BSNL BB stuck on 8Mbps on 20Mbps plan.

Never worked with BSNL FTTH, OpenWRT or with SQM / QoS.

I have BSNL ADSL and Airtel VDSL (8mbps down / 3mbps up).

Do you use any kind of load balancer for the two connections?

Update:
I got in contact with the JTO, he said that 8Mbps is the max speed my line can handle.
He also added that there are faults in the underground cables which can't be repaired that easily.
Though my Downstream SNR is 24, the Upstream SNR is quite low at 5db

I insisted on raising the rate cap to 16Mbps, but he explained that it's of no use as he had already tested and decided to keep it stable at 8Mbps.

I'm changing to FTTH soon as its available in my city.

Thanks anyways.

He is lying,they are kaam choor people ask him to do it and than let us see,they are hesitant to work.

No. Both are installed in different places (home / work).

JioFi is my alternate connection. I have a Mikrotik router with USB connectivity to connect LTE modems (such as JioFi). It offers load balancing with LTE or with any other secondary connection, but I don't know how to use it. So far, I am able to switch to JioFi manually using a built-in command. It is a pain to learn to use it. Just learned about a button (called mode button) that can be customized to do anything within the router, like switching to the alternative connection when the main connection goes off. But, can't complain much as it offers the best value for money as a router (with tons of features such as load balancing, auto-failover, etc).

The data rate was 8191Kbps on Thursday, it went down back to 2048Kbps on Friday morning. I got hold of the JTO's contact number, I'm ringing him up.
This is not my primary connection, so, BSNL at 1MBps is okay to pass the vacation.
Anyways, 1MBps is enough for streaming Netflix and YouTube at 1080p.

Care to mention the model?

The best part of MikroTik router is the RouterOS. Lots of useful functional features. Sadly, RouterOS is limited to specific devices.
I've used a 5Ghz Wireless CPE from MikorTek, was surprised to see so much software features already built-in.

That means u went to 2mbps from 8mbps

hAP ac2. Any model with USB port is likely to support an LTE modem.

yeah, initially from 2Mbps to 8Mbps, one day passed, the next day back to 2Mbps. Informed the JTO, says it will be solved by evening.

You should be persist him to increase your line rate to atleast 16mbps which will be highly stable according to your line parameters
