It has been raining quite heavily in my place, now do anyone experience a slight fall in the BW? Or maybe my torrents health was not good enough

well.. last week it rained here for 4-5 dasy at a stretch (coz of a low pressure trough over bay of bengal) and throughout this period my connection went through ups and downs... that is, sometimes it worked well and sometimestimes the connection seemed to be dead...at times i could not connect even

 

[raj14]

Yes in fact i did! the speed was incredibly slow, it was like surfing on Dial-Up. thankfully it got fixed.

@achacko: that is perfectly possible. There is no relation between userid and telephne no, except that of billing. Any userid can be used from any telephone no. I wish that BSNL should rectify this asap, using the same technology of CLI based internet.

@raj14: It is illegal ofcourse, but not impossible. BSNL says so as to avoid id theft. I know several ppl using ids registred with other telephone nos.

@Generic SuperHero: The modem price varies from Rs. 1200/- to Rs. 2000. Depends on modem type. What type so you have ? A usb or a nic ?
Have a look at here for comparison between 4 types of modems

[Generic Superhero]

my modem has one ethernet port and one usb port... so this is type 1 --in fact i checked that one when i applied for the connection

I can't open 192.168.1.1.is it working for you now?Please let me know more about it.

I can't also open *10.240.128.195 for checking my bandwidth usage.

Hmm...I use Dataone broadband on my Kubuntu linux and have never had any problems. The connection automatically gets turned on at bootup and it stays on......plus the connection is MUCH FASTER in kubuntu linux than in windows 98 (which my bro uses and is so disappointed with its speed).
In Kubuntu the speed often goes upto 70kbps or more!

And in Kubuntu, I didn't even have to install a SINGLE thing...not even the need to pop in that stupid broadband cd or install that pppoe stuff.....All that was needed was my username & password

Last but not the least, even if u DON'T have a hard disk inside ur PC, u can still go online and surf & chat!! Yeah thats possible with linux livecds like knoppix etc.......the pc boots from the CD and u get a working linux OS, as long as the CD is in the cdrom drive. Livecds are perfect for trying out linux and for data recovery if ur pc won't boot.

Try it once

I used my frnd's id from my line , that too when he was already logged on to the net thru his id , so two users online at the sametime with one id.

@achacko: that is perfectly possible. There is no relation between userid and telephne no, except that of billing. Any userid can be used from any telephone no.

M8's,

Pls tell me the procedure on configuring the other id and using it quickly before those BSNL dudes stop it.

C'mon, who are you kidding!?! 70KBps? I assume that you don't mean Kilobits (denoted by the small b, but rather KiloBytes (large B). If you are trying to say that you get a constant download speed of 70KBps (P2P is not a valid reference tool, as many of them usually show ridiculous speeds when multiple downloads are in progress. I have seen 15KBPS speeds being reported on dial-up connections), and I mean constant, not data bursts (the sudden burst of speed you sometimes get when downloading, usually when you start a download, these go up to 150KBps on my DataOne 256), you are not on a 256Kbps connection.

Linux in not God, it can’t pull miracles. There is only so much you can do at the client end to increase your speed. The theoretical limit of a 256Kbps connection is around 32KBps downstream (256/8). And you don’t need to install pppoe on WinXP either, just specify a broadband connection and give your username and password, Win98 is so old that it is retarded for today’s tech. Linux/Win2k/WinXP will be better than 98 for bb, as they have a better TCP/IP stack.

you are not on a 256Kbps connection.

Wasn't that obvious. He probably is on a 512Kbps and BSNL does provide upto 2 Mbps.

On Sundays, the speed is supposed to be slow, I guess. But maybe not to extents you mention as max people use Dataone on a sunday.

Hey from where to chk usage?

Nope, I still think he is on a 256Kbps connection, otherwise why would he be so excited about getting 70KBPs on a 512Kbps connection? That would be well within the norms. He is trying to show the hyper-speed that he gets on Linux.

Well, ignorance is no crime.

I am facing a problem accesing the BSNL dataone connection.I can acess for 5-10 minutes and then the connection goes down.I need to switch off the modem and switch it back on again so i can surf for another 5-10 minutes.Why is this happening,it was working fine a day ago.The colour of my link indicator changes from orange to green.

 

[praka123]

First Check for any telephone line faults.otherwise it has to do with your CPE.
