As u can see even though my connection is Home 500 2Mbps.BSNL is so damn nice that its providing me with 8Mbps connection.Well u might as well think that 8Mbps is good but to be true its pretty much impossible to get a stable connection with 8Mbps speed in ADSL 1.I checked the speed of one of my friend's Home 500 plan using the same modem (he's got a connection from the same exchange as i do) and found that his speed was 2048(2Mbps Down and 256Kbps up).So what's the idea I have.

WHEN BSNL SETS ITS SPEED TO 8Mbps many BSNL USERS WILL HAVE SYNCING PROBLEMS WITH THE EXCHANGE,AS A RESULT THE BROADBAND CONNECTION WILL BECOME UNSTABLE AND ULTIMATELY BSNL WILL HAVE TO REVERT BACK TO 2Mbps.ASKING 8Mbps FROM BSNL IS ASKING TOO MUCH.

My Snr Margin value is alright for 2Mbps connection(anything above 15 is good).

^^Believe me this is what's gonna happen.I don't know which idiot at the main exchange set my speed to 8Mbps but i am having syncing problems since then.

This is the speed i am getting on most servers(including the recommended one)due to syncing problems.

My link is responding very poorly.I have complained several time and changed my line 3 times by bugging the exchange office.

I think that is different thing.
Right now I am siting on a friend PC having 128 Kbps Airtel broadband connection.

Here also, downstream is 2559 Kbps
upstream is 572 Kbps

But, it doesn't mean he is on 2 Mbps connection.That must be something different.

As mentioned in few other posts, BSNL has already started carrying out 8Mbps trials and started upgrading few lines, so it's not a surprise.

However, as @Harvik780 suggested, there are going to by synchronisations problems. But, this will be there only during intial stages of testing. Normally, when a line is shifted to 8Mbps, the line goes through something called a stabilization period which can last anywhere between 5-15days. During this time, the BRAS and DSLAM work with something called RAMBO to monitor the line connectivity, dropouts, SNR levels, throughput and synch speeds. All the data is collected during this time and the line is tested by the exchange equipment automatically with several different synch speeds, decrease/increase SNR margins until it finds a stable rate at which the line can perform. Some ISP's call this rate as MSR or Maximum stable rate.

So, it's going to take time for the tests to pass through however, in @Harvik780's case I think, although they are testing his line with higher synchronisation speeds, his TCP/IP throughput is still capped at below 2Mbps so that he doesn't take BSNL for a ride :D , hence the test results turning out to be what is posted.

@Harvik780, if you got time, please make a log of the synchronisation speeds and speedtest on a New York server every 6hrs for the next few days so that we can know what it's really going to end up on. Also make a note of the no. of synchronisation drops.

but unfortunately, you cant do anything about it, since their entire life rests on the word UPTO :p
