BSNL WLL broadband working only @115kbps

[j1n M@tt]

I recently applied for BSNL WLL wireless broadband plan of 250/month @144kbps for ma home usage, and I got the connection this month.BSNL provided me a LG CDMA device from which u can connect to normal phones with RJ sockets and uses USB to connect to d computer.

As they told me I installed d drivers from CD they provided and did the setup for a dial-up to '#777' and 'BSNL' as the ISP .

In d Phone and Modem Options d LG CDMA device is detected as a 115Kbps modem and when I connect to Internet it shows d connection speed as 115.2Kbps............Why d modem is not 144kbps.... or is there any diference in doing d setup? or.....err...is BSNL fooling around???

I'm helpless now @115kbps...plz help me......BSNL provided me no help; d service guys don't even know how 2 setup a net connection!!!

first of all stop calling a 144/115 kbps connection a broadband. according to TRAI, any connection below 256kbps can't/shouldn't be considered as broadband. and for your record, you are still on a dial-up connection and not a broadband. wireless broadband can only be delivered using 3G. And you must be knowing that the Indian Telecom Sector (both private and public) are still to implement 3G as TRAI hasn't come-up with any recommendation... don't fret your speed is 115kbps.

There is a long thread in the Tech news section with all details, the speed, tariff, user experience etc. Please go through it

BSNL Unlimited (CDMA -144 kbps) Internet for Rs.250 Per Month

BSNL call it 'High speed internet' and not broadband. And from experience - even if you are very close to the BSNL CDMA tower, you will not get speed more than 115 kbps. Also, what it shows while you connect (115 in your case) is the interface speed and not the real speed. Real speed will be lower than that.

@din : thanx,I know about dat thread.


Can somebody explain hw everybody did d setup for CDMA net? I think its d setup I did limiting the net to 115kbps instead of 144kbps

Not exatly same, but of course something related ..

When I installed data card on laptop, first it showed 115 kbps. I tried with another, it showed 144 !! (same company data cards from BSNL). Same with PC. So I think it does not make any difference at all.

And no, I didn't setup BSNL FWP. But I was using the Reliance FWP for quite some time. Very similar to BSNL (LG one) FWP that you are using.
