jus now i hv tested.
Good morning!I am residing in raipur ( C.G) . I have a vista ultimate 32 bit installed as primary operating system and win xp pro 64 bit as secondary but i only use vista to download and have a dataone plan 500 activated .The connection was running fine however just a week ago it has suddenly got slow .ie
1. When i go to dataone administration page it shows everything normal ,and when i click on the check download speed ,it shows it between 863 kbps to 1.023 mbps .
2 Almost all sites are taking some what more time to load . Eg Thinkdigit is taking approx 7 sec to load without pictures then 2 more sec for pictures previously it took only 3 to 4 sec for complete loading. However Google search is running fast or normal .
3 . The most annoying thing is rapid share . I always use to choose "telisonera " or "Global crossing" for download and download speed used to reach 120 kbps to 220 kbps LITERALLY . However now it averages to 65 to 75 kbps and rarely reaching 100 kbps.
4. However torrent ( i use u torrent ) is running perfectly fine with speed somewhat slow but not so slow about 80 to 100 kbps depending upon tracker speed .
What may be the problem ? I want to talk to bsnl Agent as last option as they are pretty rude here .
REPAIRING A BROKEN UNDERSEA CABLE
# Find the location of the accident; drag the damaged part to the surface, and replace it with a new stretch of cable
# May also send light pulses along the fibers in the cable to determine the exact location
# A working fiber will transmit those pulses all the way across the ocean; a broken one will bounce it back
# The telecom operator then sends out a large cable ship with a few miles of fresh fibre-optic lines
# If the faulty part of the cable is less than about 4,000 feet down, a submersible robot can be sent
# The robot finds the right place; grabs hold of the cable; cuts out the malfunctioning section, and pulls the loose ends back up to the ship
# Robots do not work in very deep water. In such cases, technicians use a grapnel to cut the cable and hold it
# A skilled technician (jointer) splices the glass fibers; uses adhesives to attach the new section of cable
# The repaired cable is then lowered back to the seabed on ropes
