MTNL too would offer 2mbps net connection start next year

[anispace]

so basically nothing new for MTNL users in 2007. No change in speed, data caps, no new plans... nothin.

Basically, a strategy to leech more money from existing users.....limited plan users!

mtnl su*k

Lets do some mathematics:

2Mbps = 2097152 bits per second. ---------------[1]

400MB = 3200 Megabits = 3355443200 bits. -------------------[2]

therefore,
seconds taken to exaust [2] using [1] = 3355443200/2097152 = 1600 seconds
Time takes to exhaust: = 26.67 MINs
Less than half an hour.

All measurements/ conversions confer to the National Institute of Standards

I REST MY CASE

no upgrade for NU

*mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm#tariff

they could have atleast increased the data caps to about 5GB per month or something. whats the point of offering 2Mbps if u can only download 400MB per month?

 

[blackleopard92]

man, they can't be so dumb, come on!
maybe they are trying things out, and would soon switch all plans to 2mbps.

and by the way, i never thought 2mbps would come to india in 2007.i was thinking along the lines of 2010 for 2mbps.
i think in 4 - 5 months they would sort things out

 

[ssdivisiongermany1933]

let's hope for the best

man, they can't be so dumb, come on!

Iam sorry but they actually are dumb, not just them but every other indian ISP.

I'm on MTNL night unlimited and I'm getting 1.52 Mbps. Only in the daytime of course. At night I'm getting a maximum speed of 100 Kbps. I thought MTNL was increasing speeds for everyone except NU users.
Best surprise I ever had.

EDIT: Just hit 134 Kbps from direct FTP download during free hours. Woo hoo!

^^Whattttt???? I'll try dlding sumthing tomorrow! lets see...

 

[drvarunmehta]

Don't know but I'm going to take advantage of it while I can.

Don't know but I'm going to take advantage of it while I can.

I am getting jealous, very jealous.

on brighter side, maybe 590NU has hopes.
way to go luke!

The customer care executives told me tht tht the upgrade of the speed was being done exchange by exchange and would be complete within a week....so if ne MTNL delhi users start getting higher speeds like drvarunmehta do post here with ur location in delhi.
@drvarunmehta....whats ur location in delhi dude?

 

[drvarunmehta]

Not Delhi, Mumbai.

 

[blackleopard92]

in daytime, my router is showing 2048 download and 256kbps upload.
guess 590NU got their speed as well.
it happen around 11:00 sudden disconnection and reconnection.
biggest surprise.

now, let's wait till 12:00. whether they downgrade speed or not.
