is BSNL blocking torrents speed ?

[crosswire]

Hello,

I have the BSNL 8 GB + unlimited (Rs 900/- per month plan).
My work involves multiple tab browsing and quite a good amount of downloading.

I get speeds of around 18-21 KBps after exceeding the 8 GB limit. Is that ok? Or am I getting less?
I have an ITI (4-ethernet) DNA-A211

Your speed gets reduced to 256kbps after 8gb. You should be getting around 25-30kBps

On which site ? Try any download from Microsoft and report the speed. Torrents speed may vary according to the seed to peer ratio and many other factors, so that won't give a real idea. 256 Kbps = 32 KBps, anything around 25 KBps is good.

No way I am gonna believe this. Using BSNL for around 2+ years now. Tried speeds up to 2 Mbps. Always got the promised speed on torrents. Now on UL 750 and getting 60 + KBps always. It may be some issue with the tracker, try from another site and check. I use a few private trackers, but mostly download from open trackers.

You will only get a speed of 2Mbps upto the download limit of 8GB according to your UL plan. Anything beyond that and the speed comes down to 256Kbps which means a download speed of +- 32Kbps.

Cheers!

Depends on your plan.

BSNL BB uses a Contention ratio of 1:8...your speed is 256kbps after FUP....so it should be 256kbps divided by 8,which is equal to 32kbps....so you should be getting around 32kbps...

@volcano619I do not think that is what is meant by contention ratio. What you are doing is converting bits into bytes.256kbps to 32kBps.

Actually Each channel is allotted particular traffic....or you can say users who can access it and it depends on frequency when you are on BB's....

When you are on a connection w.r.t. fiber.....then connection is distributed in terms of wavelength.....there is another access technique for GSM,where Time is a main concern.....

This distribution is multiples of 2,4,6,8,16,32 in terms of BB connections...irrespective of your speeds...

When fiber is concerned....there is no multiples.....as far as i know...the standard used now is 1:1...i.e. like 10% of your total bandwidth(WHICH IS NOTHING BUT YOUR DOWNLOAD SPEED)....your so called SPEED mentioned by your ISP

CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG...

But when you say 256kbps, that certainly doesn't become32 kbps for the end user. Going by your logic, anyone on a256k connection would get only 4kilobytes per second, whereas in actual fact it is32 kilobytes per second.

I'm not being rude or something......but that's how BSNL works...as of now....
A BSNL connection having a 256k Bandwidth will fetch you max. 32kbps (irrespective of the Surges / Spikes).....

You've got confused between kbps and kBps.
