In any modem just see the status/line status page & see the line rates(upstream for upload,downstream for download). Also BSNL local exchange people need to set your DSLAM port(an instrument connected to your phone line at local exchange which then connects to broadband backbone network) speed also to 4mbps(in many places they are still set to 2mbps) if they haven't already done it.
Is this what you're asking for? It says 2048 Kbps

Try with another laptop/mobile to rule out any software/system issue.Also try downloading something from microsoft site(some big setup like
Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows 7 which is 1.7gb iso file) using jdownloader 2.If same result then ask local exchange people whether they have set the speed at 4mbps for your connection's DSLAM port at local exchange.
Tried different laptop and router,a slight improvement with certain torrents,but nothing major.
The people at exchange hardly seem to care for speeds as long as the phone and internet work and connect.
My data rate shows up as 4096 for downstream and 509 for upstream,can dslam still be an issuedespite that?and is it possible they have connected my connection to a faulty port?

i am out of ideas ,even the evdo connection i have gives much better speeds(evdo still works here and its quite good)

Issue with your DSLAM port may be a possible reason as sometimes the DSLAM port itself may develop some problem.Ask them to change your DSLAM port & if they ask how or why you are asking it then tell them one of your friend in some other state faced similar issue which was solved after his DSLAM port was changed.If even after changing DSLAM port speed issue is not resolved then most likely the BSNL network in your area is overloaded with data traffic.

I ll try talking to them,but they are really not helpful so might be difficult. Will report back.
Thank you for the idea.

This month marks the comeback of FUP holdup. I was not allowed to browse until I click some button on their redirected webpage.

I hate that. I also dread that someone say my parents or children without proper knowledge might just click yes and cost me money in future.

^It is for that FUP sh!t ,BSNL lost a loyal customer like me(connected since 2007...) and plenty of others also.

I have a query on my broadband which is not really related to BSNL. But please advice on below:
I have 2 internet options namely BSNL broadband which i share through a WiFi at home and a Jio which i use while on the move. Now both are using their own DNS servers as i have not configured anything on my laptop. Should i manually change it to global DNS or let it remain as it is ?

Depends on how your page loading speed is. If you enter Google or Open DNS in the router, that would be sufficient.

It depends on which dns gives you better browsing experience.e.g.I simply use google dns because well it is google & because if it is not working via google dns then either site is down or proxy/vpn is needed to bypass isp restrictions.

Jio is the closest alternative to BSNL. Other ISPs do not come to small places, Jio does. Cable operator internet is not available in small towns or villages.

Finally managed to get my speed re-configured as 4 Mbps now. Thanks whitestar & chimera. Also is there any more reliable way of checking your data usage other than through BSNL website? I have never been able to understand their site. I want something simple like how much is used.
