used to get dl speed upto 210 Kbps but since last 15 days the speed falls below 50 Kbps ! but the line rates are same even now ,but overall speed is very low and fluctuating from 30- 55 Kbps now.
Is this some kind of modem problem or what else ?
I dont want to complain to mtnl office because i used to get this high speed on my 512 combo plan !
and since the line rates is still the same i dont thnk they had reduced the speed , there is some other problem .
So plz help me out frnds .
Thanks in advance.

1
.Try opendns 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222
or Google DNS 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

2
Download tcp optimizer from speedguide.net and select optimal values or default values.
3.
Mention your present tariff plan. for max 512Kbps speed max possible 64KB/sec
4.
Check speed here at different times/ to have a record (graph.)

Are you sure its 30-55kBps or 30-55kbps

^^^
Its kB/s

Can u plz tell that whether this problem can occur due to accidently entry of water in telephone line , like during rainy season recently ?
I am asking this because i recently noticed some water exiting from the line ( since my line is overhead and in open !)

And my plan is 512 combo but i am getting high speed due to mtnl fault (like many used to have) , and i still don't think that mtnl has reduced the speed because the line rate is still the same, that is why i am asking where the problem area is ?
help me friends !

current speed:

Today 16:12 471 kbps (58.9kB/s) 205 kbps (25.6kB/s)

Dude 58.9kB/s is awesome for a 512kbps connection
Stop frowning and be happy

mtnl has changed their systems. The speed now you are getting is according to ur bb plan, even if u may have line is synched at 2054 kbps or higher. Its new regulatory measure taken by mtnl. ****!

Same issues. Also, is there a way to RESET the modem back to the 2240 kbps Line Down rate? Get a new modem or reset settings on this on?

Speeds pathetic, Ping is pathetic. What the hell have they been doing suddenly last few weeks?

Add to this:
- Frequent disconnections - like the good ole DIALUP days.. Fme.
- On watching the modem constantly in a tab as I worked online.. ADSL link down, Authentication failure, all sorts of isses.. Also when Modem shows everything in SUMMARY to be OK.. at that time no pages will open... until I restart the damn thing..
Then it works for a bit .. 5 mins later.. ADSL link down..

Having the same problems from the Kandivili exchange according to the Engineer from 13th Aug lines having some issues with Alcatel speed to down constant disconnections etc you are connected to which exchange ?

i think there is some problems with mtnl mumbai, since the last 3 weeks or so , my download speed has droped by around 20 KB , havent called them as yet! but a few ppl i know are also having issues! how much has your speed dropped by?
