I am almost had it with MTNL's sh*tty service.Will shift to Airtel the moment they launch a 2Mbps NU unlimited scheme.Mind you this is a shift from Pacenet which I had earlier & was equally pathetic.:mad:

Idea speeds are ok compared to dail up but billing system horrible. After 15rs daily deduction for unlimited surfing more charges are deducted whenever i use my cell as modem. 81 rs were refunded but problem still exists. The gprs dept has acknowledged the problem but unable to solve. Escalated my complaint to nodal officer now. The cc guys at idea needs to update their knowledge. Software downloads are chargeable according to them when on unlimited plan.....

They are charging me close to 2p /KB when i browse on my pc through my cell and also with the web browser but not opera mini. Since i am on unlimited plan this is unfair.

According to the call centre its only browsing thats unlimited and downloads are chargeable. When i asked what rate i would be charged to download norton anti virus they could not answer and only gave me rates of downloading ring tones wallpapers etc and transfered to gprs dept who clarified that no charge is levied for data transfer. Also agreed that they were charging me for data transfer but later another lady denied the same. They also refused me a copy of call logs which is available to post paid but i am on pre paid

I am getting good download speeds of minimum 200KBPS in my BSNL H500, which being a 20% down is permissible, but I get frequent 1-30min internet cuts a few times every week, and that makes me really MAD :mad:.

I am not frustrated at all with my ISP. Hardly any downtime. I get a decent speed of 27-28 kbps while downloading. No issues with blocked ports and all. Plus, a static IP so I can run all kinds of servers on my PC. The upload speed is good enough to be able to run these services easily, for my convinience.

torrents give quite low speeds.
so what I do is to find an RS download thats been split to multiple parts, and pool the download with my friends and each downloads his share of parts. Then we get together and exchange what we downloaded with others. Then we extract and enjoy.
Such coorporative downloading can't be possible with bittorrent, which needs you to upload and download at the same time.

Torrents give far better speeds than files on http/ftp servers.Just make sure you download a torrent that has enough seeders and peers [no. of peers < no. of seeders] and no leechers.Though some torrent sites prefer calling peers as leeachers, so be careful there.! ;) .
And make sure you have done port forwarding stuff properly.If you don't wanna get into port-forwarding than just enable UPnP in both your router and Torrent client [maybe in your OS too] and then see the speed difference b/n bit-torrent and http/ftp network.!

^use bridge mode(ie;dial from Linux to connect with "pon dsl-provider" and "poff" to disconnect).apt-get install lokkit; in a terminal,run "lokkit" as sudo or su.in custom option in "other ports",enter "59874" click OK and exit.
when net is connected,see the o/p of "iptables -L" as su or sudo.it should show that port is opened.
launch azureus,go to tool>nat firewall test>enter 59874 and try pinging.if it succeed.click yes and accept.that's it.
for torrents,wait for a minute or 2 sometimes to show the seeds and peers.install different azureus plugins like coutry locator etc,it is fun :p

in H500,Azureus can download with 218-220KBps in my Debian box.It is gr8. :)

if u use pppoe-builtin router dialer,u have to enable virtual server and open ports in router.
