bihari people dnt even know what ping is....facing high ping problem for past 2 months..!

ravitech · 12-29-08, 11:26 PM

as long as the internet is working fine there are no issues with service once it stops working the customer support on 1504 is pathetic they have no idea abt how to troubleshoot internet issues i had issue where i could not open diff websites they said they will checkfrom server end when i went through one of the posts in this forum the issue was resolved.

Admin · 12-29-08, 11:47 PM

Ravi its almost the same story with every isp's customer support not just Mtnl

I have got a tata wimax connection and they are even worse.

mecyanide · 12-30-08, 06:25 PM

I don't know if this works for you guys.

i have this triB256 ul plan since august,and to my surprise i was getting 2Mbps speed(2042Kbps to be precise).
fir a sify broadband 64Kbps user,the speed that i got from mtnl was like heaven.
Suddenly three days ago i saw on my router's page.. the speed was reduced to 1342 Kbps.And i was lyk,damn i need the 2 Mbps speed(even though i pay for 256,but you know humans are greedy :P, at least i am)

So i decided to play through the router's settings.
I stumbled to a page where i could select the modulation type of my router

some checkboxes like

ADSL.G.dmt
ADSL.G.dmt_lite
ADSL
ADSL2
ADSL2+

and many more
i unchecked all and left the ADSL.G.dmt checked and clicked apply.

There i go
the speed was back to 2042

I dunno,if this happened by chance,or its just my luck.
Give it a shot guys,you can always revert back to the original settings if it does not work.
Let me know the results.

Where did you find this settings? I am using NETGEAR but I can't find that ?

parshu · 01-19-09, 08:30 PM

I tried ur trick and now my net speed 256 again from 253 earlier

cool_techie_tvm · 01-24-09, 04:42 PM

ADSL providers in India like BSNL, MTNL have configured their DSLAMs and access concentrators to run G.DMT mode. Although the router may select ADSL2+, which is backward compatable with all the DSL modes, it better to configure it is G.DMT. Marginal increase in SNR and hence slightly stable/higher speeds can be expected in this mode.

aarsole · 04-19-09, 11:21 AM

I rated it as 9 as the speed is good but sometimes(1 or 2 times) it is not consistent. Otherwise it is good and cheaper than others

gyaaga · 04-20-09, 06:56 PM

1] I got connection within 3 days after applying.

2] I am getting great speed of 1.72 Mbps i.e. 210-215 KB/s

3] I have DSL 849 NU plan hence I can download 4GB/night

4] Once I got problem with net connection then I called 1504 and my problem was solved within 1 hour.

So I am giving 10/10

majorq · 05-03-09, 01:39 PM

I gave MTNL 9 of 10 as I know of a lot of people who have their connection with MTNL however never face a problem. Besides the service being known to be stable their price plans and user policies [Fair usage policy] are very good

As of me I have a major issue as I tried to sigh up for the "plan 180" for the telephone line and a NU plan over the internet

The self care page helped me to select all the details I needed and even too the initial deposit and installation charges of Rs 500 through my credit card. My CC was charged for the same. For the next two days the MTNL guys came over to my house to setup the connection however I was not at home as I work, also my stupid neighbours did not inform me until a week later
I dropped a mail to the MTNL helpdesk guys for the same and they sent a generic answer "Dear customer, Please contact on xxxx 2000(xxxx - Exchange Code)."
the wadala exchange is locale to me and I have no idea what my exchange code
Also I want to know in Mumbai its self how long exactly does a new connection take to be setup

Though it is run by Govt. but services provided by it are better than some private ISP's like Sify.

As far as my experience with MTNL nothing has gone wrong.CC is dumb but still they sent a representative in time.

Not many downtimes.Very rare and that too max for 1-2 hrs.

I am using MTNL from around 1 yr now and i am very satisfied with it.
