I have an Ortel DSL connection since 3 years. There upload speed is 11 KBps on a 256 kbps connection and 32 KBps(256 kbps) on a 512 kbps connection. There upload speed is roughly half the download speed. My friend has a 1 mbps connection and he gets 512 kbps upload speed.

to the OP, uploading is free everywhere, I think...

You meant upload speed is half of download speed?

I too have an Ortel connection as a backup connection and frankly speaking, it SUCKS bigtime. Upload speed on a 256 Kbps is not more than 5-6 KBps and the download speed also never crossed 18-20 KBps.

Moreover, uploading is not free with every company, bot with BSNL broadband atleast...

I am from Bhubaneswar
the problem with ortel is their network and speed.
they are still at 256kbps speed !
and minimum charge for 512kbps plan is Rs.899 !!!
regarding uploading, ortel users well know how difficult it is to upload a 1MB file, leave apart 1MB, if you could properly upload a few kbs properly, its working gr8.
and also, its not new, this was there since its inception. advertisement is done now !

moreover, i had it 2 yrs back but it was aweful. its speeds never went more than 100kbps.
but with BSNL 500C+ plan(Rs 600 per month), my speeds touch 1.99Mbps also !


of late, news is there that Ortel is going to upgrade its infrastructure at Bhubaneswar and make it such that its plans will range from minimum 1Mbps to maximum 20 Mbps.
I will switch to it as soon as it happens. But i dont thing it will be done so soon !
and moreover, it would turn costlier !

I would be very happy if my Orissa is the first place in India to get this broadband penetration.
