BSNL Broadband plan changed but no change in speed

[Anandh vamse]

Hello everyone
I recently changed my bsnl plan(2gb per day with 8mbps) to super star 300 plan(300gb per month with 10mbps and Hotstar vip acc) in BSNL self care account due to Lockdown. Its been four days in the self care site my current plan is showing as superstar 300 but the speed i'm getting is the speed of the previous plan.Any suggestions( what should i do to increase my speed?)

Dear Anand,

The promised speed by BSNL or any ISP is in Mbps meaning Megabits per second but what your computer shows while downloading is in MBps (MegaByte per second). Thats why so much confusion.
850KBps is a good speed meaning you are getting 6800Kbps = 6.8Mbps (850 X 8). Currently your speed is set at 8Mbps and you are getting 6.8 which good as there is some loss in transmission too...

Search online to see the difference between Mbps and MBps.. you will understand it better.

^^ you will be able to attain max speed of 80-85 % of the line rate........ ~6 Mbps in your case......

you should ask for line rate up-gradation to 16 Mbps as your connection stats appear good.....

Don't expect more than 8Mpbs from bsnl whatever plan you have. the speed depends on the distance between exchange to your home

I get 16mbps while my line rate is set to 20mbps hardly one kilometer away from exchange
