Re: **Post all your BSNL Dataone Related Queries Here**

BSNL DNS was blocking Demonoid when I decided to switch my DNS to something else..

Who was blocking actually? BSNL was blocking Demonoid or Demonoid blocked the whole entire range of BSNL IPs? I think Demonoid blocked BSNL......

^^ Man, that is the Attainable Line Rate. I'm damn sure. Even I sometimes get 9500kbps+. And regarding upstream, my attainable upstream is mainly 1000kbps+.

But it is the connection speed that matters. Mine is 2048kbps down and 256kbps upstream.

May those model types only show the attainable speed not the connection speed......

Is that guy really getting ~1462.75 (if my maths is good) KB/s????? Probably (99.9bar %) NOT........

Correct me if I'm wrong.......

See my ADSL line status:
*img141.imageshack.us/img141/9425/statustp6.jpg

Am I getting ~1108KB/s downstream and ~119.5KB/s upstream???? Definitely not.......

Note: My Modem is not from BSNL. It is Netgear dm111p. For more information: *www.netgear.com/Products/RoutersandGateways/Modems/DM111P.aspx

Regarding BSNL upgradation of upload speed....

I don't know why but no such upgrade has taken place here in Gurgaon. My line can easily handle 512kbps of upstream but still no upgrade from the server side......Guys like prakash and some more people of Kerala get 512kbps upload even though they pay the same price. Can we sue BSNL for this?

The Screnshot shows the speed not the Attainable Line Rate
I know it very well, because when I connect the modem MT882 then it shows same Line Rate not the Attainable Line Rate.

what ever shows the Line Rate 11Mbps or 24Mbps you never get the full speed because your account ID have set the download speed policy to 32KBps or 220KBps ( UL 900 = 32KBps, Home 500 = 220KBps ). You never cross this line.

I put the screenshot to show you all that Hydrabad BSNL can handel download speed upto 11Mbps not only the Hydrabad BSNL if anyone shows this speed in his modem then you know that your line can handel this speed. But this is not mean that the owner of this modem get 1462.75 KBps download speed. He dont get it because of the speed policy. If BSNL made new speed policy and set download speed 1462.75KBps with his user ID then this person get this. You can call it capping the speed. But if the BSNL set the download speed 2048KBps then this person cant get the 2048KBps because his line can handel download speed 1462.75KBps mean 11Mbps. Look at below the screenshot. This person's modem shows Line rate 590Kbps but this person have plan policy upto 2Mbps but get the download speed 73KBps. because his line can handel 590Kbps.

Attainable Line Rate is the download/upload speed which your line can handle comfortably if our speed is upgraded. Like we both (I and that Hyderabad guy) will be able to handle 8mbps comfortably.

What that modem is showing Line Rate is called Attainable Line Rate in my modem and the connection speed is different i.e. 2mbps

Speed set in my account is 2048kbps downstream, so my connection speed/Line Rate in my modem is 2048kbps.

It is a difference in the naming by different modem companies but technically they are same.

@appu download this application Dataone Quick Usage Finder and install it. it will show you your's dataone used Bandwidth and balance bandwith. This application will help you to know the currect used bandwitdh. If your Service Records dose not show the extra used then you can send a complain letter to BSNL and you will dont have to pay extra money.
Just select Data One Usage Plan and Cheak usage for Month
Download link is below

I guess it was BSNL..coz changing the DNS resolved the issue..
My IP remained in the same usual BSNL range.

Re: **Post all your BSNL Dataone Related Queries Here**

Hi experts,

My modem's connection (the green light) just goes off for 10 sec at least 15 times a day. This is causing real problem, particularly as I work from home, using the internet. Is it a problem with the modem? I use the oldest type I modem. Will changing the modem help?

Thanks in advance

Here in my circle, we can change to any plan.
ask your babu to give in writing that HOME 500C is only for new users, get a sign + stamp.
as BSNL does not mention this on its site or in the application form.

Re: **Post all your BSNL Dataone Related Queries Here**

trying dnsadavantage on archlinux.as of now it is offering fast DNS resolution of IP's.
sad to see that they have no instructions on their page regarding for GNU/Linux.
for Debian/ubuntu/arch users(bridge mode),u have to edit /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider and comment out "usepeerdns" line.also edit /etc/resolv.conf and add below lines after removing any other lines:

nameserver 156.154.70.1
nameserver 156.154.71.1

I found below site listing some free DNS servers :

Re: **Post all your BSNL Dataone Related Queries Here**

Well I went to the BSNL exchange and they told me 500c plan is only for new customers! I told them nowhere on the website it is mentioned so and that other places, rajasthan, kolkata, chennai are allowing this, he said he would enquire and find out within 2 days... where can i check if this is possible in my circle or not ? Any BSNL website where I could ask so ?

Is dns advantage better than opendns ?
