Bsnl Broadband

IronCruz

ICE COOOOL!!!
I recently visited chip forum. There one guy posted that he is using bsnl home 500 plan. But the screen shot of speedtest.net showed that his speed is 3.15 mbps. Is it possible? And also one of my friend said that he used to get upto 500kbps of download speed. Also he said that 700mb file would download in 50 min or less, Which is correct if we calculate. But its impossible to get those speeds in 500 plan. Mine gives max of 170 kbps of download speed. Is it possible to increase the speed? Now u may tell that kbps means kilobits. Its not at all like that. Please solve this prob. I hope its a very usefull thread, which ll clear many of thems doubts

The speed calculated by speedtest.net is not that accurate. Most of the times, it just calculates the average of the burst rate(i.e speeds which are seen only for a few seconds) not sustained download rate.

I once got a speed of 4.25Mbps in Speedtest.net.
I use 500C plan.

When I used 500+ plan I sometimes used to get 250KBps speed in torrents...on an average i used to get 220Kbps...

My friend got new connection and for 1 month he got 300Kbps speed in torrents...but after that his avg speed was again 220KBps:)

I dont understand how u all will get that much speed. Mine even after optimizing utorrent gives 180 with gr8 difficulty. Is there any steps or process to improve the the speed?

one of the guy on Indiabroadband.net merged 2 X Home 500 connection of two different lines on a same PC. He used to download @ 4mbps speed. But He's not telling how he did that.

Uhu, Not Gonna Happen!
I am not sure anyone could do that, merging two connections in one to double the speed. Perhaps he is bluffing. Usually what happens is that every request sent/received utilizes only one connection. E.g. I have BSNL Broadband at home and I connect to Internet using my BSNL 3G sim too. The download manager takes either of them for downloading data.

or maybe that person is a genius...


@PaiGirish, are you using any firewall...that could be one of the reasons for slow download speed

bsnl speed doesnt exeed 260-270KB/S for me when i download directly in IDM

ofcourse there are some surge speeds

its better to check speed on dataone as it varies with server


one more

my speed improved after i patched tcpip.sys to increase max half open connections

@varad

its possible to bridge connections....may be he is keeping in PPP always on mode and bridged the two lan in network connections...not a big deal

he showed us the download speed for t0rrents which exceeded 500Kbps.

I'm sick of these kinda threads. Seriously. I've seen several since BSNL BB was introduced around 7 years ago.

First of all, speeds higher than 2 mbps, or 256 kBps, is impossible in a 500 plan. There are 2 possibilities where the impossible can be possible.

1. BSNL is testing new speeds. I've witnessed this myself when BSNL BB was new, and was testing their 8 mbps connection. It still went back to normal after a day

2. Burst speeds. They can happen for a brief amount of time, and are mistaken for being miracles from god.

@varad, @gopi_vbboy

Bridging is used to extend a connection to another. Not to combine two connections. You cannot combine two connections using software. Pure and simple.

Why? The short answer is, 2 connections = 2 ip addresses. Only specially programmed software can use both at a time. NOT uTorrent or FDM or whatever.

So, how do you use 2 ADSL connections together? you need 2 connections = 1 IP address. You obviously need a HARDWARE solution.

There are multi-input routers, where you can plug in more than one ADSL line. Then there's the option of using a third router, plugging in the ADSL modems to that router. That would subnet the computer, and both ADSL modems to that master router, which has only one IP address. Bingo.

There are many techniques to increase connection speed, but only by a very very small percent. You cannot expect a tortoise - to - rabbit transformation. If you need more speed, shell out Gandhi photos from your daddy's wallet :p :p and buy a better connection.

I'll try to post those techniques later... most of them are covered in this forum somewhere, I remember making a post like a year or two ago. I'll see what I can dig up.

i know how he did and i can also do

my method requires 2 adsl modems and a virtual/physical machine , and uses a software called privoxy , configuring it such can merge the speeds ( not necesserily on a single program )

actually , what i do i start 1st 3 parts of rapidshare link on 1 download manager and rest 3 on another . and getting over 500-550 kBps combined on both . so a movie/other download happens fast.
