My plan is 750ULD.... but its not listed on their site... there is 800ULD.... so i guess its for new customers....



your discussion kinda derailed....

pleaazzz man... is it the EXACT same issue? bcoz even now its like this...

Dude, 750 ULD is now 800 ULD, tariff has gone up by 50 rupees from April 2013 for those who pay on a monthly basis. For those who pay annually, tariff will increase at end of yearly cycle.
Looks like you are facing same issue as we are. Thank your stars its only between 11 am to 12 pm and not 18 hours like in our case.

At least BSNL should now upgrade BB speeds to 2Mbps which should be the standard de-facto BroadBand Internet service of India.
Well It's just a DREAM for all of us Friends,so keeping Jokes aside.
When will BSNL upgrade its speed or increase Bandwidth according to recommendations by the Govt. of India + TRAI?
It should happen now after increasing the fu***in* charges and sucking money from us.

How about instead of whining, we do something about? Maybe write a petition or something about slow bandwidth, if anyone here knows how we could do that, tell us about it. Or maybe spread this message over facebook, twitter etc. and if it gains enough public attention, the government may do something about it.

Then again, that isn't going to happen..

Yeah, so what are the steps to do a petition? Our ignorance are boosting these ****ers nonsense. Other than 4 or 5 people in this topic no one ever complains! While I am quite sure lots of users are facing this issue at the moment.

BSNL Broadband once dead, its hard to revive. I myself have been forced to switch to a 3g service(not BSNL obviously)
Telephone line was dead for above a month. I was done waiting for the cavalry to arrive even after going in person and complaining at their head office here in my city.

2 Mbps service is 2020 vision. By then the world will be on Gbps.

Someone needs to chime in here, I've no clue. There was a similar news when there was a widespread issue among BSNL users about call network and other such problems. When the journalist asked the BSNL employees about it, they were clueless and said that no one ever complained anything about it.

Well I can chime in, but I need to know from where and how should I begin?
This is purposefully done imo, everyday the connection comes back normal, at a fixed time, and then ****s up again at a certain time! Also my complains are being dismissed automatically. I have never seen that, previously even for a tiniest problem some dumb kept calling me until it was fixed.

Just a small update:

SEA-ME-WE 4 undersea cable is down (again) and this is affecting connectivity to US and European sites from Asia. I got this info from a friend who works in Network department of a major ITES company. Since these companies have larger lucrative contracts with the ISPs, they get the connectivity preference during the day and we end users get screwed over. Might be why night time speeds are normal but day time speeds suck! [This might explain why while connecting to sites like Facebook, Google, we get full speeds, because they have "localized" servers, but remote overseas servers have high latencies]

Only one doubt in my mind: Cable was cut either today or yesterday, so how come we are facing issues since March beginning! :confused:

I like the petition idea but I am going down to the office next Monday, hopefully.

I am on BSNL too. Very slow speeds today. I wonder when they will fix the cable, if that's what affecting the speed today.

Well, if it IS the cable (and this is the third instance already of this damned cable being down just this year), its not in BSNL's hands.

My friend says, they are not clarifying why the cable has been disrupted nor have they returned a specific turn-around-time.

Curse the ship or submarine that hit it! :x

@Mario: Thanks for the update. However, as you said, if the cable is down from yesterday then how come we are facing it from before?

WHO the hell was controlling that thing?

Actually, this cable disruption thing is very common. When I used to work in an ITES, there were at least 2~4 occurrences throughout the year of undersea cable damage and network disruption. Sometimes it was routine maintenance, sometimes, ship's anchor or submarine, sometimes it was just unknown!

@Mario: Thanks for the update. However, as you said, if the cable is down from yesterday then how come we are facing it from before?

Eh! Gods at BSNL foresaw the cable disruption and "mentally prepared" us for the actual occurrence :p

Anyway, today is my lucky night, retiring early..will post tomorrow if I receive further updates on the cable.

Good Night and Sleep tight, fellows!

Most likely a coincidence. I think this is problem is at BSNL's end.
