I just wanted to know how much speed do you get on your BSNL broadband connection?

I get between 25-28 kpbs consistently. While d/l thru P2P's and torrents I get less than 26kpbs.

hmm thanx a lot!
i m currently on a broadband connection by a local cable operator where i get arnd 20kBps/unlimited dlds for Rs. 1000/month! (speed gets around 35-40 KBps at nite) will switching to BSNL be good?
plus i went thru their tarrif plans...they mention night unlimited as 2 am to 8 am...thats an awfully short amount of time i think :( im basically gonna dld loads of stuff so opted for all time unlimited package :p )

I think they are all talking in terms of KB 's and not Kb's .

If BSNL was providing 25-35kb BSNL dataone would have been discontinued.

Even i get 25~30 kbps. Speed is consistent which is not a f prob. The real prob is the download c(r)aps

Personally I feel that you are enjoying great speeds and enjoying that with unlimited D/L's is great.

You are also paying a fair price. I hope this is the final amount payable inclusive of tax etc.

I dont think switching to a Limited D/L plan will make u be better of.
