hi guys i dont know howmany of u are facing this problem but many people of kolkata including me are facing this, we are having bsnl BB500 plan, the speed of which is greatly slow down during the free hrs that is between (2am to 8am), but it is getting normal just after 8am, where file is downloading @ >200 kBps but during the free hrs it is not increasing above 15kBps, weather it is a torrent download or general, the people in BB are not listning this the are coming in normal time and saying that "see ur speed is normal" any body there plz help me some how so that i get a better transpher rate in the free hrs.

very true i have the same experience in kolkata, during the free hrs 2am -8am d/l is very slow, and it gets back to normal just as the clocks ticks 8am. there is some trick played by bsnl authorities.

No trick..

All people are downloading at that time and it just juices out BSNL bandwidth :D

Yes the speed is very slow during free hours.

@sukhdeepsinghkohli
We know that most people download during free hours but this slowing down has started recently, earlier it was fine.

BTW, there is a similar thread running here *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51192

They will be doomed if they provide 200KBps also at free hours.
They are saying 'upto 2 mbps' and not strictly 2mbps.
Anyway Im not a BSNL customer. Is there ny limitation on usage during daytime??

They got to be capping the speed limit from 8.Very clever indeed by BS:DNL

Why BSNL tricks its gov. firm

There is heavy traffic load on BSNL at free ngith hours

i faced same prob while i was on dialup

BSNL reduces call charges for night times after 11PM

i got too slow speed at that time ki main connect hi nahin karta tha
