Look like, TN bsnl has revised it to 745 now. Not sure, if we get both Amazon Prime and Hotstar for Superstar 300 plan. feeling_greedy.

You are right, its for plans above Rs 745 in Kerala too, I might have mis-took as plans above Rs 750. I might just change to the Superstar plan!

The plan is updated in BSNL Kerala website as well -- -CUSTOMER VALUE-

Sadly the plan doesn't show up in self-care portal, so might need to visit a CSC! I'll try the twitter route and see if it helps.

So on July 2nd I Switched to SUPERSTAR 300 on my ADSL Connection. I have a Few Question About this plan

It got changed in few minutes

This Plan on ADSL is 10MBPS (50MBPS for FTTH)

I just wanted to Know I have 8mbps Line Speed is it Worth Upgrading to 10mbps. I saw some post about 10mbps has frequent connection dropouts.
Also how do i avail the Hotstar PREMIUM Subscription ??

1. Depends on the line quality, if you have good cabling, then increasing to 10 Mbps shouldn't cause frequent disconnections. What's the max attainable speed as shown in the ADSL modem UI?

2. Unsure, even I want to change to this new plan and for me in Kerala, the plan doesn't even show up in the self-care portal. I'd need to give a written application!

my D-Link dsl 224 modem doesn't show max attainable speed. I will try to change modem and tell you the max attainable speed.
Well for me this plan came yesterday and its all the way down on the 3rd page of tariff change(in Selfcare).

I don't see a point in arguing with them at this point, cause it serves no purpose. I will send a request letter by post which is much easier for me cause I am not in Kerala, even if I were, sending a letter by post is easier!

@varkey here is my Max rate(this is from my OLD modem)

One thing i notice is that SNR margin in my new modem is considerably High

This is Current Modem Line Stat(this one doesn't show max rate)

 

[varkey]

@sid.teche It looks like its more than capable of a higher line speed. Maybe get them to increase it to say 12-14 Mbps so that you can get upto the full 10 Mbps. Setting the line speed to exactly 10 Mbps may not allow you to reach actual speeds of 10 Mbps due to other overheads etc.

Regarding the SNR margin, was the DSL mode the same in both cases? It could also be due to the modem being newer and of better quality perhaps, the older one may have degraded over time.
