What the **** is going on with BSNL BB?

Tell me something that's not opening properly for you. I'll verify.
Today at last the situation seems a "bit" fine. Rill yesterday, I used to get full speed for the initial some time, but later it deteriorates.
Btw that image opened fine today.
But still that "normal" speed is yet to come.
It seems noobish to ask after a month of horror that you have faced, but have you tried using any alternate DNS servers like Google DNS, or Open DNS. For me BSNL DNS servers have been very inconsistent for me. Since you are saying only popular links are opening, it "can" be a DNS issue too.

Now it's that night crazy time when everything opens fine! I'll check tomorrow on normal time, and respond back.

No not noobish, lol.
Honestly, and one might think that I sound crazy, but both Google and Open DNS servers respond worse than default BSNL server for me. Whenever I had slow down, I change DNS instantly to Google one but there is absolutely no improvement. And when everything was fine those servers respond worse than BSNL DNS server.
That particular image is taking 10 minutes for me to load, which is later confirmed by couple of my local friends. So I'm not really thinking about it, but what's wondering is that if I download the image via IDM all is fine!

Good. Seems the problem is limited within W.B only! Once it loaded okay for on my side too however, but most times it's taking so long........
You using Google DNS?
With IDM I also have no problem. But with browser?
Overall, today has been a much better day after a long time. No slow-downs yet.
I shuffle between BSNL DNS ad Google DNS. By default it is BSNL DNS. But at certain random times, it starts acting up, so change to Google DNS.
Like for you, BSNL DNS is the fastest for me even though it is pretty much inconsistent(when it works well, it is the fastest, at other times, it goes to a crawl.)
I dl-ed with browser only! No accl.

Okay, thanks both. Sorry Mario I misread you.
So what could be the problem with me? Why I can download the image via an accelerator normally, yet not within the browser? Can I do any tweak with my router settings? However not sure it'll work as everyone here (in my location) having same issue!

An accl. will generally open multiple streams to the target and simultaneously download multiple parts of the target resource (only when allowed and supported).
The other folks at your location that you are referring to, are they using BSNL (same ISP as yours) ?
Then it could be a line issue - get hold of the local linesman (I know, easier said than done) and ask him to check the wire. Better yet, trace the wire from your router's a55 back onto the junction box and see if you can find any minor/major cracks, joints, loose joints etc. although that would be particular to your case only.
Earlier you said, BSNL DNS works best for you, still, try changing over to Google DNS/Open DNS and see if it speeds things up (try at around the same time of the day when you face issues).
And finally, ........................ Pray!

Yes, the other folks, three of them actually, have same ISP, BSNL, and two of them have same plan actually. One lives just within half km of local exchange.
I don't know if I can ask the local service man to check the cable for me, I don't talk with them, maybe I'll need to send someone there for it.
Thanks.

Try contacting the higher officials like the nodal officer or above. Usually in BSNL, it tends to work rather than complaining in the local BSNL office.

How do I contact them? Face to face or they still live in letter age?

Bsnl.co.in then go to local state site. There you will find their numbers.
This. You can even find their numbers on the telephone bill too.
Personally, I prefer face-to-face talk. But you have to be lucky enough to find him. My district's nodal officer is always on the move.

Okay thanks for that site, bsnl.co.in, Papul. I do see some fellas listed (telecom circles, maintenance regions blah blah.., could you possibly tell me to whom I could send an email? Lots of designations, lots of names!
PS: How come at every night, at a specific time connection becomes all fine. Did they set some timer on my line, WTF?
