Hi... I am now using BSNL 500C+ plan.. which gives me 2.5GB of Bandwidth and NightUL too.

Now the problem...

I was in 500C before where i use to get nearly 270KBps of data transfer. Now after i have shifted to 500C+ I am hardly getting 210KBps of data transfer. Now.. is this something normal or a bit different?

If any of you guys are familiar with this.. please reply me.

yes. you will get only 256kbps(256/8 = 32KBps) connection.. Where i am on 2mbps(2048/8=256KBps). I am sure that you know this calculation.

Even at tirupathi, the standard speed for 750UL is 28KBps. The only suggestion i can give is to use IDM for downloads. It will help you to push your connection speed to max when downloading.

Oh.. gotcha. It is insane. Although the speed depends on some factors like distance from telephone exchange office to your home and some other factors. I don't see any possible reason that will give 80kBps for a limited plan.

I think bsnl in your area is capping the BW.

@ICO, It is not like I am being greedy. I am just curious to know what might be the possible reason.

Try Using Download Managers like IDM, DAP. If that didn't helped , I think your telecom district would be capping your BandWidth.. if it is.. there is nothing you can do except to cross your fingers

i m using 500c+ from 6 months and never get speeds more than 230 kbps but at night when it start downloading i cant browse, speeds drop a lot.But still its a good choice I think bsnl should provide dedicated speeds at cheaper rates. Businees plans are quite costly but they give awesome speeds .
