Indian ISPs among the BitTorrent Throttling ISPs

[spikygv]

OOOLD news. The useless fools never stop. I have noticed that the common torrent ports are blocked by BSNL. Someone must sue them for failure of service, cheating, promoting false facts in advertisements, etc.

can u list those ports which are blocked ?

There are lots, considering the no. of ports. The best way is to try them out one by one. Generally try anything above 50000, just a suggestion. I use 55555, which is used by AVG Antivirus for updates, but I use NOD32 so no problem with that.

I am getting excellent speed on home 500 plan of BSNL, speed sometimes exceed 256 KBPS!

Thank you for stating the impossible, just like several others in the forum. Fails. 2 * 1024 / 8 = 256. Please revise your math.

^WEll,dr.sethi is correct dude!it is a 2mbps connection

 

[dheeraj_kumar]

^^ Thats not what I meant. The speeds on a 2 mbps cannot EXCEED 256 KBPS, but dr.sethi says it does. Thats what I was talking about.

 

[praka123]

^it exceeds!those routers and lines are capable of providing around 8mbps speed!
it is explained in this thread itself(old posts). .

many ppl get speed than what is promised .the system we have with bsnl is able to provide almost 8mbps.remember IPTV also comes in metros etc;right?

@praka123

Of course its capable of getting 8 mbps, but how would one go about doing it? I am capped to 2 mbps, and so are my friends, so you mean to say some accounts/modems are uncapped? uncapping the modem can provide the 8 mbps, I'm sure, but its very easy to detect, and is a criminal offence.
