hello guys
I'm frm mumbai & using
D-Link GLB 502t modem (earlier I had rented D link DSL 502t from MTNL )
I'm using MTNL broadband since may 2005 & I get a download speed of 25-26 KBps.
On last sunday I got a surprise of my life when I went to my neighbour to format his PC .While downloading drivers from
Intel's website I found out that he has 2-3 times net speed than mine. The 20mb file was downloaded in 3 - 5 mins which takes around 12 min in my PC.
he has the basic plan & a white coloured plastic body modem starting with the letter \"M\" I guess(could not find out the brand) he was also using INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER
please guys help me to achieve that speed. can I tweak my modem settings??
How can I increase the download speed ??
I even tried with INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER 5.12 but failed :wall:
I'm really confused

how can this happen ?? or should I complain it to my exchange
please help

hoping for a positive reply
Thanks in adv.
dude, check ur neighbours plan?? the modem/
router wont make any difference in ur speeds..IDM wont help much at the bandwith which u get.no tweak in modem will make much difference,only TWEAK been the bridge mode instead of pppoe mode as it gives more stable and infrequent disconnects compared to pppoe mode.
