I recently took an Airtel 2Mbps down / 512kbps up connection (15GB FUP one) at my home. (Kolkata)
Line Stats shows
Downstream: 2559
Upstream: 511
While the downstream rate is fine for 2Mbps, and I get around 2.1-2.2 Mbps speed, the upstream actually means that upload speed never crosses 0.4 Mbps or so. I believe around 700ish is needed for full 512kbps bandwidth.
I am using D-Link 2730U, which airtel is giving out for free nowadays.
How can I get it increased. I have talked with the customer care, and they have absolutely no idea about this.
Also another thing, the Airtel guy who collected the documents and stuff said that they give upto 4Mbps plans in my area, but since its a "green zone", more than 2.5 mbps doesnt really come. Is this really applicable, as I would like to take a higher speed plan, but only if it actually works.
Another thing I have noticed, Airtel's smartbytes page shows FUP left, which shows me that usage is 2.5GB, but my usage calculators (both in mobile,laptop) total up to only around 2.1 GB, is this normal. And their site shows 18 days left in bill cycle, while I got the connection only 6 days ago.
Thanks for your help.
