Chip.in • View topic - Please REPLY --- BSNL Broadband Users ---
Hello friends,
I am making a final decision on BSNL.
I am going to break my year long relation with Airtel.
I am going for BSNL 500 Plan which gives 2 Mbps with night (2-8) unlimited.
Please clarify few doubts.
How much (Download/upload) speed do you get in night ( 2 to 8 ) with 2 MBps connection ?
How frequent are disconnection with BSNL ( Due to rain or faults )
How is the service given by BSNL overall ?
Please mention negative & positive points.
How much did you pay for a new connection ?
What is the current process to apply for new connection ( Appox fees by them )
Would be glad if someone ( Bangalore USERS Most welcome ) can reply.

First of all its a 2Mbps connection and not a 2MBps connection.
There is a huge difference in this.
A small b denotes a bit while a big B indicates a byte(it is the actual unit of file size).So when you have an approx 2Mbps connection,(It is a really 2.048Mbps) you divide it by eight to get the actual speed.
And hence you get 256KBps.
This would be your maximum speed.

Hmm.
. . missed out to see the diff.
Anywaz KATSUMOTO, The promised speed is 256 kbps and it may go upto 2 Mbps if the BW is available.
U dont get a 2 Mbps connection for 500 plan.
2 Mbps connection is available under Home 3300 plan only (in this the promised speed is 2 Mbps)

Talking about speed.
Normal surfing is great, the site loads up the very next second.
For download, the maximum i get here in chandigarh is around 230-240kbps.
Average is 180 kbps.
Ares- 230
Rapidshare- 170
FTP- 150
Once i got got speeds of 350 for an hour at night, not joking!
The customer support is fair, though i did get my connection done the very next day i applied for it, i couldnt change my password till now.

Disconnection do happen here.
. . sometimes.

So in such case, BSNL IS actually providing a 2 MBps connection.
Isnt it?
When download speeds are 230 to 250 kbps, that means the connection speed IS 2 Mbps.
Correct me if i'm wrong here.

umm.
. i had some weird problems with my connections and service they gave me was just damn good!
Officer himself came to my house 3 times.
Wiremen worked really hard for me.
They knew thr was no falut in wire but they checked each n every joint from my house to the main office [6-7kms].
if u follow the rules,formalities correctly then they offer a very good service.
. thats what I experienced.
And hey! this is Ratnagiri.
. small town. . it might be different in Banglore.

He should come and try after 2 years

My mom works in BSNL.
She tells me that the upper officials are bribed by Airtel, Hutch and others to give bad service.
When I first heard, I naturally laughed it off.
But almost all the employees in my mom's office know this for sure.
