MTNL Mumbai New BB UL Plans W.e.f. 13/04/2016

@Anup Iyer
Your modem also has same chipset as TP-Link ones. You do not need to change your modem/router.

Go for 16 Mbps plan. If the line is unstable at higher downstream sync rate, downgrade back to 10 Mbps or 8 Mbps plan.

Thanks for the clarification..Wont definatly not change modem/router...
.I just got an Email from SM of MTNL Mumbai division which says

Dear Anup

He told me to visit exchange tommorow and have a word with him...Spcl thanks to @socrates for giving me the email Id...He(SM) also told that I would be getting 14-15 Mbps...Waiting eagerly for tommorow to see how it goes...

I'm on a 4Mbps connection at the moment. My line stats are:

SNR Up : 24.1
SNR Down : 20.6
Line Attenuation Up : 22.6
Line Attenuation Down : 35.6

Can I safely move to one of the 6Mbps plans without my SNR going below 12-13 or so?

Thanks

@evilpoodle

Your stats don't mean much. Post screenshot of stats and tell us your modem make. Different ADSL modems have wildly different SNR values and sync rates.

But going by your posted stats, you should be fine upto 10 Mbps speed.

 

[evilpoodle]

Sorry, when you say a screenshot, do you mean of the router system log page, or something else? My router is an Asus N55U.

Finally I persuaded MTNL to change my plan to 16Mbps...But WO will be effective on 28th May and they also told Mine will an experimental 16Mbps connection...I told them its fine..On a different note Can i improve my current speed ..M getting 675-750 KB/sec when I use torrents..Normal download speeds are 830-850 KB/sec...M currently on BB-1500-8M 60 Gb FUP plan...I have overheard many people getting better speeds by improving sync rates...Can anybody telling me howz that possible???

@evilpoodle :This is what he wants

Access your router and navigate to status tab ...

@d5aqoëp

Here are my stats:

ADSL Tx : 759583
ADSL Rx : 1306919
CRC Down : 0
CRC Up : 82
FEC Down : 0
FEC Up : 538
HEC Down : 138
HEC Up : 0
SNR Up : 24.1
SNR Down : 19.7
Line Attenuation Up : 22.6

^^ Your line is not that good

 

[evilpoodle]

Yeah, I know. Can you tell me which of those numbers indicates that (apart from the SNR and attenuation stats)? Thanks.

 

[d5aqoëp]

Apart from those two, "Data Rate Down" indicates poor line condition. For 4095 kbps data rate down, you must have 30-40 SNR and attenuation under 20 for chance to use 16 Mbps plans.
