Just got MTNL Triband

[coolbuddy_79]

@cyberwiz...well, that online bill was wrong...read the same thread (I'm screwed!) and u'll find more information at the end...i totally agree with muttster on the speed thing...and the most important thing i found out was yesterday...it was...The splitter provided shall be connected at the main tapping point of 2-wire Tel cable of MTNL. Additional Extension/Phone if any shall be connected only after splitter.means, nothing before the splitter (modem) in the line from exchange...earlier i was splitting it at that point only...one line to modem and one to phone...today i rectified it and could reach upto 30 kBps...and it's already mentioned we do have that loss...Internet protocols add extra bits which are around 10 to 15%. Hence actual speed obtained is 10 to 15% higher than what you get.

ok, so that means that u can schedule your download manager to start after 12 and finish before 8 without being ripped off and without stayin awake wonder if there is any torrent client that allows one to do that. Ofcourse we have transmission losses on adsl....its only that when u ppl were reporting only 25 KBps ie only 200 Kbps for a 256 kbps line, i thought it was too less. Anything between 28-30 is acceptable.

I wanna know if on Triband u people r gettin constant 25 KBps or like averageSify was giving me 25 KBps too but that was average......speeds wud stay at 32 KBps for most time and then jump to 0 KBPS for few seconds

Then install this plugin

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugin_deta...=SpeedScheduler

You can then schedule your downloads to begin anytime of the day, and also limit downlaod speeds at particular times.

Please note that since Azureus is java based it is quite high on resources, also do not forget to install java runtime environment before installing Azureus.

@cyberwiz, first of all i would recommend that u follow what they've "fine printed" coz if u don't follow what they've mentioned, then if something goes wrong later on, u're at fault, not them...i said i never got an inflated bill, but i won't vouch on the fact that it really doesn't matter when u start ur modem and shut it down...i've got a proper bill, but i still do make sure that i restart it once at (after) 12 am and once at (before) 8 am...so if u don't wanna follow that, that would be solely ur decision and the outcome ur responsiblity i do remote rebooting though...sitting at my office, resart the modem at home ...but i think u're issue is sleep here, so don't really know how to takcle that problem... as far as scheduling downloads are concerned, u can use any of the scheduler programs...there are many!!!...just schedule the program to run at a given time and u won't have to worry about the rest...try this to use the windows default scheduler program... go to start\programs\accessories\system tools\schedule tasks and with this you can schedule to run any script, program, or document to be invoked at any time or any interval, every day to once a year, and on events like system boot, user logon, or system idle...pm me if u need more help to schedule programs...@boygr8, the speeds are pretty much constant...like yesterday i downloaded wingate at a speed varying between 29.2 kBps - 29.3 kBps... the speed basically depends on from where u're downloading...as per my personal experience, i've found that u tend to get a kB or two less in P2P programs because of the no. of sources...so i'm happy if i get 25 kBps constant in P2P...

@ Coolbuddy - Dont worry man ! wat i do with my connection is my responsibility good that u clarified that u re-start the modem after 12 and before 8.Sleep is definitely an issue, dont wanna keep awake just to restart a modem. But will have to do it if there is no other option. Thanks for that offer of help BTW, can u tell me if u pay a charge called "safe custody charge". Its mentioned on the website but nobody seems to have a clue as to wat it is. I was thinking of giving an online application for Triband but iam stuck coz they list 2 types of modems without giving any descriptions. Guess will have to call them up to clarify the same.@tushar, thanks for that info abt Azureus but i dont use it for the same reasons as you mentioned i.e. its a resource hogger.

 

[boygr8]

That's good......MTNL is giving constant speeds with good latencies too......I need something like 1 GB@256 kbps for Rs 400

As far as I know Safe Custody is something like this,
if you are going out for a month or two for a vacation and not expecting any calls on your landline, instead of asking for a disconnection and risking the transfer of your landline no. to some other new subscriber, you can ask them to keep your no. in SafeCustody for which you will be charged monthly.

If you do not plan to do this then ofcourse you wouldn't be charged for it ;-), and you are also not charged Safe Custody during the installation.

that's what i said as well mate!! why would i worry???? just thought will clear out something to a fellow member so that he doesn't need to "worry" later on...

and there are no safe custody charges unless u do what tushar has said...

enjoy ur broadband!!!
