From 7th May, 2005 midnight, BSNL routing their International Calls through Reliance.

The preference order is:

First Preference :- Reliance
Second Preference:- Bharti
Third Preference :- VSNL

 

[Sushubh]

so they are routing their calls through reliance which shows them as local calls... god help indian economy.

The Left Unions of BSNL has also pointed that out and opposed the move.But I think they cannot do anything, its Reliance after all.

 

[pupudada]

do not mind how and why they route as long as they return us.. hmm what was that kishore kumar song???`pehle lota do mujhko mere unlimited usage bsnl bhaiyya' Pupudada!(with apologies to: `pehle lota do mere paanch rupaiya barah anna')

So, ultimately it appears that no one knows for sure how much bandwidth BSNL really has.

 

[pupudada]

there is no such thing as a static bandwidth. you purchase a certain amount and you pay for that. u need more, you purchase more. to be on the safest side, bsnl would have assumed that all it's 77,000 odd users all over india would be using their 256kbps or whatever connections for the max. and would have purchased that amount + a wee bit more in advance. this is just my opinion and i am not always right Pupudada!

 

[coolbuddy_79]

over here u're quite close...and yes, there's no way to know for exact how much bandwidth any ISP is having, unless u're an insider or they publish it...

After reading that BSNL might have about 80000 broadband connections in total, the following calculation came to my mind and I want you to comment on this:Assuming that 60000 people took 256kbps connection(1Gb/pm), 12000 people took 512kbps connection(5Gb/pm) and 2000 people took 1Mbps connection(10Gb/pm), and nobody is exceeding the bandwidth limit, the total bandwidth required is60000X1Gb) + (12000X5Gb) + (2000X10Gb) = 170000 Gb per month, that means,BSNL would require a bandwith of (170000 Gb X 8 bits)/(3600 Seconds X30 days X 24 hours) equals 0.525 Gbps or about 540 Mbps bandwidth only....Or, did I do any wrong calculation?

 

[pupudada]

pooja, your calculation is based on the assumption that all people are logged on all the time, a highly unlikely scenario. then again even if that were so, the ones with the 1gb limit (and the maximum number of them are in that category), would finish their capacity much before the ones with the higher range would, which would result in a lower data flow (assuming that the ones having 1gb will stop d/loading after their quota is exhausted)... i mean to say, what you've calculated is the data-flow... bandwidth is purchased in gb's or tb's... the flow depends on the pipeline... assuming that you are in kolkata, and know about the city, bandwidth is compared to the `tallah storage tank' from where we get our daily potable water. the flow depends on the size of the ferrule that connects you home reservoir with the corporations water supply pipes... Pupudada!as i said in an earlier post, i might not always be right.. but i do try to approach the point as logically as possible!
