It could be because of high traffic during those night hours. I personally don't have BSNL broadband but according to my experience by hearing reports from friends, the maximum download speed in HOME 500 plan rarely crosses the 50kbps mark; most of the times it's around 32-36kbps mark. On inquiring about the low speeds the justification offered invariably is regarding the high number of HOME 500 plans in the near vicinity.

As soon as the "happy hours" are over, traffic reduces considerably and hence the spike in download speed after 8am.

Its due to heavy traffic load from 2 to 8 am

Everyone knows that download is free on this time

So everyone downloads torrents this time and every connection is slow on Dataone

Either u can change ur plan or u have no other choice

There is nothing u can do

Its free downlaod time

For more info about it refer to Dataone Sticky

ummm..., i think you got that wrong, for me the speeds rarely go that low, it is always around 1600-1700kbps. I think you wanted to write KBps right?
