Praka123's questions are too technical that I shall keep away
and leave it to the man on field Cyrus.
But to the earlier query why not all are put on the rate adaptive mode, my simple answer will be that to effect this technique, more add-ons to the DSLAMs will be required. So those connected to the Older DSLAMs will continue to be on the capped mode, while those getting connected to the newer DSLAMs will perhaps be on the rate-adaptive mode.( I do not know whether these add-ons are integral to the DSLAM or can be outfitted to the older DSLAMs and what is the BSNL policy on implementing this rate-adaptive mode.What BSNL is doing continues to be a mystery! )
Those who are more technically-minded can go through the link already posted
*www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/maxdsl2.htm
and other links therein.(but please read rate-adaptive DSL wherever it is MaxDSL
)
This article clearly brings out what Cyrus has stated in his post. I quote "It is also anticipated that speed variations will be much greater particularly during peak periods due to factors such as exchange congestion etc. In fact BTw even warn that at peak times speeds may be the similar to an equivalent 2Mb fixed rate service." I also faintly remember to have read somewhere that it can even go to as low as 256Kbps (not sure though - me cramming too much into my little head
)
Hmmmm...............what Cyrus says is true. Don't break your head. I was living peacefully with the "capped" line and BSNL has unnecessarily put me in the "nervous mode" by their "adaptive mode"
